Category: What Now?

Today may have been perfect if not for this.

Yikes! It’s Almost July

And that means Camp Grandma (Camp Gma) is looming, and Grandma ain’t ready. This is no emergency or panic situation. The Camp is organized and planned, so the kids will have fun. No worries there.

The issue is I am behind with the background things that need to be done so things run smoothly and Grandma can have fun too. I would have everything done by now if I was feeling better and things were normal again. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow because my lingering croup or asthma needs to be treated. In the wise words of Winnie the Pooh – “Oh, bother!”

I may not be posting here much in July. But if you miss me, you can check out https://campgma.com and find out what’s going on at camp.

Dental Saga: Don’t Make Me Laugh

~ JodiLea

Why?

Because my dentures will pop out of my mouth, and believe me, you do not want to see that. This everlasting cold is keeping me wheezing and coughing. These are also hazardous to my new choppers.

Most of the swelling in my face has dissipated. Now I am having trouble keeping them in at all. I promised my dentist that I would at least wear the upper one a few hours a day. I must get my jaw used to them, he said. Yesterday I sucked it up and glued it with extra Polygrip. Gravity was not my friend. I added some more glue and held it in place for 3 minutes. When they finally stayed in, I realized they had slipped off-center and hung crooked. Of course, they were now going to stay adhered to my jaw, so I left them as they were. At least the presence of teeth kept my lip from caving in, so I could lose the mask for a while.

Well, it took 10 minutes today to get my teeth to stick. I hate looking at them – probably because they don’t even resemble the teeth I once had. But these are only the 1st draft teeth – just for cosmetic reasons. So I keep forcing them in every day. And keeping myself busy with small projects to take my mind off my aching gums and jaw. Tomorrow I have an appointment with my primary doctor. It is a routine appointment that I would cancel if I didn’t suspect I have walking pneumonia. I should have gotten over this cold a month ago.

No new noteworthy developments going on here. Just the same ol’ test blood sugars, have Glucerna for a meal, then take a nap. Yawn.
