season 2 Day 56

Just got back from the dentist.  Had to take a cab there and back, which cost me more then I want to admit to.
And, I've got to go back in a few weeks for a filling.  Damn it!
With the O.I., my teeth have been an issue.  Osteogenesis Imperfecta, for anyone who hasn't been following much or just does not remember, is brittle bones.  Which I have Type One. And your teeth, as many people don't even think about when they think about bones, are well bones. 
So my teeth have been a cause of anxiety my whole life.  Using bleaching products to whiten them is forbidden by my dentist because of the fact they strip away layers of bone...er teeth...er bone... you know what I mean, in order to actually whiten.
Yeah, that bit of sensitivity you feel when you use the bleaching products is because you've just given yourself a lower bone density in your teeth.   Think about that for a few minutes.
