My elderly parent has been in the ICU for days and struggling to recover from what is normally a routine surgery. Not much i can do from here but try not to let it overwhelm me.
I’m so very sorry, watching a parent struggle like that is so brutal. I’m wishing you and your parent everything good and healthy <3
Visited the dental hygienist today and was told she rarely sees teeth as clean as mine! So I’m in a good mood right now :)
Way to go! The older I get the more I’ve learned that dental health is an important part of my overall health.
I haven’t been to the dentist is ~10 years. I should probably go.
Oof, that’s maybe not a bad idea.
There’s a lot of stuff hidden out of sight that will only become noticeable when it’s too late. I was in the same position several years ago, back then it was at least 6 years since I last went to the dentist. Got some stern talking to and a trip to the dental hygienist.
I spend a good 45 minutes there crying in pain while she poked that hook of hers in every nook and cranny between my teeth. I was bleeding so much :(Ermm… I just realized this might not really motivate you to go. But please do go, prevention is still so much better than the alternative.
I never moved growing up, so only ever saw 1 dentist, I don’t really want to try to find one. I don’t want to be told my wisdom teeth need to come out; they don’t bother me. I only bleed a little when I do floss and I don’t eat/drink much sugar at all. Still though, Yea I need to suck it up and go.
If you like eating, speaking and not being in pain I strongly recommend it.
Hosted my parents for an early thanksgiving last weekend. Happy to have them around, also happy when I’m alone again.
On the weekend I got to do my own thing for an entire day. Which was great, but also a reminder how seldom that happens. Been thinking about the situation ever since.
Shit. My employer is mandating working from the office 4 days a week which is an hour away with traffic. We develop a cloud product which can be done anywhere. Planning on updating my resume when I get home tonight.
Sorry to hear that… Hopefully you’ll be able to find a place that is more reasonable
