Early this morning the Dentist completed the work....All the stitches were removed!
Now...as we approach the holidays they will begin to make the stint and the new teeth!
A beautiful day!!!
Magic...
It took me many years to be able to put my car in the garage....BUT this year I did it!! The garage is clean enough to place one new Kia inside it for the winter months ahead!! All the summer gear is put inside too...the table.. the chairs....the grill.....
AND THEN MAGIC HAPPENS....
It is a beautiful day here in upstate NY....A day for being outside in the sun... for perhaps the last time without a jacket on.....So with no table to sit at....a blanket was spread on the grass...which is longer and will not be cut again before winter....so it gave a soft cushion....and breakfast was served on it...fresh coffee and fruit...french toast and warm maple syrup...apple cider...
and LIFE just can't get much more MAGICAL than sharing this with a 4 year old.....

And so it is...
Healing time....went to the dentist bright and early this morning....have to return again on Thursday....It is now healing time! They got a bit upset with him this morning for not drinking enough fluids yesterday...or having soft foods.....He said .."they kicked my ass" yesterday and he slept on and off ...only waking enough to take a pain pill or an antibiotic...It's just the body's' way of shutting down when we have so much going on I think....sleep...the cure to all....Wonder if I could master that one! Might be a good idea seeing as I survive on about 5 hours of sleep a night....(but then I do take those beloved naps!! LOL)
It is a typical gray and cold fall day here in upstate..(high of 40!) So the heat is on....the car is in the garage....and me....well...I am getting into the paint today....FINALLY!

Finally....if you can imagine...
Today was the final day of the extraction of ALL of the teeth....bone had to be removed today also.
Tough day....lots of TLC going on here....
Can you imagine? I mean really having to have all your teeth extracted! I've only had one done here and there....and that was an ordeal....The dental team is giving out medals for this procedure!
So now he heals.....waiting for the swelling to go down....and the last of the stitches to be removed.
Then on to NEW teeth....to be made and fitted....another series, but the end result will give him something to SMILE about!
Chemo has been postponed till the end of the month...BREAK TIME! Finishing up just before Christmas....So here we are still hanging on....still moving forward....
Makes you stop and think of how strong you really are!
SMILE WIDE TODAY!

Lazy week...
It has been a very lazy beginning to this week...We could not do Chemo as Michael and I both have colds....We are on the mend but they want this gone before we start....So we have been lazy...sleeping ...drinking plenty of fluid...taking cough and cold medicine...sharing the love of a cold...
Again, today I would like to share with you a daily news letter that I receive from Dawn at Daily Sparks....She always has insightful things to ponder....

Be real
The world will often discourage you from giving love. Give love anyway.Many times, despite your best efforts, you will not be understood. Keep giving it your best anyway.
The treasures in life are not what you get back. Those things are only shadows of life's true value.
The real treasures are what you're able to give of yourself. And as long as you give authentically, from the heart, with the best you have, it doesn't really matter what comes of it.
It's nice to be acknowledged and respected and understood. Yet even when you're not acknowledged or understood, there is still great value in doing what you know is right, what you know is best.
Smile a peaceful smile to the depth of your being. Be real, and know that all is well.
