A New Year

~
Last month was crazy. My mother-in-law came down with pneumonia just before Christmas and needed help with finishing her shopping, wrapping and decorating her tree.

~

Ashleigh and Chad got engaged on Christmas Day. I wasn't there when he asked but I guess he did the whole thing....he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him...so it was probably good I wasn't there...I probably would have started crying.
~

~
After Christmas we rented a U-Haul trailer and drove to Morrisville to move Ashleigh out of her apartment. Then we drove the 5 + hours to move her to Englishtown, New Jersey where she will be spending this semester doing her internship.

~
Ashleigh will be graduating from college in May and then in June Chad will be getting out of the Army and our grandson, Casey, will be graduating from high school.

~
It is going to be a year of big changes.

Painful teeth

~
On the 19th they pulled all the top teeth and two on the bottom. They had expected the procedure to take about 40 minutes...but because my teeth were in such bad shape it ended up taking almost a hour and a half! The roots of 2 of my teeth extended into the sinus cavity and they had to put stitches in...they are hopeful that as the gum heals it will close the holes. I came home, took a pain pill and slept for 4 hours straight....woke up long enough to drink the broth of a can of chicken soup, take another pain pill and go back to sleep.
~


The next day I went back for a post-op checkup and they said things look pretty good....but of course they took the dentures out several times and by the end of the appointment I wished I had brought a pain pill with me....needless to say when I came home I took a pain pill and went back to bed.

Eating is still very painful and so I am mostly eating just soup & applesauce. I am getting quite frustrated. It has been several days and I didn't expect it to still be this painful.
