MACARONI!!

Eat macaroni yall! If you are new to dentures and in the phase where you cannot chew with them and you’re not satisfied this is the best! My tops are fine so I take out bottoms and I chew chew chew (nothing is happening) but it feels so great my brain tells me I’m finally eating. All kinds too. I just pretend chew and swallow.

Sick of house hunter shows!

I’m not interested in this at all! I really miss RESTORED! It was hands down the best show! I learned something each episode and it was all about resorting homes not covering up everything with paint. I just really miss good home makeover shows. I’m caught up. Lime I have rewatched everything what is happening with this network? How are there not any shows with new episodes except crashers. I absolutely don’t count Ugliest house in America because screw that show I only watch last episode of each season with the makeover.

Help! What happened?

Ok I made sandwich bread. This isn’t the first time I have made it but the first time this happened. The home starts about 2” from both ends then runs though it. I rolled it up and put in loaf pan as I always have. What happened and how do I avoid this?

EDIT: I made two loaves. On this loaf I had a tad more milk in this one and over all the dough looked better however could that have been issue?

Starving!

I’m not at all a shake and smoothie person. I dont want sweets I want food! I decided I was gonna make Mac n cheese a good one! Yesterday was day 4 but by the time I got home with ingredients I decided it was too soon and I didn’t want to waste it and would wait until today or tmrw. So far been up a couple hours and it’s not looking good for it tonight. I would say I have had about 4 cups of soup and a cup of mashed taters in 4 days. I was thinking maybe a quiche and just not eating the crust. My poor husband is starving himself with me not because he can’t cook he’s just exhausted from work and is like I’m fat I will do this with you but it’s driving me nuts to not feed him so I think maybe a quiche would work. Idk. Any suggestions yall? Like food not drinks or soup. I can sit here with them in and feel fine I have such high hopes then I tried to eat one soggy fry and it was a joke! 😭

My mind is blown!

Ok yall! I got full mouth extractions and uppers and lowers today! They are beautiful! The most shocking thing is how well I am already speaking! Like my family and friends can’t tell a difference! I also had only Novocain no gas or anything. That was also shocking to me. Was a breeze! The shots weren’t bad at all! I’m so glad I didn’t pay thousands more to be put under! I hope the rest of my journey goes as well as it is going so far! I will take a better picture later and show before and after since I’m still bleeding so much! Also I went to Aspen. My location has wonderful reviews and so far I agree!

What items do I need to go ahead and buy?

I am curious what items yall would suggest I go ahead and get? Like must have’s and your favorite products. Do I need to get some kind of case to let them soak in or just a cup is fine? What cleaning things? I want to be ready!

Help! Getting full mouth extractions but unsure will be able to lay for it!

I have an appointment on 7/29/26 to get a full mouth extraction. Gone through the process of getting FMLA for two weeks, bill paid and everything. Yesterday I fell down my basement stairs and either very badly bruised or broke my tailbone. This apparently takes weeks to months to heal. I currently cannot lay on my back. The most I can stand it so far is 10min. I’m hoping for a drastic change but trying to gauge how long this procedure will take so I can decide if I just need to cancel for now. I’m beyond devastated that this happened right before this long awaited procedure.

In US going to Aspen and was told they only give Tylenol 3.

So I am freaking out and scared to death! Ever since opioid crisis in my area the dentists are like NO PAIN MEDS. This is a choice because I do have a dentist that I go to for extractions when I’m desperate and he has no problem giving pain meds. I would not go to him for dentures though. However when I had my apt with Aspen they said they only give Tylenol 3! This is freaking me out! I cannot imagine having all my teeth pulled at once and them being like walk it off. Can anyone tell me if you think this is inanity or is it normal and I need to not worry? Please be brutally honest with me because I need to be prepared.

How long should I take off work?

I am just to the phase where I go back for impressions and to set my extraction appointment. I work in a call center so I talk for a living. I will be getting g temporary dentures immediately. I only have enough time to take off one week of work however as long as the dentist will fill out the FMLA papers I can take off without pay and not lose my job. I have no idea how long I will be in pain or how long it’s going to take me to be able to speak for 10 hours straight. I know it’s different for everyone but can I get some opinions on how long I should be prepared to take off work. Also did anyone have issues with their dentist filling out the paper work for FMLA? Thank you!
