3 More Months

I was scheduled to have an implant placed first thing this a.m. so I can get some front teeth again.  But the amount of bone growth is not what we were hoping for.  I was not surprised - my jaw line above the missing teeth is very high.

So, they opened the area back up and they packed it full of bone grafting again.  I am in a lot more pain than last time.  I’m hoping this is because they were a lot more aggressive with placement and packing of the graft material and it will be worth it.

Icing and taking it easy....

Walking into the Weekend

Bluebird Day!

We got about 2 foot of snow.  Not a lot of room to put it all.  It was sunny and 40 today.

Current Conditions

Blizzard watch until midnight.  Winter weather watch until 6am.

Winter is Coming

One Year Ago Today....

This is the last pre-pandemic picture we took.

The first COVID case was announced this same weekend.  6 days later, the bread aisle at our grocery store was wiped out and less than 2 weeks later, we were sent home to work.

Good Morning ☀️

Lots of snow overnight.

Valentine’s Grand Finale

Okay, one last V-Day post of our Valentine’s Day dinner.  It was a take and bake meal from Il Porcellino Salumi   

And, we watched Bridgerton for the second time.  Chris humored Erica (he “watched” the first go round with his eyes closed for the most part).  True love right there, folks.  ❤️
