12/31/16 - On 12/30 we did absolutely nothing since it was quite cool here.  It only made it to 64 degrees.  When I took my denture out, I also got a few stitches out.  I still have one more to go and am hoping soon that will go.

Today, it reached 75 degrees so we got out and saw another movie "Fences" and then went grocery shopping at Walmart which was really busy.  We came home, made some dinner and now are settling in for the evening.  We are hearing some fireworks out and about and the campground had a huge dance at the club house.  Not sure I will be awake for the ball to drop but oh, well 2017 will come anyway.  Happy New Year to all of my friends and family.

12/28/16 - On 12/26, I went back to the dentist for a check up to make sure I was not having a lot of pain or swelling.  Things look good except they made me take out the denture and put it back in to teach me how to do it and that was a little painful.  But now I am suppose to take them out every night.  It is so hard to take them out because they are in so tight with the implants and I am still very tender but I did get it accomplished.  I am having some difficulty putting them in since they really don't snap like the bottom ones do but am slowly learning.

12/27 - I felt a lot better with the cold and not much pain so we decided to go to the movies.  We saw Manchester by the Sea.  It is nominated for awards but I was a little disappointment with it.  We then got a guest book for Aunt Kay in the mall, had some ice cream and then home.  Was good to be out.

12/28 - Today was laundry day and went to the post office to mail the book to Aunt Kay.  Off to bed

12/24/16 - On 12/23, I had the dental surgery appointment at 2 40pm but got a call and they asked if we could be in at 2pm so Aunt Esther and I took off. It was a day to dread but had no real choice.  Before the surgery, I checked with the financial girl to ask if it is better to get the $1500 back and send the upper denture to Delaware or since I was told that they could use the denture and would save me some money.  I soon learned that I needed them to use the denture so now I will start in next week to see if I can get come money back and keep the denture.  I was in the chair from about 2 15pm to    5 30pm.  I now have six implants with the old ones filed down and of no use.  They wanted to put in 7 but I didn't have enough bone.  After leaving the office, we had to go to Walmart to get some prescriptions filled. One was an antibiotic and the other a pain medication.  We did not get home until after 7pm.  I have been able to only use ibuprofen but am on liquids for the next three days until I go back for my post op visit.

12/24, Today, I have been doing fairly well.  I have had tomato soup and a milk shake from Mc Donald.  We got a wonderful box from my sister-in-law, Mary Ann and we have party mix, tea bags, lots of icing and cinnamon rolls so now I can wait until they let me try solid foods which should be soon if I don't have any pain.

12/22/16 - On 12/18, Aunt Esther and I went to a live nativity program.  They called it a walk through in which they are props up for each scene of the program.  So we started with the old testament and then Gabriel appearing to Mary, then the trip to Bethlehem, the innkeeper scene, then the shepherds in the field, a choir singing, then the wise man and the manager scene and then the three crosses, the empty tomb and then the end.  They created a path with luminaries.  It was quite well done.  It was a nice evening weather wise.  I am still coughing and not feeling well but am hoping that soon that will be over with.

12/19, I have started a conversation with the dental office in Dover, Delaware because I am requesting a refund since my upper denture has two fractures and it is not even a month old.  I then also called and made an appointment with a dentist office here to start over.

12/21, I had a free consultation and soon learned that I should have listened to Mary Ann's dentist in Milford because this office will not touch anything until I have better implants.  He says the way my implants are done is for a larger mouth and if he makes another denture, I will always have problems and the denture will constantly fracture.  I am so upset because all of this is a lot of money but I can't keep paying $2000 to $3000 to always get new dentures.  So I agreed to the surgery with 7 implants because he is going to make a horseshoe type of denture instead of a full palate denture.  Of course, now I am really into a lot of money.  I am trying to let it go.

12/22 -  Today, I heard from Dover and they will reimburse me almost $1500 but want the upper denture.  I was told by the dentist office that he would be able to use the teeth of the denture so now I don't know if Dover will give me any money so will go back to the office here and find out which way is better for me and finances.

12/17/16 - Just a short update because Aunt Esther and I are still coughing our heads off so we still have not done sightseeing. I had to go get some prescriptions filled, Aunt Esther ran some errands and otherwise we have been sitting outside to get some fresh air but just do not feel good enough to do anything else.  Today, we did go back to the farmer's market for more tomatoes and avocado.  I sat outside for quite awhile.  It was a little chilly because of the wind but nice to get some fresh air.  

12/12/16 - On 12/03, we learned about a great farmer's market down by the marina.  It was very good. We had lots of choices for fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and baked goods. Across the street, they  had a great flea market and all of it included live music.

We have done some exploring with finding various stores and banks and Aunt Esther has been fighting a bad cold so we have not done much at all.  It has been a little cooler so didn't even do much sitting outside.

On 12/10, I broke off part of my new denture again!!

12/11 - I was eating and a piece of the putty or whatever you want to call it, broke off and I was chewing and did not realize it and swallowed it!!

12/12, Last night I started with the cold and ran a fever but early this morning it broke so now I am dealing with a cough so I don't feel like doing much either.  I have a picture attached of our spot:

                                            Space #192, Fort Pierce, Florida

I didn't realize we were on such a hill.

12/01/16 - We left St. Mary's Georgia at 8:30am and had great traveling.  We only were delayed for a short time because of an awful accident on the other side of the freeway.  Drove through  a few sprinkles but otherwise was great.  Arrived at Sandhill Campground in Fort Pierce, Florida at 2:30pm.  She was very busy and decided not to sign us in until tomorrow but did show us the space and helped to park us.  Later we had difficult with the faucet and the water hose but learned that is was leaking from the very top so went back to the office but the maintenance guy was leaving and stated he would come and repair tomorrow.  We hooked everything up, took showers, ate dinner and now are just relaxing before heading for bed.
