I know, I have not written a blog in forever. Have not truly felt like saying much about myself in so long.
Some of you are aware I have been having problems with my implants. To be honest, I have been a miserable person for so long now because of them. Set in motion this Summer to get them removed and try to do other. At this point I am not sure where it will end up, and I have been going through bouts of depression at all the uncertainty. The last two months I have been going into the Denturist so that he can create an upper plate to be put in as soon as all the implants and rest of my teeth are removed. As he has had to work around the badly placed mess in my mouth, it has given me nightmares that I will end up with something that will also be like them. Last week I picked them up. Now I have no idea what teeth look like when they are out of the mouth and on a plate like this, to me they do not look right, but I have to tell myself it will be different when in my mouth. I so hope so!!!!
On one hand I am really looking forward to having the surgery and finally getting rid of what I have – countdown is on. Wednesday morning is the big day. Today and tomorrow are the last days these ugly teeth will be in my mouth!
On the other hand I am not exactly looking forward to the pain involved, the fact that I will be having to put that plate in my mouth, the weeks I am going to have to go through eating soft or liquid diet, and at this point in time the uncertainty of what the new teeth will look like and how they will fit in my mouth. I know I have two good people working with me on this venture, and have to put my trust in them, but after all the problems I have had in the past, this is very hard for me to do fully.Facebook has been my salvation and my escape from all the worries, and I have met some wonderful people in there. Despite all the glitches and problems they have
I have been enjoying the games I play and the camaraderie of the players in them. I have not felt quite as isolated as I would have otherwise. New friends and old have been my support and connection to the world other than what I live in here at home. I can only ask that those that care send me good healing thoughts now, and for a satisfactory outcome.

Jeff has enjoyed his new teeth it was a rough go the first maybe 14 days then he did really well and he can eat anything except some really sticky candy but them I have my own teeth and I can’t eat that stuff cause it hooks my two gold caps together and it feels like I cam going to pull them off…but anyway you will soon enjoy them a bunch

I am glad you updated. My mother has been going through problems with her teeth. She didn’t have implants, but she has been having most of them pulled one by one. She thinks she’s done, and then another one breaks. She has a new upper plate, but hasn’t been able to get used to it yet. She will be 93 in a few weeks. I expect you will have an easier time than she has had. I’m glad you’re enjoying FB and the people and games. Hugs and prayers.
Prayers go out to you. I know you will be so glad to have this over, and you will feel so much better I know. Hang in there and know that this too shall pass. I haven’t posted much lately, not felt up to it. I lost my Dad over a year ago but life just doesn’t seem to be the same without him. I talked to him every day and saw him often as he lived only a few miles. Shouldn’t be this hard, but I don’t know how to go on. Learning slowly, God bless
Here’s a laugh for ya…..I thought the implants were boobs till I read on. ha,ha I’ve had dentures for a really long time and don’t regret one minute of ever getting them. Hubby feels the same way. Most important thing to remember is if they feel funny or don’t fit right, don’t let it go, get to the dentist and get them adjusted. It’s so important that you follow through with any discomfort you have. It may takes months before they finally fit perfect or they could fit great right from the start. (Well not if their going in right after surgery, then you will have soreness) I never had any problems with mine and I’m on my third set. Hubby had to go back a few times before his finally fit and no longer caused soreness on his gums. Hoping the surgery went well, as I see today is the day. Keep us up to date on how your doing.
