Good Lord, I'm only 70...

I was just eating dinner, and one of my teeth fell out.

DAnged it, just dropped a danged tooth.

Whatever, it comes to us all at some point - just fell out = what the heck....

Well dangit, before too long they’re going to have to take you out and put you down[emoji16] well I guess losing a tooth is better than losing a piece of your tooth. Less likely to get an infection is the tooth and root is all the way gone

 

[DeepseekerADS]

Well my Fiend, Whatever may come. The best to you for your life. I pray for only goodness for each of us as we walk this road alone.

Warm salt water rinse, don't swish hard!
A little watered down listerine, if you can stand it.
Don't smoke or use straws. (the pain from the sucking action, is called dry socket)
Eat & chew a little more carefully.
If you think you want to see the dentist about it, call & leave a message on their answer machine.

Soon, we're all gonna need signs that say,
"Honk if parts fall off"

Hang in there, Deep...

Hope all is well. I’ve been in the hospital for the last 4 days due to having a TIA stroke. They screwed with my blood pressure medicine which caused me to have a stroke, then they juiced me up with so much BP medicine that I couldn’t eat due to my body not able to regulate it’s BP while eating. Strange to think a low blood pressure will cause the deathly symptoms I had and not being able to eat due to postprandial hypotension

signal line,
I like the second one better.
The results from the first made me think I should already have my papers together.
Don.....

 

[DeepseekerADS]

hey Don, what we got left but a wee bit of hope? Me, I'm not thinking about nothin. But you, been watching you for years. Love you man.

 

[DeepseekerADS]

Me, there's so few things I believe in anymore. I do believe in Don, so much to believe in with his wisdom, and that Pat Cats, oh good lord! That gal is far smarter than me. Really, I would die for that gal = not a problem whatsoever.

That’s basically how it is here. The dentist office is closed, his son is on our football team, and Dr says they won’t be back till CDC gives them the green light. My own PCP won’t take anyone even if they had a appt scheduled before this, I tried as I had a 3 month checkup for med refills. Also the ER throws you in a isolation room with doors or curtains that slide shut so little to no germs get out[emoji849] I had a actual stroke, and was told there was nothing they could do for me right then so I needed to go home and rest.. they referred me to their cardiologist and he said without a doubt I had a TIA stroke and should have been hospitalized over night to check my vitals to make sure nothing changed or I had another stroke and wasn’t around immediate medical care.. this crap has to stop. We have far too many elderly folks and others with underlying ailments.

Deep, you know I Loves yous...
and that reminds me of a passage I read a while back...

"Let the Joys of your Life be the sweet offering sent up to True Father in Heaven....
it is not sacrifice of burnt flesh and suffering, but the offerings of Joy and laughter, that he craves..."
(was either from Levi Dowling Aquarius Gospel or Splendor of God, Bahii Faith, d/remember...)
made sense to me...

And CivilWar, you be careful! Reach out to your doctors office for guidance.
If you know any doctors or nurses, call & talk to them, leave a msg on their machines.
Doesn't Medicare have a phone line to medical persons?
I'm no doctor/nurse, every now & then I take a baby aspirin though...
All our doctors, dentists, & professional offices have answer machines & services.
Call them for advice, leave message let them know you may have a situation, etc...
I've done this in the past, over holidays & such... they always got back to me, when they could.
(That's why I walked around with misdiagnosed & mistreated pleurisy for 2 wks, when one of my docs went on vacation once, had to see a "stand in"...)

But anywhoooo,
everyone just be safe and calm as can...
our health & well being has mostly, always been on us, anyways.
Stay well & safe folks!

Deep,
Kind words; thanks.
Allow me to suggest you change one word in what you wrote:
"I pray for only goodness for each of us as we walk this road alone."
Change 'alone' to 'together'. Brothers don't walk alone.
Don......
