Him: You're going out again? The chipped tooth wasn't enough?
Me: Enough for what? This isn't ping pong. 2m on 12 sec and ESE winds? Of course I'm going out again!
I got out again today. Paddled forever, but got out... and in one piece and with no new injuries (though I have a pretty healthy collection of old ones). I didn't catch any good rides... but I was out there! As it turns out, you don't even have to catch a wave to be on top of the world... just get past the break at Cox Bay and it's close enough.
I spent most of the day freaking out about my chipped tooth. I've made a dentist appointment for next wednesday morning in port alberni to get it fixed. I suspect they're just going to file it down... I can't see them filling in such a small piece of missing tooth... they'd probably have to scratch it up some more to get anything to stick to it... and I'm not sure I want my teeth scratched up.
I have two guests from Brittany staying here. The dude is a surfer... and his girlfriend doesn't speak English at all... so it's been interesting to note that despite the fact that I don't know any French surf terms, I'm able to have a pretty good conversation about surfing in French... but I guess the fact that the surfboard m'a cassé une dent would make good conversation in any language.

Chipped teeth aren't fun. I have one. Lower front tooth. I got some composite (or whatever you call it) covering it. If not the somewhat exposed root would really make my life miserable. (shudder at the memory.)
ReplyDeleteI've been incessantly talking about my chipped tooth... and as a result discovered that many people have chipped teeth. How'd you chip yours?
