Decision was made that Marlon was to go check blood counts on Monday. We drove down to Hamilton together, quick finger poke, and then leave again. A couple of times, we drove around the parking garage for almost a half-hour looking for a spot, but Monday was smooth. Busy place.
Blood counts are good so dental work begins. Marlon's doctor was impressed with the dentist when she spoke with him last week. In support, I sit next to him in the dentist's room and hope my own anxiety, discomfort, and fear don't affect him.
Halfway through the drilling of four teeth which was quite intense, they took a little break to check in with Marlon and see if he was up to continue. He agreed to do more but said he was most concerned about the tastes of the filling material. With the pain and discomfort of the first part, one would think that would be the least of his worries but he is very sensitive to taste and flavour. As it turned out he didn't gag or react too strongly so I guess it wasn't that bad.
Back for more on Thursday.
Unfortunately, I did not get a before and after picture. Just after. In this one, he is laughing because he put a finger up when I pointed my phone at him.
