My Adventure with Dentures – Part Seven
A big part of this journey learning to live with a complete set of dentures is psychological in nature. Although I know full well I shouldn’t be concerned with what other people think, I sometimes wonder if others can take note of the fact there’s something different about the way I appear and the wayContinue reading “My Adventure with Dentures – Part Seven”
My Adventure with Dentures – Part Six
Never would I ever have thought a McDonalds plain cheeseburger could taste so good. It had been nearly a month since I’d had anything close to what I’d call “normal” food. I decided on a whim to stop by McDonalds and get two regular cheeseburgers. It was by far the best thing I’ve had toContinue reading “My Adventure with Dentures – Part Six”

The decision had been made that I would have my remaining teeth pulled and the same day, receive a set of dentures. The day for surgery had come.

My Adventure with Dentures – Part One
Dental well-being is something I’ve struggled with for quite some time. At a recent cleaning appointment at my dentist’s office, I was given several options going forward and decided it was best, both from a dental and financial standpoint, to get upper and lower dentures. I will, with the next several blogs, detail what thatContinue reading “My Adventure with Dentures – Part One”

Two answers to this one,,,my two adult children, who have both left their mark in life. Secondly, my teaching career of twenty-nine years and the fourteen years of interim and substitute teaching positions that have followed. Along with my BA and MA in Education.
Visit to the Frontlines…
Three weeks ago, heavy rains and winds made their way through western North Carolina. Areas to our west in the North Carolina mountains suffered catastrophic damage that will take months, if not years to repair. Today I traveled to those areas to see what possibilities of service there were and the sights that I sawContinue reading “Visit to the Frontlines…”
