Surgery is Over, Ben's OK!

Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you know that Ben had his dental surgery today at Fort Bragg - finally! - and everything went well. He was in a cooperative mood and the dentist was able to get everything done that needed to be done. That's a real relief for us, as we're moving next month and would hate to have to tackle dental problems first thing. He's got a mouth full of silver now, but thankfully no more cavities. He tolerates brushing pretty well now, and flossing too, but his damage was done long ago when he was a younger lad, and no amount of fasidious dental hygeine was going to take care of damage already done. But all of it's on his primary teeth thank goodness, as Ben hasn't gotten his 6 year molars yet, nor has he lost any teeth. He's had some crankiness this afternoon, but the anethesiologist said that was to be expected.
