I love your banner! it's soooooooooooooo cute!

Hi Vanessa,
Today was rough. My mom was not brushing her teeth at all when she was living by herself, and as a consequence her teeth are decaying and breaking off. Her dentist said that this is common among people with dementia, but it is still sad to see her with a toothache, especially since she hadn't had to lose any teeth since February. So we took her to the dentist today and sure enough another needs to be pulled and another has broken off just above the root, though it does not hurt her yet. So we set up an appointment with the oral surgeon, but she threw a fit and refused to go. Poor thing she is so afraid that she won't be able to chew if the dentist extracts another tooth... God is teaching me to use a soft/tender voice when talking to my mom (and to my kids). So outwardly I was calm but inwardly I was really stressed. Thanks for listening...
Blessings, Linda

Hello Linda! You're welcome! How are things going with your mom? It helps to know someone else experience the same. Me and my sister had to sent some papers in which we explained the situation. Yesterday we received the news our mom is going to get help and will get full support. I'm doing some brain training with my mom on a children's computer. It helps a bit. Not that much but still a bit.

You are welcome and I'm glad to have you as a friend

Thanks for your reply. It helps a lot.
