Saw an endotontist today about a molar that gives me grief on and off past 5 yrs. Stabbing pain every now and then. Recently (December) dentist mentioned I have an infection evident on my otherwise healthy gum. The endo has determined that when a crown was fitted 20+yrs ago only 3 root canals were cleared. Evidently they now know that molars have 4 roots canals and not 3. Excuse me if I am not using the terms correctly. It seems the uncleared 4th canal is infected and the surrounding bone is wasting. So I've booked in to have the root canal cleaned out. Treatment is around $2,900! It could be worse as he reckons he can do this without destroying the crown. Still a bit of a shock. MrsP says now I have to live long enough to get my money's worth.

Cheap! MrsTMA endo cost $4500, plus has to go back to dental for new crown.

Ah, thank you. That probably explains why I needed root canal therapy on 2 molars I thought I'd already had root canal therapy on.

I phoned the Juror service number today in response to MrsPs recent juror notice. She already served 6 weeks around 4-5yrs ago and I did wonder if she got flagged again because of a change of address. I explained she was in her 71st year (sounds more significant than 70) and not particularly well at times. They wanted to speak with her and asked if she'd like to be removed permanently. She will now not receive anymore notices. That was easy.

Mrscove was not selected out of a pool of potential jurors last week. The defence lawyers did not want women over about 65 and it looks like they think that they are more likely to convict their clients in assault cases.
In WA the cut off age is 75 for jury service.
Today we are now clear to spend her $10.
