New Eyes And Teeth


     Okay, I think I told y'all about my cataract surgery on both eyes. After insurance picked up their part I paid some $2,000 out of my pocket.
     Back around my birthday, September 10, I noticed one of my lower incisors (front teeth) was getting wobbly. My dentist said the problem wasn't my teeth but bone loss in my mandible (lower jaw bone). So, One loose tooth led to removal and replacement of 4 and crowning of 2 (1 on either side to hold the new 4 in place). She sold me a temporary set for $300.00 and I'll go in November 6 to get my permanent choppers glued in.
     SO this year I've spent $2000 to be able to see and before the year is out I'll spend another $4000 to be able to eat like I should.
     It ain't easy getting old and it DAMN sure ain't cheap!
