Aye, I agree that would be better. I will probably do that when I go back to work on it. Its resting on the back 'burner' again.
Have to take my DH to the doctor this afternoon and probably back to hometown to pick up antibotics; his gums are swollen so much they are creating a problem swallowing and breathing. Yes, he is taking aspirin substitutes to reduce the swelling, but its the infection there that is causing the swelling.
Sorry, Honchey, for all your problems. Our dentist told DH not to have implanted teeth; they had problems with them too. Good luck to you; sounds like you have a good dentist. May your flight be a pleasant one. A new sewing machine? That would be nice to own another good used machine.
