  • Keep On Keepin' On!


    That's my Dad's saying.  And he's doing exactly that.  It's been about 6 weeks since he fell and broke his hip.  That was on a Sunday and the following Tuesday, he had surgery to put 3 screws in the bone.  Several days in the hospital, then a couple of weeks in HealthSouth, and now he's home ambulating around.  He's been using a walker that last few weeks, but today he will graduate to a cane.  The last few days he has been walking without any aid and doing well.  He's 85 and doing better than me!

    My tooth is still under my pillow.  Well, I moved it to the top of the chest of drawers.  No money received for it.  I was told that he/she was probably afraid to visit since I shot Santa in the rear many years ago.  I don't like univited visitors, and I certainly don't like people coming into my house via some other way than the front door.  Oh, the Easter bunny tasted good.


    Anyway, my gum is healing up nicely.  Since my extraction, Matt had to have 2 teeth pulled.  Many years ago he had one of the front teeth knocked out in a little altercation, and the next tooth was pushed in.  The Oral Surgeon at that time did a root canal on both teeth, then a filling of sorts, when they placed both of them correctly.  Two weeks ago, the one that had been completed out broke.  There was no saving either of them, hence, the extraction.  They were pulled on Wednesday.  It was painful, but he had a day to heal, and now he's back to work.


    Matt doesn't have the best insurance, and that's using the term insurance loosely.  He'll end up paying for just about everything.  He'll need to get a partial for those 2 teeth (and I'll end up getting one, too).  My "space" can't be seen since it's back in my mouth (the first of the large teeth), but Matt's space is right in front.  It bothers him, especially since some people make fun of WVians about being hillbillies.  He's anxious about getting the partial, but we need to find someone that is good with a very reasonable rate.


    Storms


    The storms continue to beat up people.  I'm beat up with intense migraines, but I still have my family and my home.  There are a lot of people that I know that are in the south and have lost lots.  They are in my thoughts and prayers.
