I'm Almost Smiling

Today was my trip to Milwaukee to get my dentures. This is a two hour trip, so round trip plus the office visit was around five hours.
Usually I'm in the chair for no more than fifteen minutes tops. Not today. Today took a bit longer as the bottom partial didn't fit right and they tried to get it to fit by working with my bottom teeth and the partial. The verdict - it's going back to the lab. I have another appointment in two weeks to get them, and I hope they fit. Yes, I'm disappointed that I don't have both plates, but I also want them to fit right.
Some of you wanted to know what my first meal would be. Seeing I only have the upper plate, and the fact I need to get used to it, I can tell you it wasn't steak or corn on the cob, or an apple either. It was a McDonald's double cheeseburger as we stopped shortly after we left the office and made our way home.
I got home by 5:30, plugged in my phone to get it charged as I ran out of battery on the way home, and was right out the door for Writer's Guild.
It was a good meeting, and maybe one of these times I will actually get to read what I've written. I'm looking for feedback on one of my stories I've written. It's a science fiction novel, not finished yet, but getting there. As with everything else I have in the works, it has a long ways to go before it's finished.
So that was my day. How was your day?
Thanks for reading.

Sometimes it takes a few visits to get them just right. My son has an upper partial that he recently had fitted and was sent home with about 3 weeks ago. Now he needs an adjustment to them. He isn't happy, but it is necessary.

@just4him I know you are disappointed.But then it is better this way than getting both of them fitted and going back to correct
the bottom partial.Did you like the cheeseburger?

It was a long day, but not a tiring one. I had computer issues last night.

@Jessicalynnt I've heard the horror stories about dentures that don't fit.

Good luck with the poetry. I've been trying to write a poem, but when there's nothing there, I can't do it, and there's nothing there no matter how hard I try to get it to work.

I know you're right. After having the upper plate for a day now, I'm going to be asking him questions about the upper plate. The teeth are so small, I can't even see them when I smile. I know my own teeth we longer than those are. As for Truduy - we're like two peas in a pod. She's just as crazy as I am, or I'm as crazy as she is. I know the world isn't ready for two of us, but hey, she's great!

I'm sorry you have to wait longer but at least it's only for a couple weeks and not months!
