Just trying to live with a possible broken tooth.. again

 

You really can't tell from this picture but it's the front tooth on the top side left from The Middle if that makes any sense it still functional however and that's good for me.


Saturday night and it's after 8:30 and the biggest thing I have to look forward to, which is a great thing actually as far as this goes, is having breakfast tomorrow with my son and possibly granddaughter and her boyfriend. Our Sunday morning breakfasts have become somewhat of a tradition. Mark and I usually have breakfast but always feel blessed with the kids can join us. I just love spending time with the family especially Mark and Jasmine. Today has been kind of a challenge for me first off I was disappointed when I got up spent actual time getting ready and getting in my chair and getting my chair squared away so I could at least get dressed. I can't isolate whether I can no longer dress myself like I used to or it's my power chair or lack of the power chair that I traditionally use. Whatever the issue is that I can't dress myself like I used to and putting my clothes on has become a challenge. We usually have breakfast at 8:00 a.m. so I up at 6:00 a.m. in order to throw my clothes on but the last couple of weeks on Sunday morning from 6:00 on I've struggled to get dressed. Hopefully tomorrow things will go smoothly for me and I'll be able to get up transfer into my bed. I have the transfers down pretty good but what's happening now is that I don't know if it's my spasticity is becoming more pronounced or my legs are becoming more overtaken by spasms or maybe I just said the same thing. We'll have to see in the morning. I cannot say that I'm surprised or whatever all I know is that I'm getting older everyday. Hopefully when if my old chair gets back to me I am hoping I will be able to dress and get going like I used to. Sadly, something's happening with my body and I have no control over the outcome.


Now, to make matters worse I must report that I was eating some hard candy, not hard candy like that old lady Christmas candy or something else that I need to write down. I may have written about this at some point in time in the last year but I have a really old box of black cows licorice that Karen or Diana gotten for me number of years ago then went to my my thing drawer where everything lands that is no longer a value or use but it's just too neat to be thrown away. Anyway I do like the size of these basically electric scum drops that of so dehydrated it's self that's the only way you can ingest these gum drops is to just suck on them until they eventually dissolve and fade away. Towards the end of the little hardcore lives they become soft again it's a little chewy I made this mistake of diet cutting or biting into one of them this morning and somehow and I should have known this it listened I think this fake tooth I have in the front that's broken off over the time and the dentist across the street just keeps me going. Anyway a piece of this rubber bike electric candy wedge between my tooth and my real tooth and I thought sure I was going to break a piece off but it hasn't broken but I do since it's loose it up and that's got me worried a little bit I can't really bite down on anything like nuts to eat and hopefully I'll just have to see how bad it is baby next week I'll drop in at the dentist across the street. He might be able to reinforce his work that he's the one that's keeping this tooth going for me I really like the guy. So I've been nursing this possible broken tooth and went shopping and brought the stuff home put away kind of. Now I'm just really chickened about anything I bite into afraid that's going to break the tooth off and I still have Easter to get throug…h
