gone. Antibiotics took care of the infection. Now for the bad news- Dentist said I need periodontal work ($$$$$$$$), and he is does not accept my health plan any longer. So, I made an appointment with my former dentist who also does not accept plan, but is super good.

Classes end May 15th. I wish they were over right now. That spring break came too late in the semester, and everything has been crammed into the next two weeks. I have to stay focused if I am going to get all the paperwork done.

DS is applying for Graduate School. If accepted he also gets a good position. He's been working on this application for two months now. It will be handed in tomorrow. Please keep him in your prayers.

Many blessings to all. Off to read today's posts.

Hope, I hadn't read about your tooth. Dental problems are no fun. Hope your DS gets into graduate school.--Pat

Hope, sorry to hear about the periodontal situation. I have to be really careful myself, as evidently the tendency to have that trouble is hereditary. My mother had problems at about this age, so I am always waiting for the dentist to give me some bad news. And it means, as you so eloquently put it, $$$$$$$!! What is your DS's field of study? Best of luck to him! Glad your toothache is a thing of the past! Seren

Your son in on my prayer list now.

I'm glad your toothache has subsided and do hope you don't have to sell the ranch to get it fixed (lol). I figure each time I have dental work done, I'm putting the dentist's kids through college.

Do you do school work during the summer?

Hope,glad to hear that the antibiotics did what they were suppose to do. I have to go to the dentist Thurs. to get started on getting a crown on the tooth that the side broke off of last week. So much fun! We can commiserate together here.

Seren- DS' field is Media Studies. He is applying for an MFA in Cinema Writing and Directing. This is a highly competitive field. To continue teaching at the college level he needs this additional degree. Thanks for you good wishes.

Glad to hear those antibiotics did the trick, Hope...sorry to hear you'll be needing some of that costly periodontal work though!

Your DS is included in my prayers, Hope; as is your whole family.
