[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 604726, member: 84"] Ditto Witz on the dentist and heart procedures, she's right. As for the cancer? Uh, no. I refuse to be treated as well. I have good sound reasons that have nothing to do with your reasons but the result is the same. I've not learned anything in the past 30 some years to change my mind. There are many in the medical community that share my opinion for the same reasons. I'll just leave it at that. My kids know and agree, that is all that matters. They have different opinions due to having children to raise.....but even they have limits. I've had 2 paps in my life and never had a mammogram. I have no intention of changing that. A risk I'm willing to take as there would be no treatment anyway. Teeth or not, you can eat better than chinese dumplings and whoppers. I managed a well rounded diet without dentures while waiting on the gums to heal/get ready to be fitted properly.......and then of course while I was getting used to them.

I am thrilled you are moving more than you thought you were, that is wonderful. :) But do what I said when sitting or laying in bed when awake. If you don't use it, you lose it......then it is 100 times harder to regain it if you can later. And I know a certain little munchkin is tiring you out but I bet she's got you moving more than you have in quite a while.......and that is just what you need, motivation to move. lol medication wise, yup you likely need most of them or you wouldn't be taking them.
