Digital X-Rays
Yesterday I went to the dentist for a check-up. I see my cousin. He has trained another cousin as his dental assistant. It's neat, all 3 cousins in the same room. My dental assistant cousin was asked to take digital x-rays this time. They have done away with the conventional machine. This time she plugged some apparatus into a computer and took her images. The computer prompted her by voice when it was ready to take the next image. It's supposed to be a lot less radiation. She made sure to put the protective cape all the way up my neck. I've been reading that this is the correct way to do this. We also had a nice chat (when I could) and caught up with each other. It was a lovely 'summery' spring day.

I don't think I have ever seen crocuses in Hawaii. But photos of them have been cropping up in blogs quite frequently lately. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun having your cousins as dentists. Love the spring flowers. It's sunny here, but still very cold. Valerie

ReplyDeleteLove the crocus, i saw the same thing yesterday on my walk! so pretty - spring is in the air!
ReplyDeleteI think the crocus is probably my all time favorite flower-- it's a sure sign Spring is on the way.

Beautiful crocus, Christine.
ReplyDeleteI don't fancy going to the dentist very much :/
Cool to have your cousin as dentist.

Love your crocus! How lucky you are to have relatives for dentists. I always ask for the cape and thyroid collar now that I know better.
