Hey SIX. It is just one. I got a partial for the top. It fits fine and they adjusted it before I left but I was told that the minute I have a problem to call them. So far so good.
I have to leave it in all night tonight so I get used to it.

Back from my walk and the dentist. Denture in and I go back next Tuesday for a minor filling and then after that a couple more broken teeth to be removed. Then we go from there.
It was spitting when I left but fine now.
Also got samples of toothpaste but one I can't use as it is loaded with mint. If I use it I will give myself an upset stomach. No thank you. Not sure about the other one. I can't even use Polident which is something they recommend for cleaning the denture. It is all loaded with mint. So it is salt and water.

Mint give me heartburn. It didn't used to, but I no longer eat mint-flavored candy or chew mint-flavored gum or take mint-flavored antacids.

Raining again for a few days. Not complaining! Avidly measuring the inches!

Glad it worked out for you.
My full top denture was a success. It was the partial that they botched big time.

Glad you're getting rain Sigs. Wish mine would stop.
Nothing too serious so far though. Just enough to spoil the warmer temps we've finally been getting in these parts. TBH though, the wind is probably a bigger damper on the temps than the rain is.
Finished everything I needed to at Grandma's and my aunt's place today early. Had dinner with my aunt and then figured it foolish to stay overnight and leave super early in the morning just to save 10 minutes on my trip back home. Especially now that my aunt doesn't stay overnight in the house anymore.
Almost feels strange not staying overnight there at all this week. I've been staying at least 2 nights every week for I don't even remember how long.
The house is practically empty now.

The actual bill isn't out yet, but my usage has been updated for the month. I only used 62 therms this year compared to 110 last Feb-March, and it was one degree colder this year on average for the month. Looks like my Feb-March bill is going to be $58 for gas and $68 for electric.
Not too shabby. 
I'll do the math after I get the bill tomorrow, but I'd wager I'm somewhere around $150 up on the Power company for the 2022-2023 winter heating season, when they would have been up on me over $300-$400 if I kept my heat where I usually would and played their game.
Just paid for most of this years property tax increase right there, yanno... if I wasn't going to fight that one too.

I hear ya SIG. I stopped using and eating anything with mint in it years ago once I figured out it made me feel sick. I used to love "After Eights" which is a British after dinner mint that is covered in chocolate. Could eat it by the bucket loads at one time but not any more. Used to give mint flavoured candies to my mum as she loved the stuff.

Where ever they send the molds too did a good job. It was just a little rough and they smoothed it while I was there.

That's nice.
They didn't have to alter my full top even a little bit. But the bottom partial wouldn't even fit and I really tried to get it in there. I didn't want to break them by forcing anymore. I really love that office and especially my hygienist, but I was pretty miffed that they'd just send me home like that without a fitting right when they came back in. It wasn't even close to right. And then when I did comeback in she hacked away at it with a Dremmel tool about 30 times before getting it where it was even reasonably a fit. After one day of that I realized I paid almost $500 for what was basically a zero improvement over what it was before I paid for the reline because she took way too much off or something.
I had to push the 2nd shot back a few weeks because I was too busy at Grams with my aunt last week, but hopefully they get it right this time. My ideal scenario is that it comes out of the lab and just fits right and we don't need to be shaving off any material this time.
Finger's crossed.
