I tried to attend one of the online meetings/sessions for WorldUsability Day but could not connect. That was disappointing. It was good to see the various sessions in different countries.
Back to the topic of living with things I don’t like….yesterday I mentioned that young Fahmeena had to live with a “whitler” finger she didn’t like. There was also my teeth. I sucked my thumb as a child so I developed buck teeth or protruding front teeth. I had to live with it although I didn’t like it. I finally corrected it (wore braces) in my 20s. There was an opportunity to correct it in my teens. I actually recall the visit to the Dental School in Georgetown, Guyana. The professionals there told my mother to bring me later to get braces. We never made it back.
I paid quite a lot for my braces. I had a monthly payment plan. I wanted the clear braces but ended up with the regular metal (silver) ones. I had a complicated treatment/correction plan too. The doctor recommended extractions (of perfectly good teeth) so that there was space for the front teeth to move into.
