Aging
After you turn 30, things start to gradually break down.I took on the daunting task of bathing all long haired 70 lbs of Lucy.
It took me about 45 minutes and when I finally let her bolt of the the tub, I could not lean up!! It was one of those sitcom moments of 'my back just gave out'. Instead of bending at the knees I leaned over the entire time. It took me a few minutes to become upright and my back is still quite tender. Yes, I am aging!
let me put a little more whine w/ this cheese, I must be grinding my teeth again at night b/c the left side of my jaw up to my temple hurts each time I bite down. Years ago a dentist told me I had a little bit of tmj and that I grind my teeth terribly, in fact my two upper molars are disappearing. He offered a mouth guard at several hundred dollars and I declined. I also have a terrible gag reflex, so I know I couldn't tolerate that in my mouth all night. As far as the tmj goes, it hardly bothers me, except every now and then, like now, and my jaw pops when I eat something like a bagel or really crunchy cereal.
My brother is one of the more grouchy people when he wakes up and I was eating some crunchy cereal at the table, on vacation in fla mind you, and my jaw going pop pop pop w/ each chew and he screamed at me 'eat your cereal more quietly or don't eat at all'. That's probably been the worst I've dealt with from my tmj.
