Just got diagnosed with 'Peptic ulcers', very painful I tell ya!
So, the minute I think (not drink) of coffee or tea, my intestines cringe, burn and I almost puke!
Well, maybe a blessing in disguise?
sigh, no fun at all!
The worst part is I always dreamt of working seriously with cups and cups of coffee, and yes I do have a job offer in hand (yeaaah) and will start the minute my OPT kicks in (anytime now USCIS, patiently waiting here)but w/o my coffee
I will be drinking cold soy milk instead, with horlicks most probably :-(
My visits to the doc have increased drastically, drishti agide mostly :-)

Me and my Dentist!
I finally visited my dentist today,"My dentist" ante, my foot! this was my first visit to this clinic I picked as it was about 25 minutes by walk, and Megha, my friend 2 floors above us recommended them, and also, we constantly receive their brochures by mail even when we do not request any!
This was definitely my 2nd choice....my first one being a "Dental Spa" or something like that. The reviews they get are awesome, I believe they give you a paraffin wax hand massage/manicure the first time you visit, also make a caffeine beverage of your choice (yes any latte you ask for) as you leave!.
Why I didn't pick the spa thing? it all sounded way too fishy, as if they make you feel this good while they milk your money?
Anyway, I made an appointment with this other dentist, kept up with them and got the verdict......(drum roll please)
a. 5 cavities ( 2 filled today)
b. 1 RC (Root canal treatment for the healthy teeth freaks who do not frequent the dentist)
c. A stupid 'Crown' or what we call a cap in India to top that RC!
well, with what the billing people at this dentist's office call "Awesome Insurance"
I will end up paying 900 to a whooping 1000 &%$#@)^ dollars!!!!!!! please don't hate me B, please and others reading, please pray I get a job soon (I would love to treat B for all this right)
I now take this very special opportunity to thank my beautiful Mom, handsome Dad, Grandmas, Grandpas, uncles, aunties and any other wonderful soul who has passed on this amazing gene of having pathetic oral health!
Ps: No, I am not to blame just because I brush at least twice a day, rinse twice a day and brush again after coffee/tea/sugar I consume....Period, I am NOT to blame.
