I have made tremendous strides with my new dental regimen and the antibiotics. The change is unbelievable for such a short time period. This procedure on Monday should not be nearly as bad as I had anticipated when everything was sore and very tender.
The Christmas Parade in the park was last night. Lil, Peggy and I led the parade and then afterwards we enjoyed Subway sandwiches provided by the association. It has become an annual event coinciding with the $2 Sub deal that Subway has each December. Makes feeding a crowd easy and it was mighty tasty besides.
You can always check on park happenings by going to www.magnolianews.blogspot.com It also has the same email sign up procedure at the bottom of the post if you would like to get updates in your email.
I was sitting here trying to remember what my day had been like when I remembered it was computer class day. Only 4 today but it is still early. One of the aspects of doing the classes that some may not think about is that it gives me a chance to know some people much better than I would without the class. I enjoy doing it very much.
Tomorrow is the H.E.B. Feast of Sharing where they feed all who show up for it a ham dinner. It is an appreciation event for their customers and we all are at one time or another. I will try to find out the number of people they feed at this event and let you know but it is a huge number.

Dental distress
I have been having a problem with one of my implants for quite a while now. Let's say since late September. It has been better and then worsen. In other words a bit of a roller coaster so I decided perhaps I had better have it looked at by a pro. So I called a woman who has stayed in our park, in fact she stayed specifically to get her dental implants installed. I have had mine since 1998 or thereabouts. So on Wednesday I had an appointment with an oral surgeon. The same one she had in fact. And for those who wonder I am not getting this done south of the border.
So I had some xrays taken and an informative consultation for general care. He had me make an appointment for a cleaning and placement of an antibiotic sleeve and that will take place on Monday morning in Harlingen. I will also be on oral antibiotics for two months. And he told me he knows they are expensive but he wanted me to get a Sonicare toothbrush. So $69 later I have one and I think if I had one of those wonder machines before this all started I would not have the problems I am currently having. So my new regimen is to brush morning and night and after every time I eat. That ought to keep me somewhat busy.

Family news
Yesterday son Jason had a test that we are all supposed to get every 10 years. The results were great but he found out he shares a malady with his brother Gary. We need to find out if his brother Rich has the same problem. They started the IV and he fainted. In his defense the nurse had a problem finding his vein and this made it worse. But he also felt weird and fainty after the procedure. It just popped into my head that his blood sugar could have been an issue as well. Need to check on that aspect.
And little Leo had a hernia repair on one side. He came through with flying colors also. As far as he knows he took a nap and woke up with an owie. He is 18 months old.
Butch and I did get our walk in yesterday but that was about it. We have had a cloudy/rainy period. Fortunately the highs have remained near 70 degrees. A vast improvement over last season...at least so far.
This morning the sun is shining so I think I will make laundry a part of my day.
Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
Till next time...
