Dental Surgery

I imagine I will be missing from here for a bit.  PLEASE don't ANY of you smoke (or drink more than one serving of alcohol) while I'm gone.

I am having dental surgery at 8:00 AM tomorrow.  My biggest decision is if I REALLY want to eat breakfast badly enough to get up at 5:00 AM?!

(maybe TMI - but I was born with teeth that had little enamel, so to prevent dentures, I had them all capped in my 50's.  Little did I know that the lousy teeth would disintegrate under the caps, anyway, and eventually not stay on - necessitating removal of 16 stubs with placement of  temporary dentures, implants starting some months later and then permanent bridges)

Tomorrow are the extractions   I have NO idea how they will get these out - and probably don't WANT to know ahead of time. I am dreading this like the plague - but did take some steps to get ready.  I have cleaned my entire house, including my large front porch, tidied my gardens, gotten in soft foods, Gingerale,   and ingredients for fruit smoothies, got a pain Rx from my GP, and gotten a ride.  I prepared for this............

kinda' like you need to do to quit smoking?!!!

Be kind to each other while I'm gone - and DON'T smoke!

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
