Monday
Today was the day…
I went to see the Orthodontist. It was my first visit back to him since the surgery and a good day to press restart. My recovery is almost half over. Another three weeks and I can chew. I was so excited about seeing him today because I presumed I was going to get my tooth back. He took my little filler tooth off on 12th June so the titanium implant could be put in. I had to wait til today to get it back but I nearly didn’t! When I went in, he was very eager to see how I was doing and how the surgery had turned out. I told him how pleased I was to get my tooth back. To my horror and shock, he said he wasn’t putting it in today. I said, “No, you are joking!” “Nope,” he said, I’m not going to redo all your wiring to get it back in.” I was mortified. “All my Skype calls,” I said, “it’s been such a long few weeks and this morning I was so excited to be going to the tooth fairy to get my tooth back!” He started examining me.
“Ga,” he said, addressing his oral hygienist, “Do you have her tooth in a box?” “Yes Dr” replied Ga, “Are you going to put it back?” The Dr carried on examining me and after a pause said, “I just can’t say no to you!” 😁😁
I don’t even mind the elastics as long as I have my gap filled.
This was from last week and the week before…
Swelling is much better. There is still a bit, mainly on my left side, but everything is so much better. Good day to press restart.
I stopped by Echo on my way home. The guys were carrying the heavy bulky internal cladding boards up the stairs…
They were storing them in on our floor ready for cladding tomorrow…
These walls will soon be covered…
There have been a lot of people at Echo and we need to be careful to sanitise after we have been there.
I read a headline that said Gauteng was struggling to be able to accurately report the daily death toll of Covid-19 which may be why yesterday’s death rate suddenly jumped.

Hebrews 3:14
We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
Stand firm!
The best is yet to come.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
