Haha, Schrödinger's dentures is spot on. I swear, every time I travel, my retainer case becomes this mysterious disappearing object. Once spent 10 mins frantically searching hotel sheets only to find it chilling by the sink...like, how does it even get there?
Haha, I totally get the Schrödinger's dentures thing, but honestly, sometimes I think it's less quantum physics and more just our brains playing tricks on us. Like, one time I was staying at my sister's place and woke up in a panic because my partial denture was nowhere to be found. Tore apart the guest room, checked under pillows, sheets, even peeked under the bed (which was terrifying—dust bunnies galore). Eventually found it sitting neatly on the kitchen counter next to my coffee mug. Apparently, I'd wandered out half-asleep in the middle of the night to grab water and just left it there without remembering a thing.
So maybe it's not always mysterious teleportation...sometimes it's just good old-fashioned sleepiness or distraction. Either way, traveling with dental gear definitely keeps life interesting.
Haha, been there. Once had a mini heart attack thinking I'd flushed mine down the hotel toilet—turns out I'd wrapped them in tissue and tucked them safely in my toiletry bag. Traveling brain fog is real...and expensive to replace!
Yikes, that's definitely a panic moment...glad you found them safe and sound! I started using a brightly colored denture case when traveling—makes it way harder to accidentally toss or misplace. Also, keeping a spare cheap case in my suitcase has saved me more than once. Traveling can be stressful enough without denture drama, right? Hang in there, you're definitely not alone in this!
"Traveling can be stressful enough without denture drama, right?"
Haha, ain't that the truth... Ever had airport security pull out your denture case for inspection? Talk about awkward pauses and raised eyebrows. Glad I'm not the only one dealing with these adventures.
