Dental Surgery And Instant Weight Loss

I recently told my dental surgeon that he could be part of a weight loss plan. Without even trying I have lost nearly 10 pounds from my recent dental surgery. It is not a case of willpower, but when your mouth hurts, you don't feel like eating. I am happy to lose the weight and hope to keep it off.

Next week the stitches come out. Perhaps my appetite will return , but then I need discipline. I guess there are plusses and minuses to many things in life. Today was a medical day and overall this has been a medical week. We seniors keep the doctors in business.

Fancy Nancy Says: Take care of your health. You have only one body. Help it to work for you.

New Group Forms in Naples

I just decided to from a Newsgroup in Naples. I let a new couples wing of a women's group know about my idea. Already I have a tremendous response. I will have to hire cour clubhouse for the first meeting. I may form two groups not one. Time will tell. I wanted to meet some new couples in Naples. This will do it.

My teeth are getting better. The best part is weight loss and saving the teeth. A very painful procedure. Happy Holidays from Fancy Nancy

Fancy Nancy is Still Healing

Well, I did not have a baby, but the pain from the surgery produced three teeth. I am still swollen and very sore. I have been laying low, and watching lots of movies. Some of the movies have been losers.

Marty has been most helpful and he has taken me on my errands since I did not feel that well to drive . Hopefully, this will improve.

Happy New Year to family and friends. Before we know it the New Year will be 5, 7???. One person said at a service that the Chinese New Year was only in the 4,xxx. That meant that there was 1000 years with no Chinese food.

Keep in touch. Fancy Nancy. I need the tooth fairy to arrive.

Ouch! Just Had Dental Surgery - Miracles Do Happen

Yesterday I had gum surgery and I was amazed that my dentist , Dr. Peiser was able to save three of my teeth that all others felt they should be pulled. The surgery was long and painful, but it is worth it if I now can still have the use of these three teeth.

My surgeon is a great guy and he called two times to see if I was okay. Today I felt better than yesterday, but I hope tomorrow I will feel even better. One day at a time. I hate all the dental work , but I still have my teeth. They keep me very busy trying to save them.

Take care of your teeth. It pays to pay attention before you have more serious problems.

Fancy Nancy Says" Ouch!

An Interview, A Fun Lunch and A Movie

Today I took a job interview, even though I will be leaving in Nov. for Florida. I took the interview to learn about the teaching position, and said if they need a sub while I am here, I was interested. One never knows if this will lead to anything. In any case I like taking interviews.

Next a lovely lunch with my wonderful daughter. She is enjoying her new band called " In Bed By Ten". She and her husband have lots of fun playing ukeleles. They have wonderful adventures with their new hobby.

Tomorrow is dental surgery. I will be glad when it is over. I hope the results work. My teeth have always required lots of work. I have put lots of time, money, and effort to retain them. Time will tell.

Fancy Nancy Says: Take care of your body, you only have one.

Women and Finance

The library just hired me to do a seminar and Women and Finance. I have done this program in Florida and I enjoy talking with the women who attend. In Florida I even got the bank to give the women a free dinner. We will see what kind of a turnout we get at the local library.

My topics include : Avoiding fraud and scams, long-term health issues, and how to hold onto your money.

These topics do not always have easy answers. I have invited a bank rep and an insurance rep to attend. Time will tell who shows up. In any case it is fun to run new programs.

Fancy Nancy Enjoys a New Challenge!

Silver Sneakers Program at the Y

I just wrote an article for the YMCA about their Silver Sneakers program . They teach the program three times a week and the program includes the use of balls, weights , bands and a chair . I enjoyed writing the article since I learned a lot of new information and I took photos of the class.

I hope that the Y will let me do some more writing. Who knows , I could be on to a new career.


Fancy Nancy Says: Opportunity could be just around the corner. Don't miss it!

Fall is Arriving

School has started and I went to a class at URI. I was amazed that there must be at least 750 students in a huge hall with one professor. The group meets once a week with a teaching assistant. I have never sat in on such a huge class. Evidently this is not unique at URI. I guess it is a way to save the school money.

I have always enjoyed teaching smaller classes. That way you get to know the students.

Fancy Nancy Says: Interacting with the student is the way you get to know them. I wonder how a teacher can do it with a huge class???

A Wonderful Weekend with Family and Friends

We had a great weekend with family and friends. It is so nice to connect with those you love. Today it rained all day, but I had fun at line dancing, the afternoon movie at the library, and a writing class.

I will do some writing and marketing for the Y. Hope they will like what I write. The Y has some great programs. People need to know more about them.

Fancy Nancy Says: Marketing is the key to sales and enrollment.

Need Instructions on How to Write Comments

I need instructions on how to include comments from folks on my blog. Love to hear from you and many have said they don't know how to do the comments. I need your help. Can you send me the proper instructions and I will share them with my readers. Thanks in advance for your help. I am not sure the proper directions.

We had a nice surprise weekend with my family and friends. My amazing grandson played bridge with us. He rememebers all the cards and I predict he will some day be a Master bridge player. He is only in the 5th grade, but he knows more than most about the game , and he loves playing.

Fancy Nancy Says: Enjoy your family as often as you can. We loved having time with family.

Time to Book Medical Appointments

Every year Sept. and Oct. includes medical appointments before we leave for Florida. Thank goodness Marty got a good report from his doctor. Now it is time to think about what I have to do for my teeth.

It seems that I am never done with the dentist. I have put off work this summer since there were too many other things that took prioity. Now , I will focus on what needs to be done.

We have nice company in from Maryland. It is also good to reconnect with friends.

Fancy Nancy Says: Keep in touch and reconnect whenever you can. Time goes very quickly.
