OK, I'm admittedly going off-topic today. You see, my black-and-white 5-year old cat, Mr. Whiskers, has been taking up some of my time lately. We recently took him to our vet, and he told us that, among other things, Mr. Whiskers has severe gingivitis. The vet recommended that he pull 4-5 teeth as a result. The surgery was scheduled, but I wasn't feeling all that good about having so many teeth pulled from such a young cat. So, we took him for a second opinion.
To make a long story short, the 2nd vet agreed about the severity of the gingivitis but didn't feel that any teeth should be taken out since the teeth are not loose and Mr. Whiskers didn't appear to be in any pain. This second vet said that gingivitis may be caused by a type of bacteria and she drew a blood sample to check. On Friday, we got the results -- sure enough, he has the bacteria and soon will be on an antibiotic regimen to take care of the problem! Amazing that poor Mr. Whiskers could have lost 5 teeth when all he really needed was an antibiotic!
Now, I'm not sure how this story ties in with wedding planning. All I can say is that if someone recommends something that you don't feel is 100% what you want to do or how you feel a situation should be handled, stop and think. Perhaps seek other counsel. Who knows, after weighing all the options, you may end up with a totally unexpected, but much better, outcome!
Until next time, happy planning ...
