I survived. On an ascending pain scale of 1-10, I'm at 310.6. Lower jaw is swollen and black and blue and looking at me would inspire one to ask "What does the other guy look like?" LOL I definitely look like I lost.

@CinnamonSugar Please send me a whole herd of those wined friends. And tell them to bring the bottle and a straw🍷

On my early walk at 6:30 it was 56,wearing capri pants/sweatshirt just walked back/forth on driveway twice
This morning,I'll be walking to Canopy of Neighbors office to do some filing,I haven't been there in a couple of weeks, a beautiful morning to take a walk{6 blocks}
At 1pm via Zoom,the last monthly program for this yr' Passages' which is for older church members.It originally was going to be held at our church,but with the spike of Covid cases, the comm members decided against it
The rest of my day read NYT/local paper, try to get another walk this afternoon since its going to be sunny /warm in the low 70's
 
@hollydolly Yes indeedy. Rinse with salt water every darned time I turn around. One tsp to a cup of warm water. And around 2pm (24 hours after dentures were put in) I have to take them out, clean, rinse mouth again, put dentures back in. Not looking foward to that little exercise one bit but am going to take the pain med about 30 minutes beforehand so that if it hurts, I won't know it :LOL:

The dentures look exactly like what my real teeth did. Kudos to the tech who made them. He talked to me when the impressions were made and asked if I had any special instructions. Yup. Make them just like my real teeth because I don't want to look like a Cheshire cat! As we say in the South, "he done good".

well you're doing great already..(y)..can you tell us how much it all cost ?
 
@hollydolly $5,155. A big difference between that and the "estimate" from the dental practice that my insurer sends patients to. They started out at about $2200, then kept moving the goal posts until it was more than $7500 and didn't include the dentures! What's worse is that the practice very strongly discouraged using my dental insurance because they said they'd give me a discount. The $7500+ was their cost with their discount! Crooks!

The $5,155 cost at this practice includes everything. Adjustments as needed, all aftercare while I'm healing and even one relining down the road when necessary.
 
Today I've filled a BIG bag with clothing for donation ... and another bag with Brica-brac.. all these things I wanted to keep, but the truth is I've had most of them for a good while, some aren't even worn, so it's a waste to keep them when I've put on weight during covid, and I think they need to be used by someone else...given that I've already bought new clothes to fit my size now..

Also today.. have you any idea how far a 1/3 of a bottle of soy sauce goes if it tips over in the fridge door..*ugh* what a mess.. all over the milk and juice cartons below.. all over the mustard dressing and mayo et al.. and all stuck to the liner in the door which needed all scrubbing down...

Look at it this way: It was an opportunity to clean the fridge. When stuff like that happens in my fridge, the inside gets cleaned. In between spills, it usually looks like a failed biology experiment :LOL:
 
Covid is granting me more time with my granddaughter and 6 mo. old twin great-grandsons. They were scheduled to return to their home in PA today, but when Daddy returned there from being on a road tour, he tested positive for Covid. He isn't feeling bad, but the babies can't go home for several more days. While I'm sorry for his Covid and their continuing separation, I'm fine with more time with the twins!

As a friend, I beg you: please don't jerry-rig and slapdash patch this house, Deb. Now that better weather has arrive, ask neighbors, check Yelp reviews, talk to church friends, etc., for handyman recommendations and HIRE PEOPLE TO FIX THINGS PROPERLY. Otherwise, before you know it, this house will closely resemble your last.

I did mention this to the neighbor across the street when we were chatting a few days ago. His house is probably the same age as mine (around 30 years) and he said he had all new windows put in 5 years ago. Seems to me window should last a lot longer than that.

I had new windows installed about 15 years ago..not because there was anything wrong with the originals which had been there since the mid 50's.. but to have double glazing ...

I'm in a peculiar position with this. DH & I have been in this house for 37 years. We did extensive remodeling plus kept up on repairs, upkeep and many updates. Nearing 70, we've been putting off further investments in our home because we don't know how long we'll remain in it.

What we're considering...

Ripping up all the (13 year old and somewhat tired) wall to wall carpeting (except bedrooms) and having hardwood flooring or laminate wood flooring installed. Plus getting interior of the house repainted as long as we're going through all that aggravation and furniture moving?

Also thinking about having solar panels installed.

Or not.
