Dora where were you!

Last Monday I had to go to the dentist to have a filling done and a tooth pulled. That meant I had to make a trip to the denturist to have my partial changed, no big deal, except for the cost!

No big deal, I said, no big deal? I sound like Bob the Tomato from Vegetale. Well, read on:

Wednesday after work Ted wanted to go eat at Perkins, all I could think of, was that big taco salad they have on the menu. Well, I should have taken "Dora The Explorer" with me to go over the menu. "Can you tell which item Trudy can eat? Salad in a crust? Nooooooo!". Well Trudy ordered it, forgetting the fact that my partial is at the denturist, and a wound in my mouth. As the order came, I looked at it and thought, oh my goodness!

It took me 15 min to eat 5%, while Ted was gobbling down his dinner. The only thing I could do was ask them to wrap it up for me to take it home. Coming home I decided I'd better continue with my meal. I opened up the box, well, it looked like they sat on it! Then again, how else could they wrap up one of those huge shells filled to the top with everything from olives to beans, cheese, carrots and some other crunchy stuff that I could not eat.

Another big mistake for which I could have used Dora, you never eat smelly food when you have an appointment with the denturist and the doctor. I did eat a lot of mints and long lasting gum and hoped for the best!

So, Dora where were you when I needed you !

You have to have kids or grandchildren in order to appreciate "Bob the Tomato" and "Dora the Explorer", as that is what you have to watch with them on the TV.

Love Trudy
