Pacemaker

Congratulations, Darlyne, on a successful pacemaker implant. You make it sound so simple.  I get out

of breath so easily with very little exertion – wonder if that is what I need.

 Right now, I am trying to get accustomed to talking with my front tooth missing.  It was a crown and

had been in my mouth about 45 years so it was probably about time, but is there ever a good time for

anything like that to happen?  The dentist has glued it back twice in the past four days, while I have been

trying to make up my mind what I want to have done.   I have a singalong group here that I am in charge

of – we meet every Saturday afternoon.  My daughter was just here and I was  trying to sing to

see how I would be able to manage – not good, I’m afraid.  You don’t realize how many “s”es are in a

song like Blue Skies until you try  lisping your way through with a missing tooth.  We were both in

hysterics!  Don’t know why my computer insists on coming out with italics every so often.
