Randomly, my muse shared the story of Lucille Ball discovering the presence of Japanese spies via her dental fillings. Recognizing this information is entirely out of context, I implore you to Google it. I did. Somewhere in the past 30+ years, I recall reading about it but had forgotten.
Unfortunately, according to this article, the story as told by Lucy appears to be mostly anecdotal. I believe it was a possibility as others have reported their own dental fillings “picking up” sounds and frequencies. But what’s really the most interesting part of the article is the fact Lucy was investigated by the FBI. It appears we have something in common other than our great sense of humor!
…in other news…as predicted, the knee x-ray was unremarkable. However, once I was notified of the results via official channels, the scheduler almost dismissed my complaint. Her words were “Well, the x-ray was good so everything should be fine.” I said “Excuse me?! Wait a minute! I’m still in pain. The x-ray didn’t cure me!” Have you lost your mind? Now, someone else should be calling to schedule a CT scan or MRI. She did ask me some odd questions like do you have any more bullets in your body, and are you expecting any shunts. 1. More bullets? 2. I’m not expecting any, no. This saga isn’t boding well.

I ask you –
Are you familiar with the story of Lucy mentioned above?
How hot is your preferred shower temperature?
Fact or false: dental fillings discover sound waves. Ehh I’m leaning on the false side of things.

Sometimes, I wonder WTF is going on with medical professionals. Something similar happened to me regarding my herniated disc in my lower back. The doc told me that they didn’t see any herniation via an X-Ray. C’mon! Don’t you folks know that you cannot really visualize soft tissue via an X-Ray? Aren’t y’all supposed to be experts/professionals?
-Now, that you mention it. I vaguely remember folks saying that dental fillings could pick up sound/radio waves. As I’m typing this, I kinda/sorta remember a sitcom poking fun at this. I think a character could make music come from his mouth whenever he opened it. I didn’t get it at the time, but I guess they were playing off of the idea that dental filling can pick up radio waves.
-I normally like a hot shower, but I do a cold water blast at the end of my shower. Supposedly, it’s supposed to help tighten pores for better skin and improve circulation. I’m not 100% sure that this is actually true. But, I’ll go with it since I have pretty decent skin (which probably is more genetic). 😉
