Same Issues, Different Year
Happy New Year to one and all!
Steve turned 68. However, this year he did not get his usual prime rib and Yorkshire pudding dinner.
It seems that one of the root canals I had decided to break into my jaw. So for his birthday I had the molar and infection cleared out followed by a bone graft.
Consequently, I am not enjoying my liquid diet. Mainly because I don't like to swallow my calories and I can't have anything hot.
Everything has to be cold until Monday and there's to be nothing but smooth in texture.
I'm really not a fan of cold coffee. And I really do like having texture in my food.
Obviously I have some pain, that due to my physical condition, I can't do anything about. Other than put on an ice pack and do my usual, "suck it up buttercup" routine.
The girls are not pleased. While Sunshine just keeps looking at me with great concern. Her sister is still trying to boss me around to get me to pick her up.
I'm not supposed to be bending over. Seems that will do something to the clotting that's supposed to be taking place in my bone graft area.
Now comes the really fun part. It could take anywhere between 3 to 8 months before I am ready to have the post put in for the new tooth.
Because of my osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis I have been told probably the latter is the most feasible.
I suppose the good news is that the doctor swears that I will be able to eat somewhat normally by the time we go on our anniversary cruise!
So happy New Year to one and all. And may you all have a better beginning to 2025 then I have had.
