So my trip to the dentist was for three things really -- I was SURE this ancient filling was going bad as that tooth tends to be sensitive / feels almost like there is pressure on it.  Nope, it's good.   Then there was a tooth last year that had discoloration but wasn't a cavity, wanted it checked as it occasionally gets sensitive too, so was worried that it turned to a cavity.  It had.  And third, I had a bump on the floor of my mouth.  Before the appointment, my mom was like so you think you have an abscess?  I didn't think so.  Those are pus, right?  Softer?  And usually a toothache goes with those, right?  None of that applies.  This is a hard lump.  Just noticed it in the last few weeks.  Feels almost like bone, it's that tough.  Mom had thought oh, umm yeah that doesn't sound good but could still be just an abscess.  Don't need the toothache and if they get infected or whatever, they can get hard too.  Wrong to abscess but also wrong to it sounding not good.  It's fine.  Think that was my dentist's exact words.  Or maybe it's normal.  Something like that.  She said people get them all of the time, including her brother.  They can even grow and be normal still.  Some kind of tissue build up or something.  Whatever, I lost track at it's normal.  But in a few months if I'm still concerned she can have them cut it out of my mouth to biopsy it.  Umm.  let's see - doesn't hurt, doctor says it's normal, isn't an abscess, isn't something worse like cancer, but if I'd like I can have it cut out.  Nope.  Think I'll trust the doctor for now.  Otherwise there's no reason to do that unless the appearance changes, starts to hurt, etc.    Now I am done with the dentist for a few months.  Still have those extractions I was supposed to get done last year.  Oopsie.  No insurance sucks.    That could be why that one tooth feels funky actually.  The broken tooth is affecting others.   Like, they're fine -- but it's funkiness is radiating to them.  Or whatever.

X-rays = worst part of the dentist, I swear.  Even they say I seem to handle it the worst.  Or when they've been digging around in my mouth for awhile.   Like both the dentist and assistant at the same time.  But I can calm down pretty quickly during that.  X-rays though, I just gag like mad when they stick those full x-ray things in the back of my mouth, then tell me to bite down slowly.  I wanna gag now just thinking of it, actually.   The only thing that makes me wanna gag worse is thinking of that time I had the bite tube put in before they medicated me enough, for the scope procedure.  *shiver* 

Otherwise it was okay news.   Last time I needed gum treatment.  This time that's good though she warned me to be sure I'm brushing in circles not across as my gums did seem sensitive and she says everyone brushes across which is a no no for gums apparently.

My MacBook charger has been bitten a tiny bit of damage and now isn't working. No green light, nothing. My kitten did it I suspect. She did it to another charger too I'm absolutely gutted.
Is it safe to buy a MacBook pro unofficial charger on eBay?
Thanks
