    Your dentist will be informed regarding you thr they all require antibiotics if any drilling is done. Usually 1000mg. Amoxicillin 2 hours before dental treatment. Make sure your GP give a RX for the year and some dentists have them on hand just in this type of case.

    hi joyce, 

    Checking in with you ... did you go and how was it? 

    My dentist was very aware about the new hip and I was give an anti-biotic an hour before treatment - He prefers it that way to make sure his patients took the AB pill ...

    You are NOT weak darling  -  I am not sure if carrying groceries to 2nd floor is all that great -make sure that it is not too heavy , okay - I know that you might not have a choice but if you do, have someone else bring up your groceries ---

    remember that you had major invasive surgery and everything is still so fragile -

    you say that you are not taking care of your self - what do you mean 

    Please come back here okay ---- you are not alone - 

    big warm hug

    renee
