This morning we took Charles in to get fully wired. Well, Mom mostly. I turned out to have a dentist appointment myself at the same time.
It was a moderately painful experience for Charles. It wasn’t the joy we older types got to experience with the hammering of those little rings but there is still the slowly growing pain of your teeth getting shoved around by the hardware.
Mom tried to give Charles some analgesics afterward but Charles found it very difficult to swallow the pills even with a bottle of water. He eventually had to chew them down which he found preferable. He should be OK in a few days as his teeth settle down.
