    Dental surgery for broken tooth

    Thanks for your replies you've really helped. I'm pretty sure it is a L-8 wisdom tooth. Even after 4-6 weeks of healing from procedure then the crown. I've had crowns before & didn't mind them. They do want to do under sedation dentistry because it is easier on them. I don't wake up easy...

    Dental surgery for broken tooth

    I broke a tooth & the dentist wants to build the tooth up for a crown. That includes a post & core, some shaving of the gum, total about a 1-2 hour procedure. I'm trying to decide if I am strong enough & brave enough to have this done. After I heal from all of that I would still have to get a...

    I have labyrinthitis - any advice please

    I possibly have diverticulitis. Antone else had it?

    I have the same problem. I can eat some meat, egg whites, bread, but if it's something I really like I know not to eat it or I will have abdominal pains for hours, sometimes 2 or more days. I've always been told it's IBS. It does take the joy out of life. I have lost about 30 or 40 lbs in the...

    Do you allow covid unvaccinated people in your home yet?

    I can't take the vaccine because of health reasons so I'm still cautious about people coming into my home. I feel bad for them but it is for my protection as well as theirs. We still know people that have the virus. How do you handle these situations expecially people dropping by without...

    daily napping habits for 80 year old seniors

    I'm curious as to how much sleep/naps seniors in the 78-80- year old range gets daily. As I've gotten older sometimes I feel the need for a nap after meals. I don't want to turn into a lazy person in my senior years. Thanks for your input!
