So I have dental implants now. Also, going to AC!

General
A lot has been going on lately, and even more is going to happen soon! It's been busy times!
I had my remaining teeth pulled somewhat recently and had two screws implanted into my jaw. I didn't lose my teeth due to poor hygiene or genetics, I'll say that much. The process wasn't fun at all, apparently I'm really resistant to the numbing shots that dentists give, so he had to pump me full of that freezing stuff, and the shots weren't working in several locations. The pullings and implant procedure were done on separate days, and each time most of the pain came from the "unfreezing" period after the actual procedure. There was a lot of bleeding too, I think that might've been the worst part of it, along with the stitches being dreadfully irritating. Otherwise I was surprised at how bearable the operations were, even while awake, as I've not been the biggest fan of dentists in my life. It's been tough only having teeth on my upper jaw for a month, but I'm finally getting a denture mounted to the implants in what should be less than 2 weeks. :) I'm really excited to finally get my "dragon teeth", as I like to joke with Grah :P
This is doubly good because it'll be in time for AnthroCon in about 2 weeks! Yep, I'm going, along with
, 
, 
, and 
! (along with a few other folks that I've not met yet in the hotel proper.) I'm really excited, it's my first real convention, and I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of folks and seeing what all the fuss is about! :) Yes, there will be tf/other art, probably way too much of it, and I hope to meet you all there! :3
Speaking of art, maybe AC is a shot in the arm that I need, because I feel like I've really lost my touch with drawing lately. I'm gonna make another journal about that soon in more detail, since this is about the dentures/implants and don't wanna make a cluttered journal. But yeah.. I'm really sorry that I haven't uploaded anything in a long long time, and that I'm never consistent. It's really killing me inside, especially when I wanted to post consistently so badly at the beginning of the year, and even before. I hope I can fix this soon.
Other than that, the computer is still running well enough after ransomware escapades. Grah's ankle has really been bothering him, and it's been a lot of going to and fro tons of appointments and things, but I really don't mind, I'm happy to help. I really hope he can feel better though, this has been bothering him for quite a while, and normally we'd be walking all over the place in the forests around here. Much to the dismay of the locals, I'm sure. ^^
Trying to make more journals, was thinking about doing an AMA, and definitely wanna post more. It's tough, I feel like I'm even fearful to post art or journals, really trying to get over that. Same goes for replying to comments or shouts, if I haven't responded, I promise I'm not ignoring you, I've just really been in a weird place in my life. Not all bad, but yeah. For my commissioners, sorry it's been taking so long, and thank you to those that have contacted me about what I owe, it's really truly a help.
Hope you all squelch and stretch and mutate into amazing beasties. :)

Hope both of you have a good time at the convention, just don't eat all the people, can't have a convention without the people... unless there can be a convention in Grah's belly, then that's okay.
Thank you for the well wishes, and no promises about the convention. And there really should be a convention there. Perhaps more a corporate christmas party for Stomach Space Transport, with mandatory gift baskets of fish.
I can't hear it in any other voice any more since seeing that c|
