So I went to the periodontist again yesterday and things are progressing nicely. It's going to be a long road though. (Thanks for your best wishes, cbf)
And letitgo, thanks for the link. I'm sure drinking contributed to my gum disease.
I ended up getting really busy with a friend's yard sale yesterday PM and all day today. Neither of us really like yard sales but it needed to be done--she's moving away (sob). Anyway, we basically put things in semi-organized piles and she managed to make quite a bit of moola. (One thing we enjoyed--- She was selling her ex-husband's bowling balls, so she wrote a sign, "ex's *****---$1". People got a chuckle from that and the person who bought them is going to plant flowers in the finger holes.)
Needless to say Toadies, her ex is nothing like you, a person who really knows how to use a bowling ball.
Getting off track, so must go.
Hang in there everyone and have a great evening/day.
