Oh, root canals. Although I will say the last time I had one the pain relief was so immediate I didn’t care that I was at the schmancy expensive dentist. I went from the student place, who gave me a temp crown but didn’t treat the infection, to a faculty dentist who was afraid to treat the infection because I have so many antibiotic allergies, to some dude who used a computer to painlessly give me a root canal and antibiotics for one million dollars. Like I had to take out a loan.

I have signed the papers to become the executor today. I have scheduled a (supposedly) neutral inspection of the house next week. The paralegal said that my legal fees might actually be much lower than the percentage of the estate quoted on the paperwork, that is just what they could charge.( which is frankly not that much? It seems fair for them to do all this stuff for me and for me to just sign things. Like, 4%.). They also lowballed the bank accounts on the court paperwork, I think to save me fees because I might not be selling the house. So I think they are nice people.

Congratulations on passing that hurdle, Sophia, and on having nice people to help you through it

lisah, I’m sure that was part of it too.

So I think they are nice people.

The T&E attorneys I worked with were nice people. It was important to them to set things up well and take good care of the family at a horrible time.

Sophia Im glad you are dealing with nice people

I wish everyone could see my dentist. Theh are awesome and really helped mh dental anxiety.

I keep having really bizarre dreams . Last night it was....oh you are going to work for the mob/be a hitman surprise! But it's ok we only kill bad guys. I feel like my brain is trying to work through something

Mom finally got the test results back and the statin resistance didn't effect her immune system. And she is went to water aerobics today!

This is reminding me that I need to make an appointment with a dentist.

I'm annoyed -- I couldn't fit all of my recycling into my recycling bin last night, so I put some of the bigger cardboard pieces into one of those big Rubbermaid containers. The recycling pickup people took all of it, including the container. Now I need to get a new container like that, because I was using that for stuff.

I'm watching the NBA finals, because people keep talking about the Knicks. I'm realizing I don't really know much about basketball besides "get the ball in the basket."

I had two cracked fillings redone today and have a consultation about a root canal on Friday. I did fine during the appointment today, but now I have a stress headache. I hate anxiety.

Today we celebrate Dana's birthday! I hope you are being spoiled today and that the year ahead is all you hope for and more!

Coffee:

Being old means Medicare Advantage which means dental coverage, at least for the stuff I have needed done. I have a great dentist less than 2 miles from home. The hygienist is very sweet and greets me like an old friend twice a year. I don't even get anxious anymore. Prior to this I went to the dental school here and they were cool. Had no luck with the porcelain crown so I have shiny bling on my last molar which withstands my grinding. I had to pay at the dental school, but it wasn't bad.
