roots


 


It was the end of a long dental journey today.  Over the last couple of years I've needed some failed dental implants replaced - technology not being what it is now, well over twenty years ago - but this long, expensive, and at times inordinately painful process came to an end this afternoon.  I'm told that yes, I can now bite into a carrot.  You can't believe how exciting this is as a possibility.  I had plenty of time - as I've had over the years - to contemplate the window sill of my wonderful dentist, but it was only today that, for the first time, I realized that the roots of these orchids bear an uncomfortably close resemblance to tooth roots.
