We have spent a lot of the past couple of weeks researching and visiting oral surgeons. We finally found someone that is both A) Affordable and B) Non-scary. In the next couple of weeks my husband will be paying for my oral surgery and dentures and I'll be able to schedule to have my dental work done. We still don't know if I'll ultimately have to have implants or if I will prove to have enough bone left to secure dentures in place. The oral surgeon said that I may get lucky, but he thinks that worst case scenario will be upper dentures and lower implants. To be honest implants really freak me out. I think that without the teeth in place, that it looks like the Frankenstein's monster's mouth must look. It also really scares me to think about metal screws being permanently in place in my jaw.
Austin has finally made it to the fifth grade, and along with this being his last year in elementary school (at least in our school district), comes the distinction of being in the Christmas Play! I'm so excited. I remember going to the play when he was in kindergarten and realizing that some day my baby would be in that play, and now here it is. Time goes so much more quickly as you age, and having school age children seems to make it go even more quickly. I love to create costumes, and I'm eagerly waiting for an answer as to whether he will be a reindeer or an elf. I hope he's an elf, because I have some great ideas for an elf costume, and a reindeer just doesn't seem to offer up the same creative opportunities.
