Pain is indeed a profound motivator. I'm glad that there are no laws regulating dentistry at this level in my country and I wonder why there are any such things over there, it seems like unwarranted State involvement in a medical practice. I got four wisdom teeth extracted in the past three years and never had to deal with that amount of blood, fortunately. Hope you're soon beyond that situation for good. My own extractions signified big changes in my life, and I'm sure yours is the same!

Thank you for those beautiful rings, man! They look so elegant and beautiful!
