I'm halfway convinced that teeth are a scam. Had that tooth nightmare again a couple of nights ago. And then last night, had a work dream where I basically went through the entire day and expected it to be Wednesday when I woke up. But no, bonus Tuesday. There ought to be a law.

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?

All I'll say is as someone with full upper and lower dentures, do what you can to keep your teeth in healthy condition.

Sometimes the darn things are just a time bomb. I got bad tooth genes from both sides of my family. Always treated them well. Until I was 27, aside from a single cavity, the only issue I'd had was with my wisdom teeth. Then when I hit 27, the warranty on my teeth and health in general must have expired, because it's been downhill ever since.

This was me, as well. I even mentioned I wanted to be able to afford having my teeth totally worked on long before I knew I needed dentures at the first elohimfest I attended.

🤗 awww Sorus... that sucks .. dumbass dental warrantys :roll:

But youd be surprised how tuff gums can become ;) so theres always a fallback ;)

:LOLS:

Dumbass body warrantys 🙄 between ageing and warranty expirations staying fit and healthy is ever challenging.. but definitely worth the effort. ✊

One day medical science will get sooo good at curing everything that we will likely end up living forever 😉 now that would be something to worry about .. 😬

Love n hugz sweet Sors ♥️ Keep on keeping on as best as ya can 😉😎😘

Independence Day was interesting. Beorn is visiting from Florida, and while we had a quiet day planned, I didn't expect it to be as quiet as it turned out. Unfortunately, Independence Day decided to be the day I had my first all out cold since I was diagnosed with the leukemia two years ago. Temperature fluctuated between 101.4 F and 102.3 F, according to our temporal scanner. My paperwork says to not take any fever reducing medications without first talking to one of the medical providers.

Being a holiday, I decided to tough it out, rather than call the attending physician. I did email my hematologist, though and heard back from her at 5:00 in the morning today. I now know that acetaminophen is OK, as long as the fever is higher than 101.0. Otherwise, she wants it to burn itself out.

So, yesterday was me staying in bed, and Beorn keeping himself occupied. Currently I'm running a low grade fever of 100.2 F or so, so I'm also taking it easy today. I'm hoping I'm on the mend, though, and that Beorn and I will be able to do something tomorrow.

Oh, yes.

SD did push one acetaminophen on me yesterday, before I found my paperwork saying not to take any until speaking with a medical provider. It didn't seem to have much affect, as the temperature remained pretty high throughout the day yesterday. But, at least my hematologist verified doing so did no harm.

No harm?

Faint praise at best. Fever spikes were blunted, she felt somewhat better for the following hours, and the recovery continued into the next day, even without further dosing.

I see her; she resists medication, but this helped her condition.

Ditto. Speedy recovery Menolly.

We just love it when our babies are home ♥️ Hope you were able to enjoy some of the time Beorn was home.

Thanks, y'all.

Had a few moments of cold sweats while sleeping last night, but woke up to a temporal temperature of 98.5 F. Huzzah!

Here's hoping I stay below 99.0 F for the next 24 hours.
