Yesterday, I went to my new GYN for the last time to get my latest round HRT. This new GYN didn’t think to tell me when I started seeing him in May that he was thinking about retiring. So, I lost my first GYN after 30+ years to get a new one that only lasted less than 5-months. My next GYN will be younger, much younger with no worries of retirement for many years. I wonder if all the COVID madness is what sparked these doctors to leave their medical practice?
DH has a dental appointment this afternoon. Actually, we both do. A few weeks ago when DH went in for his annual cleaning/checkup as well get his crown glued back on, the hygienist discovered a small soft spot on one of his rear upper molars in a hard to reach valley. My problem started off like past ones irritation around my with the furthest back on both my upper right molar (crown) and bottom molars (bridge). After doing my usual routine of using hydrogen peroxide in the Airflosser and/or both alternating between Peroxal mouth rinse or salt water my gums felt a little better but after a day or two of not doing that I noticed when I’d bite down it felt sore on the upper molar. There’s no way to tell what’s going on under a tooth that’s been covered as far as I know, so I’m prepared mentally for the dentist to remove the crown at least on the upper. Financially speaking it’s something I have lump. If it comes to this then we’ll get some reimbursement with through our dental insurance. *sigh* Anyhow, we’re getting a handle on these things now instead of letting the condition turn into a nightmare later on.
Now that autumn is here, I was looking forward to getting some peanut butter kisses. Not as in the little Hershey’s chocolate kisses but the old fashion molasses and peanut butter taffy kisses. Do you know what I’m talking about?
It’s aggravating when pieces of my childhood vanish! Hmmm, maybe I need to rethink buying candy altogether with our current dental issues. Nah, forget that!
Okay, let’s enjoy some giggles this morning with a selection of pandemic humor.
I’m looking for ways to incorporate get-to-know-me better moments in my daily content. One way to do this is to take part in question memes. Today, I’m joining Tuesday4. The topic of discussion is Marriage.
1. How did you meet your husband/wife? For those of you who are long-time readers of CAAC then you know that DH and I have always known each living in a rural community of southern WV but we began dating while in high school. He asked me to go bowling and the rest is history as they say.
2. How did you know he/she was “the one”? The day after our first date, DH called me. We talked on the telephone for hours. It was in that conversation that I knew that he was the one I’d marry and I was right.
3. How did he propose? It was Christmas Eve 1978. He came to my house to pick me up so I could spend the evening with his family who always celebrated Christmas first at his paternal grandparents’ home across the road from his house then afterwards we’d go to his parents. We exchanged presents in private. My childhood home was anything put private with the exception of my parent’s bedroom which we borrowed for a few minutes. I gave him my gift, which is the wood carving that I need it art class, and then he gave me mine. While I was opening it, he got on one knee asking for my hand in marriage.
4. Do you have any favorite stories from your marriage or about your husband/wife? After the birth of our son in 1994, I lost my engagement ring. That broke my heart but after several years DH surprised me with a second one. You can read about here if you’d like.
It’s time to grab a cup of coffee and follow along with me as I head off to visit Sandee for some Happy Tuesdays giggles at Comedy-Plus, then I’ll check out Random Tuesday Thoughts with Stacy Uncorked, and finishing things up by checking out this week’s word prompt found at Eugi’s Causerie for the wannabe poet buried inside. That’s a wrap for now but come back tomorrow for my last post of the month with Wild Wednesdays where just about anything goes! 😉
