Now What?

Now What?

50 and counting:
Same lady, happily married for 50 big ones, it's all downhill from here. Questions like, "should we travel, stay put?" No retirement, even if I work for you, I won't sit around and rot, all the things you talk about when you're ready to slow it down.
Well, I had an old dental bridge fail and we thought, first thing I should do is get my "choppers" fixed. So I had to have some teeth pulled, x rays, bite wings, whatever that is and then a beautiful "Burt Lancaster Partial."
As time passed, I notice a lump on my neck that wouldn't go down even after two go rounds with Penecillin. I returned to the Dentist and he told me to see my Doctor and let him know the results.
Well, I saw my Doctor and asked her what the lump was and she said "I have no idea!" So she gave me some Malaria penicillen and said that should take care of it, well, it didn't~
I then found out about Radiology and that it wasn't a competitor for Spotify. This was new to me, and it didn't feel right. I had to go there several times, they couldn't seem to get what they needed to give me an idea about what was going on with me. Remember when you were a kid in school and they told you if you break down the chemicals and compounds in your body you were worth about a $1.50? Well it was becoming obvious that I was gaining value to a lot of individuals as this process proceeded.
My Doctor called after about four sessions and told me the lump was suspicious and may be cancer.

Simple Trip to the Dentist?

I think it was a deep dish pizza, took a bite and the old bridge decided to give it up. The wife made an appointment and she let me know. Now dentists and prying out fingernails with a pliers have always been equal in my mind. So I showed up and surprisingly enough, a lot has changed since my last visit. The Novocaine needles aren't 27 inches long anymore, and the dentists are really nice and understand that you may actually fear them. He told me that they would make recommendations on options to fix my problem.
It all started here

  1. So far so good~So some of my teeth had to be yanked and the Dentist told me that the X Rays missed an infection. He told me I should have my personal Doctor check it out and could my Doctor fax him the results. So far I'm not concerned. Then we went and had dinner at my daughter's house and the first thing she asked was if I was growing another head. I was now starting to get a little  concerned, because after two rounds of Penicillin, still no change. Next Post; My Doctor Visit~
