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.

Happy Birthday, Dana!!!

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.

This morning I have 2 appointments with 2 separate dentists -- the permanent crown from my root canal is in at the emergency dentist who did the root canal, so I see them at 10, and then I have a broken filling (I swear I'm not trying to copy you, sj!) that my regular dentist is repairing at 11:30. Lunch will probably be oatmeal. Or a smoothie.

Ugh. Rough night last night.

Got to sleep a little after 10:00 p.m. Was awakened by loud pounding on my apartment door an hour and a half later. It was the fire department, responding to a 911 call from the apartment below me about a gas leak. They checked for leaks in my apartment (furnace closet and kitchen), didn't find any, went away.

Adrenaline spike took a long time to ebb. That and the brain weasels kept me awake until after 2:00 a.m.

This morning my back is sullenly telling me that leaping out of bed to answer the door so quickly was a very bad idea. I am mobile, but just barely. Waiting for pain meds to kick in.

Today is going to be difficult.

I'm sorry for the miserable night, dcp. I hope the pain meds do their thing quickly and you can get some rest.

Happy Birthday Dana!

Hopefully the pain will recede as the day goes on, dcp.

Happy Dana Day!

{{{dcp}}} yikes! None of that sounds fun
