Hi peeps - I am feeling a lot better today - I had my arm dressed yesterday and again - less bandages - I have more movement in my elbow.
My daughter rang today - I am not thrilled about the conversation - I asked her why I should be in an old age home - she replied that I had scalded myself and that I say strange things she doesn't understand -
I told her that was her interpretation - she was entitled to it
And I told her that old age home is not on - the line has been set in concrete and that's the end of the conversation - let's change the subject.
She hung up on me.
After a short spell she rang back and said her battery at run out - that may or may not be true - the conversation staggered along until she told me I was slurring my words - yes - I was - I told her then I had broken a tooth teeth holding my lower partial and need a dental implant and I didn't have my bottom partial in - and - and-and-and - all the slurred speech she has be blaming on my medication has been due to this issue with the lower partial causing sores in my mouth - I have been leaving it out - no doubt she thinks these "strange things" have been indicative of a mental deterioration - the problem is all in her mind and in her court.
Not my problem - as much as dental work scares me I will have the implant though I have to have an appointment with an oral surgeon and naturally my bones need to be okay or it. My daughter insists my dentist can answer this - it is a conversation I have already had with my dentist. A lot of my teeth broke because of a bad bite, big fillings and tooth-grinding. My lower jaw will not hold a denture without that tooth - and I do have a wisdom tooth as an anchor.
I am tired of my daughter with her simplistic answers to problems I am working out - I have had enough - I love and respect her and I have let her live her live without interference - I don't want to lose her but she is losing me.
I am grieving
