My Broken Rib: Day 5

Again, I had a good night's sleep. The main discomfort is from changing posture and twisting movements.

I decided to commit to cancelling my holiday.

I found the process was more complicated than I expected, but in fairness, Aer Lingus do try to give you a variety of options before completely cancelling (as my fare was not refundable).

Also, there was job I couldn't postpone further- I had to pick up my laundry and was dreading humping heavy bags in to the car. Bogdan was still in the practice on Friday afternoon and he decently offered to give me a lift down and helped me with the bags, but surprisingly, I found that picking things up with my good arm wasn’t too bad. I also found that wearing a backpack wasn’t particularly uncomfortable as long as I put it on correctly.

I knew that my bank holiday weekend would involve a lot less cold war landmarks and locations connected to recording David Bowie’s late 70s albums but the prospect for healing and getting back to normal service was a lot better, and right now, that seems like the main priority.

This was particularly gutting as I’d just got an email in that my request for a rare tour of German rock music landmarks had been successful and now I had to turn it down.

Your call is important to us....

...please hold until it ceases to be important to you.

I had reason to call my new broadband provider yesterday. I was looking through my bank statement and there was a direct debit for far more than I expected.  I checked the previous month – same. Some mistake? Maybe I was mistaken so I got out the contract and looked for small print or hidden costs to my introductory offer. Nope, there was supposed to be 12 months of reduced fees and it was supposed to start 2 months ago.

There was nothing for it but to call them. That meant looking up online to find an ...

Scene and Heard Productions: Up The Déise

Nothing really to do with orthodontics for today’s post, just an out of the blue mention for an organisation that might be of interest to you.

It popped out of the blue when it came to my attention – as an orthodontic practice in Ireland, Swords Ortho has to comply with a wide variety of regulations (employment law, infection control, dental certification, fire safety compliance, general health and safety, waste management, X-ray equipment compliance, disability access, continuing professional development and so on).  

To help us stay on top of things, we have a small army of advisors and contractors who come and go behind the scenes ...

Another lost orthodontic brace

I replaced a removable brace for a guy yesterday, he’d lost his brace a couple of weeks ago.

Me: “What happened to the brace?”

He: “Well I went for a walk with my friend, and when I got home, the brace was missing.”

This was delivered with a completely straight face. So my advice is that there’s only two places in the universe that it should be:

  1. Your mouth
  2. Your brace box

Nowhere else.

The brace box should be marked with a name and phone number that can be used to get it back to you if it’s lost and recovered by someone else.

And a removable brace isn’t working when it’s removed.
