Dental Appointment Again Today

I'm not sure if I told anyone about what I'm going through with my teeth. I had a bad tooth ever since I had braces when I was 16 years old. Because of the work I had done back then I'm paying for it yet again! I had it pulled when I was about 32 years old. They decided to do a bridge back then. Hind sight is that I wouldn't have let them do that back then. I would have just left the hole. But NO, I went with the bridge. It actually lasted me about 27 years. I was told I would have that the rest of y life. Then I had some work done on my tooth about 10 years ago - the one that held up the bridge. Now remember, I HATE going to the dentist - military dentists were not nice most of the time. Okay, back to this tooth. About 8 months ago I found out my tooth (worked on 10 years ago) was now decayed. Yep, so much for lasting a life time. Then I found out it doesn't last a life time, it only lasts about 15 years. The good part is that I made it past 15 years.  So, in July they took out my tooth and capped the other tooth that was part of the bridge......ugh. When they removed the tooth they also put the screws in. I have been without 2 teeth for the past few months. Today I had to go back and get measured for the implants. It wasn't my favorite thing in the word....to sit there while they screwed in some screws to use for making the new teeth. Then of course, I didn't do the first fitting right, so they had to do it again....which is the way my life goes. Once that was done the screws came out and the other screws went back in. Now in a couple weeks I will be getting my new "teeth." Not excited. Not looking forward to this. Not happy that I had braces when I was 16 years old. Guess you can say, I'm just not happy about any of this.

I decided to relax by sitting down at the table and putting another 3 rows on the tapestry that I'm doing with beading.

I'm really not seeing the bird come together. The seeds are pretty much close in color and it doesn't seem to be working on getting the bird right. I'll keep going, but really not seeing the bird right. I guess it will show up more later. I did find that while I work on this I need to put the beads down for each row to make it easier and less likely to mess up.

Tomorrow we are going to pick mom up at the airport. It's going to be an interesting day. At least today I was Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
