I'm going to laze around today, although I did go to the farmers market about an hour ago.
It occurred to me while driving to the market, that I have vision problems, can't hear some sounds as well as I used to, am trying to gain weight and get healthy, and now am facing another surgery. I should be feeling like crap because everything is against me. For some reason I don't think I've ever been happier! Of course I hope I will have a quick and easy recovery, but I can deal with whatever happens. This is so unlike the old me who needed to be in complete control of my life. Kinda scary, if you ask me.
I am very pleased with my dentist and the work he is doing and is planning. Yes, it is much more expensive than if I used a dentist in Los Algodones, which is about 650 miles from where I live. I sure don't feel like driving that far, finding a dentist and a place to stay while undergoing treatment, especially at a time when the heat is going to be a factor in the southwest. It's one thing if you are a snowbird living in an RV and in the vicinity to begin with, but I think it would be more than I could deal with just to make the trip right now. And as I've mentioned, I have an incredibly wonderful dentist about 2 miles away.
Another thing I would like to say is that I love my current header picture, and it makes me feel good every time I see it. That was such a magical moment for me, seeing all those
bison so close up. When I finally get to a place when I can take another scenic picture, I will do it. I'm not sure why, maybe it's the Mac I use, but I have such a problem sizing the header picture and am not motivated to change it as often as some do.
I admit to watching a lot more TV since the Malaysian plane disappeared. I have the TV on now and just saw a commercial featuring the Aflac duck! It isn't as clever as the old commercials, but I'm glad to see the duck again anyway.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.
- Post Op
Jeannie took me to my post op this morning, and my mood has been swinging wildly for the last few days anyway, nearly driving me crazy today. I've gone through periods of wanting to just sit and cry, as well as those of just plain depression. ...
- Not Quite Finished
Not finished with dental work, that is. I still need a cleaning, and that has been scheduled for May 15. It's probably what I dread most, all that scraping just drives me crazy but it needs to be done. The dentist called me yesterday to...
- More Dental Work
Today I went in for what I thought would be a filling and an extraction, but the dentist wanted to try to save the tooth rather than pull it, and I readily agreed. It is a lot more expensive that way, and will require a root canal. Today he...
- A Run Of Good Luck
I consider myself having some very good luck the past two days, highlighted by my visit to the dentist. I thought I might have some pain when the novocaine wore off but I didn't. About the time I went to bed I had a little discomfort at...
- Catching Up
My trip is finally catching up with me and I am really tired. This morning I cleaned up the kitchen and then made a big pot of minestrone-style vegetable soup, but this afternoon I sat down with a glass of wine to look at a magazine and fell asleep...
