Lottie is based on/painted over Robert Pattison’s GQ shoot in 2022 which has lived rent free in my mind ever since. i think his browline still persists in Lottie in this moment, but it's fine. her skeleton is lowkey bustin through as it is

Went to the dentist this morning for my first appointment since my favorite dentist & favorite hygienist both left the clinic. Brianna (who told me she's currently not yet licensed so can only do certain tasks) scanned my mouth for a new night guard. She was slamming the machine against my teeth and couldn't get it to work in one spot so had to ask another person for help. Just started filling in at my clinic. Then, Stephanie was my hygienist. She sings along to the music while she manually cleaned my teeth with the metal scraper (instead of the gentle water scaler Jean used to use). Said she preferred to "feel it" as she cleans. Stephanie is currently pregnant. Due in October. She has a bunch of the same health issues as me (fibro, ovarian cysts, kidney stones) and would be using Lyrica & cannabis for her fibro but had to ween off cuz of the baby. She talked nonstop. The new dentist, Dr Regenold came in unmasked. Stephanie gave her one to put on as like a hint, and she just held it for awhile before then putting it on. Asked me if she should be masked for me, and I said something like, "my precautions have kept me safe so far, so I'm trying to maintain them." I thanked Stephanie for handing the dentist the mask & she said she respected me for my precautions "especially because of your fibro." Stephanie had covid 3 or 4 times. The dentist said my teeth look good, but there's a "bubble" in the gums above the bridge in the front of my mouth, so I have a referral to see an endodontist as that might be a sign of reinfection. I'm very scared about it and can't look up what that means if it is. Dentist said something about going into my gums to scrape it out. I had an xray there today, and it didn't show infection, but she wants me to have my follow-up just to be safe. They also talked me into a $68 fluoride treatment that's "like rainx for your teeth" and will keep them extra protected for 6 months. I have to go back in 2 weeks to pick up my night guard which will be a hard kind (not soft like I have now) cuz that's what this dentist prefers. I'm just happy it's a bottom one, and they didn't force me to get a top one (like another dentist in the past). I've been crying since I left. I'm very emotionally dysregulated at the idea my bridge might need more work or have to be redone, so I'm gonna be feeling unstable for awhile.
