Do you guys even know what/who Gumby is?

| This guy. |
Why did Mark's dad call him Gumby?
Well....because Mark has been gummin' it all week since he had all his teeth pulled on Monday.
Hahahahahaha!
Jennifer!
Oh calm down! Mark laughed too.
Are you now wondering just how old my husband is? He turns 43 on Monday.
Happy almost birthday to Mark!
So he's not all that old, but he's always had bad teeth. He was born with weak tooth enamel, and then Type 1 Diabetes didn't do him any favors. He's had plenty of dental work done over the years, but since last Fall when Mark had bypass surgery, his mother has been
Mark opted to get rid of all his crappy teeth and go with dentures. The cool thing is, he'll finally have nice-looking teeth. While he's happy about that, he says there will be a new kind of self-concious feeling because his teeth will suddenly look good.
Changes. They always have their pros and cons, don't they?
But all in all, this is a Terrific and Important thing for Mark and I'm Grateful that he will have a healthier mouth!
One less thing to worry about, right?

What GOOD things happened in your world this week?
Link up or comment, and make me smile!
I was inpsired by your post and blog design for WMB so I came back to have a look around your blog.
ReplyDeleteYour life, your struggles, your positive outlook - truly inspiring.
Some great posts and I love the TGIF idea. I may be back to participate in that as well
Hahahah, gumby! So when does the toothless wonder get his brand spanking new teeth? ;)
ReplyDeleteJust a little word of warning . . . don't unexpectedly blow in Mark's ear now. My sister did that to my grandpa and he teeth came flying out and landed on my dinner plate . . . hilarious yes . . . did not make dinner seem all that tasty though. :)

YAY I linked up! Love Gumby. I am glad that you guys don't have to worry about that anymore. One less thing to worry about for his heart!
ReplyDeleteThat's a funny sign! You'll have to post a picture of Mark's makeover!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had read your post before I published my own today. I have a great/silly thing to share for TGIF. Next week.
ReplyDeleteHere is something positive for you. Reading about NaPoBloMo on your blog inspired me to give it a try. See you next week.
I'm so happy for Mark! He's got a lot to look forward to now: good health, good teeth. My dad had his teeth pulled in his late 20s purely to avoid dentist appointments! They did that back then in the stone ages...
ReplyDeleteI love Gumby! I used to have one. I wonder where he went...
ReplyDeleteYay for Mark's new teeth!
