Hi Lynn,

As I wrote in my email to Carol, I¹m still down in the dumps. I went to my

dentist for an extraction and he thinks the headaches are coming from TMJ,

and he wants to make me a brace. I¹m giving it a little more time before I

do anything since my primary says it takes at least 6 weeks to heal.

It¹s really not fair that you didn¹t get to see Dr. to. He¹s the one

that should be addressing your concerns. What about making an appointment

with HIM, even if it takes a month or so to get in? At least if you make

the appointment and specify that you want to see only him, you may get some

answers. I hope the belching goes away. Did the associate give you any

kind of time frame before they looked into why it¹s happening?

Several smaller meals are better than big ones for me. You probably feel

like you¹re constantly eating.

2 new grandchildren to look forward to! Lucky you! it¹s nice that the

cousins will be so close in age. Congratulations Memom!
