"Bits and Pieces"

Just a few little bits of this and some pieces of that....

*****

I should not write late at night when I am on pain medication!  I said I only had one molar left.   That's not true.  I still have the molars on the upper right and one on the upper left, I just don't have any molars on the lower right or left.  I've been eating nothing but pudding and noodles for the last three days! I don't even like pudding all that much.  I'm hungry for real food! Did you realize that practically everything that is protein needs to be chewed???   And my mouth still hurts!  This hasn't been fun!   I'd better get lots of kudos and praise from my dentist when I go back to see her!  It's the least she can do after I did what she told me to do!!  :)

I don't know what happened, but the day after I wrote about the cat family that had taken over my deck, they disappeared.  We haven't seen either the cat or the kittens since!  Do you think it was something I said?

The weather has been really wonky this Spring.  It gets into the upper 80s then it plummets back into the 40s and 50s.  That is not my idea of Spring at all.  It is May....in Texas....it is supposed to be warm, maybe even HOT!!!  SNOW was predicted for Amarillo last night!  Our HVAC is flip-flopping between AC and Heat.  It's impossible to know how to dress.   I'm glad they changed the terminology to "Climate Change" because this sure doesn't feel one bit like "Global WARMING!"

The Big Guy has been very diligent about doing everything to reduce the effects of the Bell's Palsy.  He is doing Acupuncture, taking vitamins and other natural things like zinc and fish oil,  drinking a specially blended herbal concoction that sort of looks like tea but sure doesn't smell like tea!  And it has ..."things"....floating in it! Nevertheless,  I am thrilled to report that something is working.  The left side of his face pretty much looks back to normal.  This is really good news!  The second go-round has been much less dramatic than the first time!

I am going stir crazy.  I haven't been out of the house since Monday.  Four days straight!!  The pain meds are still making me groggy which has meant I couldn't drive, but I can't stand it one more minute!  I am going somewhere today....anywhere!  (And no, I'm not taking the pain meds today...at least not until I've been outside!)

Sorry to be so grumpy, but this just hasn't been a great week!

  1. Sorry you haven't had a good week. The teeth thing, I understand. I also have the soft teeth inherited from Momma.
    That really is strange weather for Austin. My experiences in the DFW area in May is HOT! Here in Indiana it is off again on again rain and sunshine, everything is so green and my peonies are already knee high and starting to bud.
    Hope you are on the road to mending and less tooth problems. I have a partial. I hate it, but wear it when I go out so I don't look like something out of the movie, "Deliverance." LOL! By the time I put on my glasses, partial and hearing aid, I wonder if that is really me leaving the house or the Bionic Man!!

  2. S'ok sweetie! I'm like that I don't any excuse like yours! I'm just plain grumpy. I also lost all of my molars on the right side of my upper jaw. I had them replaced with ..can't think of ..oh, yes, implants. It took a long time and was expensive..but I HAD to do it.
    I have them missing on the lower both sides. :(
    I have a partial that I NEVER wear! I carry it with me in my purse and have NO idea why.
