Get teethe pulled? What?? Why?? Do expand please.
ReplyDeleteGreat goals, though doing the washing by hand is not my idea of fun!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your teeth also. Do you have gum disease is that why you are having them all pulled?

You mentioned your teeth in your last post and it seems they are a cause of much stress for you. Hopefully your plan will work and you'll feel better with the dentures.
ReplyDeleteOne thing you may want to think about instead of the cloth sanitary pads is a menstrual cup. I've had mine for about three years and the initial outlay was about $20. Here's a blog that has a lot of information about the many options available: http://menstrualcupinfo.wordpress.com/ Hey, it would eliminate some laundry, too!
Anon #2: I hear ya on the teeth. Root canal work (have had 3 so far) meant 2 'teeth' gave way to chronic infections. Although that doesn't happen to everyone, my oral surgeon admitted that once a rc is done, the gum has been invaded and is just vulnerable to infection. Hence, the 2 infected are sadly 'grinder' teeth and basically getting the 2nd one removed next month. The removal of root canal jobs on the molars is more painful than a tooth removal. I have a partial (lower front 4) and before that infections for 5 years, regardless of the fastidious care I took. I actually look forward to dentures, because all the crap I deal with will be over. I have thyroid disease and when I did a weight-loss shake plan (loss and maintenance) for 2 years, it messed with my saliva (unbeknownst to me) and literally my body was attacking my teeth.
ReplyDeleteWill pray on your smoking addiction.
