I'm late. Having all kinds of email issues and trying to fix them. I can get emails, but can't send. A lot of people having the same issue so it has to be the email programs, issue.
Already did grocery shopping and errands, it's 75 and sunny out.

Have a nice day.

 

[AuntieMe3]

Happy Thursday everyone. I had a great trip to visit my sister and her family but must have picked up some germs on the trip home(2 flights and a long layover) so I've been sick for almost a week now. I was reading an article about the new Covid strain so I tested and sure enough. I felt really bad over the weekend so I'm feeling better now but still not 100%. Thankfully DH is out of town and DD has been with friends so no one else has gotten sick. Its just been me and the dogs and they've been pretty good about letting me relax. Definitely grateful to have Jager here to keep have kept Dolly company while I was laying in bed feeling terrible.. Today is my last day of isolation, I think, but I'm still testing positive so playing it safe and still staying home but just wearing a mask around the house when DD is here.

Good thoughts and prayers for everyone that needs them...I read back a little bit but couldn't go too far back to see what I missed.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Many, manydear AuntieMe3! I have been concerned about you, my friend. Of course, you know, how sorry I am to hear you have been ill Dear Pea, continuing prayers of course for your daughter, too!

Lynnsorry you are having email trouble. On my secondary email that I use for offers from places like Ralphs or CVS, over the last couple of weeks suddenly I am getting bombarded daily with spam! Not only that but it is being generated from that very emailI should most likely delete the account!

PollyannaMom and all Quackerswith prayers you are all having a good Thursday.

I'm sorry to be late also. Dad and I ended up briefly going out this morning to Ralph's and CVS. To anyone with a Ralph's or Kroger this week a digital coupon deal is $5.99 for 6 Mega Rolls of Quilted Northern. We also had a couple additional discounts on this. Kohl's through Monday has a $10 off a purchase of $25 coupon. Dad and I, God willing, plan to go to Kohl's early Monday morning. We have wanted to go there anyway to look at clothing again along with possibly rugs. Dr E, my dentist, kindly emailed me. He said he has already looked at my XrayHe will call me to discuss it sometime today. I will absolutely update when he does. Thank you all extra for your [prayers and additional love!

I shall check back later

 

[Snowysmom]

Pea I hope your DD feels better soon. I will say a prayer for your patient. My friend's dog did well. They sent the lump for biopsy. It was encapsulated and hard.

Flyingdumbo I hope you hear from the dentist soon. Nice that you got out to do some errands.

AuntieMe3 I hope you feel better soon too.

I was in the office today as usual. The traffic going in at 5:20 was busier than usual. Not sure why. The traffic coming back to the house was not bad at all. Usually it is the other way around. Full Moonitis I think.

I needed a break from the condo today. I am getting anxious and stressed. Plus it is yet another change without Chris that has me missing him even more right now. Changes are just getting too much.

Have a good evening.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

extra Snowysmom!

 

[bobbiwoz]

@AuntieMe3, I hope you feel all better real soon.

@Snowysmom, extra hugs.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Still nothing from the dentist. He has another hour and half before 5 here! I'll certainly update when I do hear from him. Do all of you think I should get rid of my secondary email account? I do. It would be a hassle to update some things but that's okay. I would rather only have one email address anyway--simpler! My only hesitation is I know it may be most likely my information was sold somehow by a third party through a place like CVS which then might translate into my personal info...I also know, of course, whatever happens it's all good. I am grateful always

 

[flyingdumbo127]

I do have a dentist update to share with ell of dear you. I did speak with Dr. E not long ago. He really was so kind to call me after hours and only one day after, my panoramic Xray. That btw, really did go super easy and quickly!

I would absolutely appreciate extra prayers. Dr. E explained to me that what happened is part of the tooth broke oof, the structure is fractured. The actual filling, he did 4 months ago is still there--I admit that made me feel better to hear! He also said that from my XRAY other than one day possibly needing to address my one crown (root canal tooth) from 2009 along with one minor bottom tooth, everything else looked great. That was a blessing for sure.

Dad has been going to for years a periodontist named Dr. A out here who he has always spoken very highly of. Dr. E shared that he recently discussed a mutual patient with Dr. A, and knows him well! He's going to be sending him my XRAY along with some background information. We will reach out on Tuesday to set up an appointment.

Dr. E said due to my TMJ any choice is a challenge which we knew. The idea of course is to try to make this as easy on me as possible. He said he would recommend trying to save the tooth. That would as he see it involve, two longer appointments. St the first visit, he would rebuild the tooth. The second visit would be for a crown prep and all that involves.

Extraction route would be a long process most likely. Depending on the surgeon it might take a few months for me to be able to get an implant which then may need more care to make that viable (tooth is close to a nerve). I would want something there to get my smile back and also be able to drink/eat properly again!

One step at a time. How blessed truly I am to have options. Beyond all else to know no matter what Jesus has this covered. The same way He has me. I would appreciate extra prayers that His will be done be that His quick instant healing (obviously an ideal we know that) or whatever else He deems the solution. Dad prayers as well that he keeps calmer about all this. He also needs dental work done!

I will keep you updated. I appreciate all of you always, you know that! Sweet dreams and hugs!

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Sending prayers, Mona, for your decision making, and oral health.

PS I have both, crowns and one implant. I hate dental stuff, too! But fortunately I like my dentist.

 

[Snowysmom]

Thinking you Mona as you make your decisions regarding your dental health. Sending prayers to you. I also have crowns and I find the procedure not to be too much. I have a dentist who listens to what I need and knows I cannot have the mouth opening tools in my mouth or my anxiety goes through the roof. He is able to adjust the procedure to my needs. It sounds like your dentist is aware of your needs and will work with you. Like you and Pea, I am not fond of going to the dentist but I do like the one I have.

It is a cool morning around 50. It should be in the 70s today. It will be getting warmer over the weekend. Kenny and his GF will be away all weekend. I do hope to be able to go see Jeff and family. It has been awhile.

Have a good day.

 

[PollyannaMom]

@AuntieMe3, I hope you feel all better real soon.

@Snowysmom, extra hugs.

The same from me!

Still nothing from the dentist. He has another hour and half before 5 here! I'll certainly update when I do hear from him. Do all of you think I should get rid of my secondary email account? I do.

I am grateful always

I actually like having two. The one that goes to my phone is for important stuff and personal correspondence, and the one on my home computer is where all the reward cards and that sort of thing goes. I sort by "from" every so often to clean out the spam ones.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

to all so much! I am blessed indeed to have a good dentist. I don't mind going to the dentist. medical doctors are another story! Dentist I'm fine with. Just for me due to my TMJ, any dental work is a challenge. Dad will be calling Dr. A's office this afternoon. We realized that he should do this because I had thanked Dr. E by email for his call last night. In my message, I asked him to please go ahead and send Dr. A my Xray and also background information. So if he did that, dad needs to call! I'll update later.

Thanks, PollyannaMom! For now, I am definitely keeping both. No desire to start changing over to one at this time. Not worth it

Wishing all of you a happy and healthy September!

 

[lynxstch]

Good sunny morning. Another cool night, another upper 70's day. I fixed the issue with the email on the computer, but still having issues sending from my phone. It's been one of those weeks where nothing works right, and I'm getting frustrated with all of it. I did yardwork yesterday and puttered in the garden. Picked another 16 tomato's, shared them with neighbors. Still a whole bunch more out there.
Did laundry and vacuumed this morning. Don't feel like doing anything else.
Mona--good luck with your dental situation

Have a good day everyone

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Thanks dear Lynn and a big hug, my friend. Wishing you a relaxing weekend!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Dad thanks to God is long safely home from doing laundry and going to Ralphs. He said both places were very crowded probably due to this being a holiday weekend. Dad also was able to make me an afternoon appointment with Dr. A on Wednesday. I'll be his first patient at 1 when he comes back from lunch. We agree that is better than having to be there 8am on Thursday as was my original appointment time. That was a blessing, of course, too

Wishing all of you a happy and restful afternoon!

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Umm, no. We don’t do 8am appts if we can help it!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

dear Pea. We are up well before then. I would definitely prefer a 9am appointment which is when I always try to schedule my cleanings for. Dr. A update is how kind he truly is. Dad is absolutely blessed by this doctor and his kind staff, too.

Dr. A has replied a couple of times to an email I sent him sharing a bit about my dental needs and history of this tooth. He also kindly said that to him and his staff my dad is special and someone they love. So sweet. I will be bringing them a thank you note on Wednesday. I'll also be able to share with them about the birthday surprises I am working on for my dad. Perhaps they could help. Dad will definitely also brong them cookies, which they enjoyed in the past, when it gets cooler for baking.

I did get the two packages I was expecting. Snail mail was junky. I hope fun mail found its way to your homes, too

Have a great rest of the day dear friends.

 

[Snowysmom]

@flyingdumbo127 It sounds like you have a very caring dentist.

Have a good evening.

 

[tazdev3225]

Good evening.

Just a quick update. Dad had surgery yesterday as his kidney numbers made it impossible not to do it. I tried to let him Facetime my mom today, I was masked and used hand sanitizer at every station in the hospital and then again at my car on my keys and the phones. I did not stay long as he is still positive for Covid. The nurses agreed mom and dad got it there most likely. We couldn't get my husbands phone to work. I have that fixed so I will try again tomorrow if mom is still in quarantine. As I was leaving the Nephrologist was going in to see him. She did give me an update to pass on to my mom, and it wasn't great news. His kidneys still aren't working well. They are hoping for lower numbers tomorrow, but if they don't come down I'm not sure what else can be done.

I have been reading everyone's posts but I am really not handling this news very well. Dad looks down. He misses my mom as I know she misses him. It's just been a lot to handle and process. Add to it Anthony is seeing a specialist for the lump in his neck. Thankfully it is someone my daughter works with. In my head I know it's probably nothing but when this dr's office called within 20 minutes of her conversation to set up an appointment next week, and they don't usually see children, I worry.

Of course when I am stressed I want chocolate. I am trying hard to behave myself but the stress is getting a bit overwhelming right now.

Sorry to be such a downer right now I just needed to get this out, I hope you are all doing better than me at the moment. Have a great evening.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Hugs tonight, taz. You have a lot on your plate. Ongoing prayers for your family.
