Graham before the weight loss

We’re trying very hard to get as many calories into Graham as possible. Yesterday was a decent day, with Graham eating mostly temptations and the very soft treats they make along with some melted iced cream and some milk. He had 3 meals of a mix of those things. When he drinks milk, he gets a little goatee like Colonel Sanders, and it’s so funny. His veterinary appointment is just 2 days away, and I’m less worried now because he does have an appetite and he will eat. He just won’t eat anything that needs to be chewed, which makes me think it’s his teeth that are the issue for sure. But you never know,hence the appointment. It’s just so sad to pet that skinny body.

In other news, we finally got our barn door put up on the main bathroom. Thanks to the hubby 😘 💕.

It still needs to be stained and painted, but it looks great.

This side of the door will be stained in an ebony shade, along with the cabinets in both the kitchen and the bathroom, and the other side of the door will be painted white to match the bathroom walls.

New teef, who dis?

No more black fillings!

Finally got my new lower denture today ! It’s more comfortable than expected just two weeks after extraction and one day after removing a lot of sutures.  I am about to eat my first meal with my new teeth.  Tonight, I decided to take it easy and am having beef bourguignon, with large chunks of beef and a cucumber salad .

Update after eating.

The choice of a slow cooked meal was just in case I needed to eat it without my dentures. And it was the right choice because it’s still a little too painful to chew. I’m going to give my gums until next week before I try it again, but I will be wearing the denture for several hours every day in order to get more used to it . Needless to say, the salad went uneaten..

My face is still swollen and a bit tender, but it should be back to normal in about a week or so… I hope .

Covid update

Update on the covid situation in the house. The hubby’s has tested negative for covid for several days, while I still don’t feel like I’m over all of the symptoms yet, I’m still blowing my nose frequently and my fever came back, I tested negative for the first time today. So I guess the low grade fever and the stuffy nose and the thick phlegm that I cough up is symptomatic of something else or the test didn’t work. Right now, my biggest fear is long covid, because it’s a possibility, though not a probability (I hope). I’m really not a hypochondriac, I swear! Just a likely overinformed person with nothing but time on my hands and an addiction to researching things on my tablet.

The really good news is that I must have a fairly strong immune system, because my covid symptoms were only a little worse than hubby’s . Either that or his immune system is lacking due to his smoking.
