So happy to hear that you are pleased with your caring dentist, KC. Plus you are taking your meds as instructed.
Hoping that you are getting near to going home BB. And when you do get there, please tell your kids and grandkids to buzz off for at least a week and fend for themselves when it comes to dining. 
Lucky you getting some snow yesterday, Lee. We were well below below freezing but didn't get a bit of it. But some areas just north of here got clobbered with lots of snow and car crashes.
That dreaded Arthur. The more injuries we've had gives arthritis a popular place to grow, K2. No getting away from it as we grow older. Hope Art's physical therapy reduces any need for surgery.
And now for my latest installment of, "Some things I just don't understand";
A while ago one of my blood tests came back with a low count on protein. So I began drinking "Ensure" a protein drink. And it worked getting my numbers back up to normal.
The other day we got some more "Ensure", but when we got home it said that it now had caffeine in it. equivalent to a cup of coffee. Caffeine in a protein drink???
Since most people that drink protein drinks are seniors, I really don't think most seniors are looking for a caffeine buzz like teenagers with their energy drinks.
Some things I just don't understand.
