Slave to the grind

Over the last month or so I noticed I was clenching, grinding, and tapping my teeth a lot. A byproduct of tyt seemed to be the headaches I was getting with more frequency. I was hoping it would go away on it’s own, but it has not. I don’t like going to doctors if I don’t have to, but after some deserved harrasment by Katie I made appointments with my massage therapist/chiropractors office and the dentist Katie goes to. (I haven’t been since 2005 on my old insurance. I hate finding new doctors/dentists)

I am glad I finally went. The massage was no fun. Some major knots in my neck and jaw. Could have lead to the grinding. I am wondering if that was a result of the week I tried a different bar adjustment on my bike. Regardless I need to keep my jaw streched and continue with the massages.

On Friday I went to the dentist and found out that in fact I ground down two previous fillings. One had a new cavity starting undeneath the remaining part of the filling. Yay. So after two fillings and being fitted for a bite guard to prevent further damage. I did get a giggle when, during xrays I realized I forgot to take my septum ring out (see pictures)

A fun couple days for me, and a little footwork to correct the problem, but things could be worse. It is easier to live in the solution rather than the problem

Trimmed part of the beard in preparation for the upcoming holidays. I will grow it back, but not sure what length.
Now I am waiting the obligatory “Wolverine” and “Pirate” comments.
