Not-quite bionic woman

Not really the million-dollar man, either.  Maybe the $5K woman?

Wednesday was spent modifying my body a bit.
Up first was a temporary crown.  I think since it is so far back they used the copper cap.
The permanent one will match my teeth.
I am not sure which is worse, the anticipation or the sounds of the drill.

Later I picked up my hearing aids!  The top one has a microphone and transmits what it picks up the right one, which is only a receiver and does not amplify sound.  The feeling in my ear is mildly uncomfortable (a little itchy and a little feeling of stuffy ears) and the results are mixed.  I still have no directional sound (D. thinks my brain will learn which sounds are coming from the left and adapt).  I was able to hear my friend as we walked together and she was on my right, but I can not hear anything when I hold the phone up to my hearing aid.  Or maybe I am hearing a faint something?  Nothing useful.  I will continue to experiment with them for a few weeks and at that point I have to decide whether I want to purchase them or return them at no cost.

Even though I wear glasses I don't think I qualify as a cyborg.
