Old Age Day by Day November 7, 2012

We stayed up late last night to watch the election returns.  We're relieved and happy Obama won.  Now comes the hard part, as everyone is saying.  I'm really hoping the two parties find a way to cooperate for the good of the country.  We'll see.

I spent two hours at the dentist getting a new crown, and managed to bite my tongue badly, so it is swollen and painful.  The site of the crown was throbbing yesterday, but is fine today.  Now I've got to manage to not have the temporary crown fall off for two weeks.  I'm chewing with my left side, which is doubly important since the tongue on the right side is sore.  I realize that really was two hours of surgery, with the dentist and tech working hard and me having to try to remain calm.  Not pleasant, but necessary.  You can see why "Marathon Man" is a genuine horror film.  Luckily, my new dentist is very sweet and careful and kind.  No torture.

Today my granddaughter and I are heading to a bookstore when I pick her up.  I promised last week.  I also have two new board games to play.  One is about fairy tales and the other about finding puppies.  Do I know my granddaughter, or what?!
