Well, that sounds pretty good to me!
I'm pretty sure- but not 100%- that cottage cheese, ricotta, and yogurt don't have vitamin A palmitate added. Also, you can take up to 500 mg/ day of calcium -based antacids (Tums or equivalent) w/o causing excessive calcium in your bloodstream.
I used to think I got away with not drinking milk or eating much dairy bc I had a lot of magnesium in my diet (magnesium is calcium-spari g,). Not anymore! Don't wait until you get to be an old fart like me before taking positive steps for bone health. You're young enough to make a difference so it's a good time to start.

Sorry to hear that, Brenda. I imagine even though I got 13 out at one time and it was super quick and easy and nearly painless, a lot of that had to do with much of the jawbone missing. Yours were probably packed in there a lot tighter than mine were.
Are those your first removed teeth? I'm just wondering because if they are know that you'll get used to not having them in there fairly quickly and down the line you won't even really give it any thought anymore.
BRENDA: That was one thing the dentist told me after the x-rays were done was that my jawbones are very healthy.
No, this is a second set that had to be pulled. I know the gums will heal in time. Just have to be careful for a bit. I've got a list of instructions and the antibiotics. So, I'm fairly certain I'll be okay.
SIGNY Well, I hope these are the last teeth t be extracted. It seems kind of strange that your jawbones are healthy but your teeth broke. So, any idea what might have caused the damage? I would hope that whatever happened you could avoid in the future.
BRENDA: Well, I think most of the damage happened when I was looking after my mum when she was dying. I let a lot of stuff for me slide when I was doing that. I wasn't eating properly or sleeping. I was so stressed out that I didn't realize I was experiencing seizures again which is why a few months after she died and the neurologist ran an EEG, they found them again after I had been clear for around 5 years.
Think I was also grinding my teeth when I was getting any sleep. So between that and not looking after them, it happened.
And nope not finished just finished for now. Still two more to come out in the front and couple of broke ones on the left. Then I see about a partial plate for the top.
Oh, I know the feeling. There were a few years there when our daughter was disappearing mentally, my MIL (who lived with us) was dying (she died at home w/ me at her bedside) and hubby was DXd at a young age with prostrate cancer. I was at my wit's end and not taking care of myself at all.
Anyway AFA teeth grinding, if you think you might still be, there are inserts you can use to cushion your teeth. Do you have enough calcium and vitamin D in your diet? I haven't drunk milk since I was maybe 6, but I just started drinking milk again bc of osteoporosis. I know you avoid milk but you should try to get calcium in your diet somehow. Humans can tolerate all kinds of malnutrition when young bc all of our conservation mechanisms are working full time, but once we get past reproduction years nature doesn't care what happens to us any more so we better take care of ourselves!

Yeah, I was my mum's main care giver. By the time she died, I was wrung out. I almost yelled at one of the nurses one day and he just looked at me and said, "This isn't like you." I told him I was tired and wore out and that's when they decided to get her into hospice as fast as possible but she didn't live that long.
I think at times I might be and have been looking at cushions you can use at night in your mouth. Night guards they are called, I think. I don't drink milk anymore because of that additive that is in it. I take a vitamin D supplement every day. I also eat a lot of broccoli and brussel sprouts for calcium.
I am always on the look out for other foods with calcium in them. I eat more cheese now than I use to for the calcium.
How long was your mom ill? My MIL died of breast cancer. She was treated and did ok for 4 1/2 years (except she developed heart failure) but by then it had metastisized to her bones and brain, so she was in hospice - at home- for about six months b4 she passed away. Not a good way to go.

The zucchini have pooped out as they seem to do every late summer, but I e been harvesting fresh tomatoes, peppers, and okra and at some point will need to pick watermelon and pull beets.
It's still 100F and quite humid, we had a few rain spatters this AM. Tomorrow it's still predicted to be 100F or so, but a 15 degree cool down on Saturday with some unseasonal rain, and low to mid 80s in the 10-day. It'll be quite a relief!

Finished all of the electric except for picking out a light for outside the door and installing it.
Got a lot of drywall up and mudded too after finishing the insulation. I don't ever have to look at those bare dirty studs again.
I even tarred the area I was working on above the slab behind the porch before he got here.
I'm hoping that fixing my breaks on my car won't be a huge time sink. I had my friend's dad sit in the car and pump the breaks while I was down below looking and it looks like it's spraying right from under the driver's seat.
So I don't think it's the Master Break Cylinder, which is good for the wallet, but a break line is actually a lot harder to replace (with the tools at my disposal). I'm pretty sure it's the rear driver's side line I need to replace. Hope to figure that out for sure before my Dad comes tomorrow so we can go pick it up on the way to the grocery store for a few things. If not, my Aunt said she'd be happy to take me when she and my grandma stop by this weekend (for sure this time!).

That was good as no one got really high scores. Top score was over 6,000 points and so I think 2nd was around 4,000points. My 3rd and I had over 2,000 points. There were enough of us for a booby prize and the lady who gave me my winnings got it.
I'll take a look at the yogurt situation when I am out tomorrow. Got to do some grocery shopping. I do try my level best to stay on top of things now, SIG.

Uggggh....
I don't think I've got the time and or desire to fix the brake issue on my own. I certainly don't have the tools.
Why couldn't it have been the Master Cylinder? That $150 part would have been in and out with the brakes bled in 15 minutes without me having to jack up the car. A dumb $45 brake line is probably going to cost me $300+ and whatever a tow costs.
Dammit.
Oh well. It's been a good week otherwise, and the fact that my radiator fan problem last weekend probably saved my life by keeping me from driving very far (and fast) with this problem isn't something I'm going to forget any time soon.
