With Dental Savasana and Seinfeld: Who Needs Anasthesia?

The affected tooth

A few weeks ago I had an appointment with my dental hygienist.  A week prior to that part of a filling fell out during flossing.  Can't complain about timing!   

"Awwwh, time to relax", I said as I sank into the chair that reminds me of the zero gravity chair/Lafuma Chair often used in Reflexology.

Dislocated Shoulder (Part 2) - Rehabilitation (healing)

Mowgli (can you see him?) naps on the couch during R's session.

In addition to physical therapy twice a week R. also receives Reflexology from time to time to keep these healing juices flowing; in case of a full session it's usually a face/foot combo, in case of mini sessions it might be just Dien Cham; I gave him at least three sessions on a hike due to challenges in his left calf.  The left side of the body has started compensating a bit for the lack of mobility in the right side (dislocation) as per his physical therapist, and, of course, it make sense.  

Embracing the Polar Vortex - Getting Fresh Air and Sun

snowy walk

Many people I know were getting sick of the cold weather this winter very quickly.  And at this point I am ready for spring, too.

However, once I embraced the snow and cold weather (polar vortex), I really had a great time.  Layering, of course, was the key; I must have looked 10-20 pounds heavier, but my walk with Mowgli in the morning is very important, and one of my priorities was to not get sick during the winter.  I wanted to get fresh air AND sun and it was easiest to do this in the morning.
