Hi Lovelies,

I'm going to get my teeth here in a little while. After they get them in and do adjustments,  I'll be returning an hour or so later to be interviewed by a local news station! They are doing specials for sweeps week and this one is about my dentist. She's the only one in the area who does neuromuscular dentistry and also the facelift dentures. They'll be talking to me about both! So nervous about both the dentures and the interview!!!  Don't want to puke or get a kidney stone.... =) Prayers much appreciated!!

Peace and Blessings,

~Andrea

You kiddin Me??

Miss thang, you got this! You are one of the most well-spoken women I know.

If the opportunity presents itself, as ccourt suggested, mention SS & the wonderfully, supportive
Sjogren's Support Group here in Pittsburgh! I know you have been too sick to get to the group
yet...but trust me on this (we are all wonderfully supportive)  ;D I know you know this.

Just let me know what time so I don't miss you. (KDKA right).

Great day!!!! Love my teeth!!!! The interview went so well!! Easy peasy nice nice and cheesy! =) I did do a prednisone boost today, I was feeling so rough.  So of course, everything's feeling great right now.

so I DID get SjS in there, at least twice. ;) Didn't get SIP in there Sjodry, sorry girl! The entire office staff, camera man amd the news caster were crying!!! I started to cry amd that's when they did.  They have shots with me without the dentures.

It's going to air either next Thursday,  or the following Monday. I will have a link to it so I can post it! They're going to be showing promos before though,  so news caster said "You're probably going to get a lot of people telling you that they saw you on T.V. even before it airs." Oh my!!

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT!! I FELT YOUR PRAYERS!!!

Peace and blessings,

~Andrea

P.S. My dentist  gave me $500.00 today for letting me post before and after pics on her website!!!!  Also gave me a $25.00 gift card to Panera for today! "After" Pics will be taken next month once my muscles begin to shape around the dentures.
