- Started work on a crown which will be in place next week.
- Dentist says that I need an implant on another tooth, but that takes way too long, and I don't want to be in the middle of that process while in Spain. It can wait until I get back..
- Doctor's visits and follow-ups either done or scheduled for the next two weeks.
