Thanks a lot for sharing your info, 2old. Will enquire whether (& how much) my dental plan covers the cost of a partial plate.

18 holes of golf and back home by 10:30 a.m. Got caught up on the Walz pick for VP by Harris. Lunch. Began working on my walk behind lawn mower. Minor repair needed. Next door neighbor showed up. In his 90's and a widower. His riding lawn mower quit. Was visiting about it and he had just started mowing his yard when it quit. Repair folks to pick it up early afternoon. Said he usually mows his and the lady's next door to him. She is an Army wife. Husband deployed. 5 year old at home. I could see where he had made 1 round of his yard and hers.
Fired up my rider and mowed both of their yards. Then mowed our back yard. Trimmed hedges. Finished the repair on my walk behind mower. Was 2:30 p.m. My front and side yard will wait until tomorrow 'cause I'm worn out.
At least the heat isn't as bad today. Was in triple digits, yesterday. 81 degrees now. Perfect day. Lots done for an old man getting close to 78 yrs old. Life is good....

You are amazing. I was tired just reading your post and felt a little guilty, but I got over it. Lol.
I hope you enjoyed the rest of your day.

I'm off to the dentist this afternoon for what I hope is the last tooth that needs work...don't know yet if it will be a filling or an extraction. I think I may opt to eventually get a partial plate on the bottom.

It turned out that two teeth required fillings...so no extractions today. Whew! Looks like I will need a partial plate at some point, just for the bottom...I still have sufficient teeth in good shape on the upper jaw. The partial plates can be very expensive, so this could be somewhat tricky for me, budget-wise. I have to look into what percent my Dental Plan will cover before I make any definite plans.
So far this summer, I've had one upper tooth removed on left side, three lower teeth removed (1 on left side, 1 near centre, and one far right). Besides all those, I had 4 bottom centre teeth smoothed and recapped.
I have renamed this summer (The Summer Of The Dentist)!

(Still don't know why I have to pay full cleaning cost when I have less than half the teeth most folks do!!) :>) He will probably try to talk me into a partial for the lower right. Getting along fine, now, so probably won't do anything at this time. I've become one of the examples of why some of us old folks are called "gummers"!!!!!
