Yikes! My concern is how they would fit. And getting them adjusted. Let me know what you decide. While going through Post Vitreous Detachment Syndrome this year (twice - yay, so glad that's over and done with!) I was so glad I've been seeing the same optometrist for the past 20+ years. He only charged me $60 and that covered the followup examination as well. But don't get me started on the dentist!! I've started going every 9 months instead of 6 and if my January checkup is good I'm going to ask to only go once a year!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-83259000577962314822017-09-22T13:57:47.468-07:002017-09-22T13:57:47.468-07:00I floss upwards of a dozen times a day.

I think it is more the Novocaine shot than the drilling which usually is painless (at least these days with high speed drills). Wayne has ordered glasses online and have had good results. You just have to get the optometrist to give you all the dimensions needed in the prescription so they can be made correctly. Some of the information isn't always included so you have to ask for it while you are getting your eyes checked. - Margy Powell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-4670998271384961402017-09-21T20:40:17.705-07:002017-09-21T20:40:17.705-07:00Here all the theaters, grocery stores, and several...Here all the theaters, grocery stores, and several retail places as well as some chain eating joints (mostly fast food) have 55 + s their discount.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-52801819211236324252017-09-21T19:44:56.063-07:002017-09-21T19:44:56.063-07:00Man colds are the worst.��������Man colds are the worst.��������Doreen & Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691938896554801537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-42810740624952844372017-09-21T14:51:45.440-07:002017-09-21T14:51:45.440-07:00That is so true.

If there is accumulated calculus, your teeth will be sensitive while cleaning. Check if you have exposed roots too. Glad that you have no new issues. I work for dentists. There are plenty of people who have bleeding gums and needs a good cleaning every 3 months. Do you know there is a connection between diabetics and gum disease?
