Well, I just got the dentures back. The upper plate is actually staying in place without goopy glue. The lower plate, not so much. He told me this morning that he was going to make them "tight". Well, they were so "tight" I couldn't get them on. He removed some of the material and I STILL could not get them on. Finally, we got to where they are "tighter" than they were, but they're still loose. Which means I will need to continue with the goopy glue. UGH! But, there is hope that with the goopy glue, they might stay in place for more than 3 hours. Maybe I can even eat in them with the goopy glue. Wouldn't that be a wonder?
My smile is still off kilter. And visually the bottom teeth rotate just slightly to the left while the top teeth rotate just slightly to the right. Well, honestly, that's how my teeth were to begin with, my REAL teeth. It's not much. So little in fact that an orthodontist pronounced it to be not worth messing with in that my teeth were relatively straight. It's the equivalent of about 1/3 of a tooth off. Of course, my smile was not off kilter..........but I can live with that if I can eat something other than infant bites of food!
Now, here it is, almost dark, and I haven't been able to accomplish any of my goals for today. I don't even know if I should attempt to unload anything from the van. As it stands, the door is wedged shut, but it took two of us to do it. What if I can't get it shut again? I have a heavy duty headache, probably the result of the very stressful day, and I don't know what I can actually accomplish with darkness looming and a raging headache.
I guess I will worry about that tomorrow or Saturday and Sunday when I am home again.
One of the things on the agenda for tomorrow is the grocery store. I checked the two stores I frequent and I really didn't see any "bargains" that tweaked my fancy. I will need a few little things, but not much. Phew! Primarily I will need something to fit in my pocket at work to keep me going through the hours between meals. And half and half. I will probably try to pull together enough ingredients for one cooked meal of some sort. That always leaves me leftovers for several meals..........
So, I think I will try to get started on the butternut squash. At least that will warm up the house and I'm chilly today. I'm wearing a cotton sweater which is obviously not heavy enough to do the trick.
Later folks..............
