Is KY on Eastern Time ? Are you near Louisville ?

@Shelbelle 

Ky has both eastern and central time.  I'm about one hour south of Lexington, so I'm on eastern time.  I have lots of relatives in Louisville.  It's a couple hours away.😃❤️

Got it, so we are in same time zone, good to know ! I will be thinking of you in the early AM, and know that you will be home safe in a few hours, you are in good hands.

Thank you.❤️ It really does make me feel better to know I'm in your thoughts.  It's scary going in for this, but hopefully I'll feel and look a little better once it's done.  I know it will get rid of a lot infection one particular tooth has been responsible for.  That kind of constant infection keeps your whole body feeling bad and run down.

An oral surgeon explained to me many years ago that tooth infections are very difficult to treat, said the antibiotics just dont reach such small areas on the body.

For me I had no clue I had decay in my upper left canine tooth 2 years ago, One day I felt like the tooth was loose, but had zero pain, my dentist said full of decay, I had no warning, and was then forced to have it pulled and get the implant. Maybe if I had pain the tooth could have been saved.  My DH just got 2 implants on 2 bottom molars, he had years of gum issues, and there was no longer time to put off the inevitable. He also had a very easy time with the whole ordeal.

Yes, I'm finally having my upper dental implants done.  I'll be having several extractions and then at least six posts for the implants.  At least I'll be leaving with temporary implants that don't come out.  I'm supposed to wear these for about six months until the posts fuse to the bone properly.  Then, they'll put in my permanent ones.

I really appreciate your well wishes.❤️

I can't wait til I'm feeling well enough to make that delicious pasta sauce either!  Yum!😋

I've been wondering where you were.  You've definitely been missed here.  It's sure good to have you back!❤️

Thank you for the well wishes.  I'm finally having my upper implants surgery tomorrow morning.
