What a difference!


As the old song goes, what a difference a day makes.  I don't know when the injection sites will start hurting, but they haven't yet, and the stitches don't bother me at all.  I can't believe I will get away with having two molars extracted and only need 2 Advil for pain.  

The laundry was building up so I'm trying to do most of it, if not all, today.  
The sun is shining but it's only 55F and there is a strong wind blowing.  As much as I dislike using a dryer I decided to make it a bit easier on myself.  At least I've gotten the  2 sets of summer sheets clean and on the shelf waiting for next spring!   Two more loads to go and I'm finished for a while.

I managed to eat some cooked cereal and a banana this morning but that is only my normal "first breakfast".  I'm trying to figure out what I want for lunch and mashed potatoes topped with cheddar sounds good, although the potatoes I have on hand are better for other uses than for mashing.  I am not going to start complaining at this stage of the game, as I'll probably have much more complaining to do after a week or so.

Ok, so I stopped writing long enough to peel, cook, mash, and eat a whole lot of mashed potatoes with lots of cheddar!  I'm reminded of when my 4th younger brother played high school football with Moeller High School in Cincinnati (along with John Boehner I might add).  A high school junior playing football simply cannot eat enough to satisfy and fill him up, and I probably was not close to what he could put away, but I can say I thought I was making enough for several meals.  All gone and sooo good!

I'll be taking the last loads over to dry them in just a few minutes and the thought occurred to me that I haven't even formed the word "nap" in my mind or on my lips all day long.   I'm so grateful for feeling like doing anything at all, especially the laundry, so maybe I should reward myself!

  1. You deserve an "atta-boy" and a reward, like a big bowl of ice-cream.

  2. What good news! It sounds like those molars needed to come out. Enjoy your ice cream.

    1. I'm still not sure why there hasn't been more pain, but yes, they definitely needed to come out.

  3. Yes you should definitely reward yourself. I had mashed potatoes for dinner last night topped with sauerkraut. YUM!! So glad to hear you are feeling so much better. I'm wondering if your teeth aren't going to drift with your molars removed. Mine are drifting on top of each other and I still have my molars. Everything seems to go down hill as we age or have one darn problem after another.

    1. I'm sure they would drift if I don't get a partial denture to hold everything in place. Youi are certainly right about everything going downhill as we age. I marvel at the woman I used to be and wonder what happened to her.

    1. So far, so good. I put two scoops of ice cream in my milk shake, and each several spoonsful from the tub of ice cream whenever I open the freezer. I never thought I wouldn't want to live on ice cream though.
