Sorry to hear about the sore mouth, but I think you made the right choice. -- Best wishes for rapid healing, Joe ________________________________ From: Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, December 9, 2011 5:49 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] White-light solar scope update I spent most of the day working on the SunSpotter solar scopes. Made excellent progress. I had oral surgery yesterday. A failed 25-year-old crown left me with the choice of either a bridge, or an implant. Well, with sufficient funds left in my 125(k) flex account, I went for the implant. My ex-wife and brother have bridges and complain about them constantly. Today, with a sore mouth, stitches, and diminished bleeding, I still managed to get a lot done on the scopes. They wil definitely be done sometime this month! I've managed to not have to resort to the Percocets the oral surgeon prescribed, favoring over-the-counter pain/anti-inflamatory meds instead. The benefit here is that I don't have to skip Cocktail Hour, staying off the Percs. :-) I'm holding out hope that I can attend the SLAS solstice party, but won't make that decision until the last minute. The cost of the buffet is a waste with my mouth in stitches (have to stick to soup and such for a few more days, at least), and my GF might have to work. So, if I see you there, I'll see you there. If not, I'll catch up to you in coming days, weeks, or months. But the good news is that the solar scopes are moving along. Subscribers, expect delivery this month. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php
