New Teeth

Hello, This morning the dentist put in a permanent bridge. He predicts that it will go with me to the grave. It was not a hard thing to endure, but I am glad to think that I will not have to do it again. My bottom teeth are now straighter than they were before all this started five months ago. Who knew that losing teeth would make such a difference in my appearance. My tongue is almost constantly checking out the new addition. Surely that will become ordinary in time. I will just take it easy for a day or two before I bite into any hard thing. He suggested that I always bite raw carrots more to the side. A new habit to form. I am grateful for dental care that could work with this situation and that we have the money to pay for it. They sent the bill to the advantage plan, but I do not expect it to pay much or any. Dental work is not covered unless it causes health risk. That has not been a problem because we have not needed much expensive care. Leroy rode his bike to the museum. He came home almost panting. That heart does not like to be used too much. He said there was also some heavy living in this volunteer session. He had to rest from time to time. Paula
