Toothless Wonder

Gee, I sure am getting old. The other night as we were getting ready for bed, I plonked down onto the bed and was about to doze off when I suddenly found something in my mouth. I chewed on it coz I thought it was food. Eventually, Mommie heard me chewing something and investigated. She got a hard object from my mouth. It took them a while to figure out that it was a tooth. She opened my mouth to check inside and found that my back molar on the bottom was gone. So that was what it was. Sigh! My tooth fell out just like that. I guess I should be happy it did not hurt or bleed or anything. But what if my other teeth fall out too? I don't want to be a toothless wonder.

To make me feel better, they took me out to an Asian strip mall for Chinese New Year. We sat outside a restaurant and watched the festivities. There were lots of people at the strip mall and there was a dragon dance going on. Mommie was planning on taking my picture with the dragon but they started lighting firecrackers. I was so scared at the sound, I jumped right out of my chair. It sounded like guns firing every which way. Mommie picked me up and took me around the corner. She did not know there were gonna be fireworks and kept apologizing for scaring me. After a bit, I calmed down and we proceeded to have lunch. She gave me some of her bread so I think that made it all worthwhile. Teehee!

Also my latest bloodwork from a couple of weeks ago has my PCV at 45 and my platelets at 43K. So still pretty much the same for the past few bloodtests. My platelet count is low coz the doc said they are clumped but since I am not showing any symptoms she said it should be ok not to redo the test. My liver enzymes are still elevated. I am drinking and peeing much more but she said nothing in my bloodwork explains it. I am just so thirsty all the time. I am going through my peepad supply pretty fast these days.
