My mind hasn’t been on blogging this week.It hasn’t been the lack of events I normally cover – my mind simply has been elsewhere.
To show you how bad things are I even turned down a free meal from Conservatives Abroad in Puerto Banús who this very evening entertain Gibraltar’s Chief Minister, Peter Caruana.
Those who know me will vouch for the fact that I do not turn down free meals lightly – especially as I am rarely offered one.
No this was the week of the dentist and although my session was yesterday I have been counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds since Sunday.
Two extractions were on the menu and numerous stitches. The picture from my good friend Prospero tells all you need to know.
Then I read a report from Ohio informing me that the same person who fills my cavities also could be filling my wrinkles—with Botox.
Some US dentists now are offering cosmetic procedures such as Botox but plastic surgeons say you should stick with them.
The Ohio State Dental Board has ruled that treatments, such as Botox, are within the scope of practice for dentists as long as they are limited to the facial areas.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons said Botox falls squarely within the practice of medicine and should only be done by a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Whatever!
However looking at myself in the mirror this morning I am not sure whether my face is a result of dental surgery or Botox – I’d say it could be either.
One thing is for certain though – beauty treatment it wasn’t!
