Hi everyone, it sure has been quiet around here. Sorry to hear about your spinal stuff n. I hope it isn’t too painful for you. We are having very cold frosty nights, and lots of rain on the valley floor where I live. Yesterday it thundered and lightening for about a half hour. We got our first snow dusting in the mountains. Sharon did your mountains get the 15†that they were expecting? Isn’t it early for snow? I don’t know what is worse for me being so hot during the summer or freezing now? I can’t seem to find that happy medium. My teeth are better. I finished up the antibiotic last

night, and I’m supposed to see the dentist on Friday. But the medicine causes a lot of tummy upset and this whole week I’ve been sick. So I will probably reschedule. It will be hard to do that when I don’t know about the weather and how I will feel ahead of time. That’s why I hate making appts. If its an emergency it doesn’t give me time to think about going, but if I have to wait then I am more likely to cancel. Especially if I have anything physically going on someplace else. It didn’t use to be this hard going out. When we went to the dentist last week we ended up going to the wrong building so I had to get back into the van, and out again when we finally realized she had moved to a building a few blocks away. Didn’t think to ask when I made the appt. Then her exam room was small and I have an oversized power chair so it was tight to try and get in and out of it. Luckily she was able to examine me in my chair. Something steve and I were

discussing was how the handicap parking was only across from the building she was in. I thought they had to put spaces closer to the door. It wasn’t that far but I had to cross a alley type road to get to her building. When they were taking x-rays they use some type of contraption to hold the film in place and I don’t know what happened but later that night my right side of the inside of my cheek had all these little swelling bumps there. It didn’t hurt, but it was weird. Its okay now, back to being smooth, but [my medical aid son] said maybe I was allergic to the latex on the rubber thingy that was attached to the contraption that she kept having to put in and out to get it positioned right. Maybe it irritated my cheek? Well I suppose all of this is adding to anyone who is a dental

phobic like me. it wasn’t all that bad, but I’m going to ask about if anyone else had any similar reactions? So for most of the week I ate soup which I found this wonderful egg flower w/tofu I think I told you about it in another e-mail. But I couldn’t put any pressure down on those teeth for a few days, and after the infection cleared up I’m able to eat regular food now. My grandson had his tonsils and adenoids out last Monday, and he is miserable. At 2-1/2 he just doesn’t understand why his throat hurts, and his tummy too. He isn’t eating much but popsicles, and soft foods, but I think he has to poop and the pain meds have him constipated. I feel so bad for him. But he’s already breathing better.

His adenoids were huge and that was contributing to his sleep apnea. He quit breathing on the operating table too, which we found out later. As soon as the swelling goes down he shouldn’t have the apnea anymore. Fingers crossed! J maybe then he will sleep thru the night every night now. Well guess that’s my update, how about everyone else?Hugs, Jackie
