Implants

Mark you calendars. March 24th at 8:00 AM I will be getting 2 implants.

I've always hated going to the dentist. However, in the past 2 months I have been to the dentist 5 times. Over the next 4-6 months, I will go about 6 more times. Why? Because I still have two baby teeth. One of the baby teeth has started decomposing from the inside out. The other, has no roots left and it's only a matter of time before it falls out. How does this get fixed? Implants.

On March 24th at 8:00 AM I will be put under. My baby teeth will be pulled, I will have 2 possible bone grafts, and two implants will be put in. I will then have holes in my mouth for 4-6 months. After the 4-6 month "healing" period I will have crowns attached to the implants. This is not my idea of fun.

Although I am not looking forward to this one bit, I must say I am grateful there are procedures for situations like this. I am grateful for the little dental insurance I do have. And finally, I am grateful these teeth are in the back of my mouth and hopefully it won't be too noticeable to others.

Sunday Afternoons

With the new year church has been moved from 1:00 to 9:00. It's great. I come home, eat dinner, take my nap, wake up and I still have more of the day left than I did before with 1:00 church. The past two Sundays I've been filling the extra time with cake decorating projects. I'm not sure how long this will last, but here are my two creations.

1 - Snowman Village

I stole this idea from one of Wendy's friends who made this for her on her birthday. I made it for my sister-in-law Cherilyn last week for her birthday.

2 - Superbowl Sunday

We didn't have a Superbowl party, nor really watch it (it's actually going on right now) but I felt like making a Superbowl cake. It was my first attempt ever at really decorating a cake more than just tossing sprinkles on it.
