My elaborate cover story.

It was like an afternoon at the day spa really.

Goodbye to the kiddies, and have fun with grandmother! A bobbing ferry ride, a peruse of Lambton Quay, window shopping (and stock up of Panadol). Then into the 'therapy session'. 2.5 hours of lounging with optional neck roll, choice of DVDs and a break half way for a hot sweet cuppa. After my session, I had 30 mins in the massage chair provided in the waiting room.

I almost didn't notice the 4 fingers, 3 drills, suction pipe and rubber tent that was in my mouth most the of the time!

When I walked out of the clinic you could have been mistaken for thinking I'd been having a touch of plastic fantastic surgery - lips plumped with collagen, mouth frozen into what I hope is intelligent wrinkle free face (until the injections wore off), and teeth whitened (from the dazzling new fillings). Some people will go to no end to keep looking youthful, and you know I'm turning well, older, this year.

P.S. If you do need a dentist though in Welly City, (or even to use one as an elaborate ruse) I highly recommend Angela McKeefry - General and Cosmetic Dentistry. Great job on a disaster zone of enamel. And did I mention she has a massage chair in her waiting room? Total genius.
