TODAY’S TIP(s): SENIOR’S Department
Sticks & Choppers
I am considered a sr. citizen age 61. I have back problems and severe
arthritis in my knees which prevent me from being about to get my legs
up to put on my shoes. I use a metal yard stick to put in the back of my
shoe and my shoes slip on easily without getting the legs up to put the
shoes on. Hope this helps other's with similar problems.

I have full dentures (upper and lower) and use adhesive cream on the
lowers and powder adhesive on the uppers. The lowers have to be dry and
the uppers have to be wet when the adhesive is applied.
I keep a clean washcloth rolled in a plastic cup on a shelf near the
sink and use it ONLY to dry my lower plate. I prefer cream adhesive
that is a little hard to get out of the tube because it is more apt to
stay on the plate and not ooze out as soon as I put the denture back in
my mouth (gross!!). A dentist showed me how to use my finger to smooth
the cream to the ends of the denture.
I pour a little Scope mouthwash on my upper denture before using the
powder. It is a great wetting agent and the powder stays in place more
evenly, creating a better hold. Also, makes my mouth feel cleaner.
I have had dentures since I was 28 years old and am now a senior. These
tips have been learned with experience and I am happy to pass them
along.

{{{TODAY'S GRIPE}}}
I am wheelchair bound. I have several gripes!
1. Don't look past me as if I am invisible -- I see You!
2. I am not deaf or stupid -- OKAY?
3. Don't try to 'head me off at the pass' -- I don't react as quickly
as I used to!
A lot of people go out of their way to be kind and considerate and I
appreciate it SO much! People have unloaded carts for me, bagged
groceries and even unloaded them into my van! What a blessing you are
to all of us who have so much trouble.
If you are guilty of the first three, please reconsider.
Thanks for giving me a chance to 'vent'!

TODAY’S GROAN:
While rotating German sausages on the barbecue spit, the host of the
party tripped and fell into the grill, burning himself severely. When
one of his guests phoned the hospital to ask the nurse about his
condition, she replied, "He's not doing so well right now. He's taken a
turn for the wurst."
