Among Friends

[Bird mama]

I awoke to the prettiest pink and purple skies on the horizon just before the sun rose this morning.  The chair I ordered from Kohls's still hasn't shipped yet and I'm hoping it's because they move like molasses naturally and not that there's a problem fulfilling the order.

hey all

not to much here

no morn walk,spent 1.5 hours or so at dentist. I broke my left front tooth vertically last night. dentist saw me this morn, he looked at tooth said my heavy grinding of my teeth I do, which I a well aware of the grinding, I can not wear a mouth guard I break out in mouth yeast infections which are no fun. dentist rebuilt the front tooth to look like the remining part of the tooth, don't know what he used but rebuld is quite nice. he even reinforced my front 2 teeth with extra enamal to give more strength. said that should last a couple years and then will have to go thru it again.

ok guys later

Hey @Epicurean did the doctor explain what it was that looked like a thickening or obstruction between the kidney and bladder?  Please understand, I'm not looking for you to have something Godawful - I'm just one of those people who needs to know when my doctor thinks he sees something - I gotta have explanations

God Bless your sister in law.  She and her beloved were together a lifetime and I know this is going to be hard for her.  My faith tells me that your brother in law has been restored and nothing can hurt him now

The stuff that they use these days for fillings is remarkable @viva923   Especially the adhesive they use for crowns.  I am known at my dental practice for not changing my lifestyle when it comes to crowns and God knows I have a mouthful.  My old dentist tried to tell me one time that I would have to be careful what I ate after I got a crown.  I said, look I like good and plenty, taffy and milk duds and if they can send a man to the moon and the tiles on the space shuttle don't fall off then get some NASA glue for this crown

Birdmama ,the CT scan showed nothing blocking my urine. So,I'll focus on my GI Dr. for now. 
my SILAnd BIL have been married for 62 years and went together in high school. This is really going to be tough for her. I talk to her almost daily,or more like just listen. It's the least I can do. My hubby was one of 6 boys. There are only 2 of them left now.the two youngest,it's so sad😢

I am so ticked off at our bank. They all charge high service charges. I pay my bills online. Paid a hospital bill on 12/28,sad it would be payed by 1/5. Kept watching,but never was paid. Finally,yesterday after waiting for over 35 mins. We got to talk W/a human. 
they stopped payment,and gave us credit. Today we got $75 service charge. Half for stop payment and half for return payment. Why? All someone had to do was hit probably one key on computer and it was done. So,sent a real check this time. Sorry,to rant. Just ticks me off.

@Epicurean   Blood in the urine can be coming from the bladder, so I would talk to your doctor about a CT, and if anything is seen, a cystoscopy which is a look inside the bladder.with a camera, would be in order.  Sometimes, the bladder is overlooked.  Of course, it could be something else, but any bleeding should be taken seriously by a doctor.
