Two steps forward, once step back

I made it to the dentist this morning to get impressions made for trays. The trays will be used (daily?) to soak my teeth in flouride and then also used during the daily radiation treatments to help prevent my fillings from causing burns on my lips and tongue. Dr Frank Scavuzzo DDS is a great guy. Having a family dentist that actually knows and cares about you has been very helpful.

Cathy and I went to the hospital this afternoon for the simulation and mask fitting. However, when we mentioned about the dental visit earlier in the day the nurse apologized and said they could not perform the similuation and fitting without the dental trays. Nonetheless, we had a good visit the the nurse from Dr Davis' office and she was able to answer a number of our questions. So the trip to the hospital wasn't a waste of time.

We called Dr Scavuzzo's office to see when the trays would be finished and then we rescheduled the simulation and mask fitting for Thursday afternoon.
