Monday September 21: Brunch, Sun, & Yoga.

Hi! Today I woke up in the normal work time at 7:45 AM. I felt OK I slept very well obviously I would’ve like to sleep more but we went to bed at a 
decent hour so it wasn’t terrible. I got the Mike’s a little after nine did a couple things around around this place, including the emptying of tubs. Anyhow, I agreed to meet Mary at the café for some scrambled eggs or some kind of eggs to get to my protein in for my recovery from the implant surgery. It’s been a bit rough. I’m just used to not having discomfort for this long. I’ve been spoiled over my last few dental treatments. Anyhow, I ended up going up to the café around noon. Met up with Mary. We talked a lot. we even looked at our account such as Uber Lyft and the Apple wallet to make sure the proper things were in their proper place. I did some cleanup of that we talked, and we also talked to the woman who sits in her usual spot in near ours at the café. She’s very nice. We ran into Amy of HPY and talk to her for a bit after we left the café. That was nice. Anyhow, went back to Mike’s and went to the bank on his behalf to deposit a $200 check his sister sent. I thought she was gonna send 300 but you know how those sisters are. Anyhow, then realized I needed to catch up on blogging and literally just wrote up today’s blog today at around 3:43 PM. It’s now 3:44 PM and I’m at 15th and Locust to go to my first yoga class since last Thursday afternoon before the implant procedure. Well surprisingly there was a good half a day of sunshine. In fact, most of the late morning and afternoon had sun. It’s now 3:50 PM and now the clouds are gathering for the rainfall that will happen later on today. Tonight we have virtual and hopefully I won’t suffer like I have in his previous classes too much. Well, his class wasn’t so bad today. It was a little tough in the beginning because of my teeth and I wasn’t acclimated to the heat as much as I usually am.

Friday, September 18: Implants!!!

Well today’s theday I have been prepping for at least 6-8 months I’m getting three implants put in the bottom of my mouth. Two of them gathering to separate. I started my day waking up at 8 o’clock, and I slept in and felt good to get a little extra sleep. I got the Mike’s De did the minimum taking out trash and cleaning out the fluids, etc. I got the doctors office and use check card but the card was declined. Found out that I had to call Td bank to get a temporary increase the limit. I think the usual limit like $2500. This procedure cost $7050 and they wanted their money upfront before they would start anything. I was almost going to call. Marie asked her to run over to get a checkbook but for you I didn’t have to do that. TD answer the phone right away. It’s now 12:23 PM. I just got for Novacaine shot and they’re waiting for the Novacaine to kick in. It’s three or four days of soft food and I’ll find out how long I have to stay out of Yoga is gonna be at least two days as far as I can tell. Obviously I’m not going today and I’m not going tomorrow. That’s why I went to so many classes. Or five days ahead we’re using two days from Boston and then I’m probably gonna use at least two days here so I’m trying to meet my 30 day challenge. I’m going to go back to work at Mike’s unless I’m really fucked up. Were the procedure finished and it went I think smoothly didn’t take quite as long as I thought. Drilled 3️⃣ holes and shot me up four or five times with Novacaine thank God cause I would really hurt. I got back to Mike and the Novacaine was wearing off so I had to wait till after 2 PM to pick up my ibuprofen 600 mg and the amoxicillin which is 500 mg. I got the car instructions and basically didn’t have anything to eat, but I did have a juicy juice to swallow my pills and relieved me in my thirst. I really didn’t do much of anything took out some trash maybe Mike’s infusion people came in one of them was to stick the singing in his arm when I was gone and the nurse came after that. It’s now 4:24 PM I work till about 4:09 PM. I got there that late, even though I took an Uber cause I just needed to sleep in. I think an early bedtime would be best for me. The doctor said I could put back my bottom denture, but I’m gonna wait at least till tomorrow or the following to Dave and mess with that stuff, it’s a nice warm day but I’m dressed for it today so I’m heading to the Dorchester to see Mary.

Tuesday, March 10: 6:30 AM Yoga, extraction 🦷, Rehab & Choir

Good day America today is my version of living in America. Mary and I got up at 5:45 AM for 6:30 AM 90 minute class with Dan. It was a good growing class for sure. I’m heading to Mike’s and then running back for a 930 appointment with Colman & Turner and then at 10:15 extraction with bone graft. I also have Rehab, Work, Choir, today. At some point I’m gonna go to Mary’s and take a nap hopefully anyway, I got the Mike’s and he had the lights low and he was feeling depressed because of his life situation. God didn’t do any dishes, but Mike cleaned up on his own and he had two bags of trash, cleaned up the messy sink cleaned out his containers, wink wink and headed left his place at 9:15 to go to my 930 appointment with Dr. Turner to add another tooth to my lower A then I’m going for an extraction God I’m already tired. Anyway, I went to Dr. Turner and at 9:30 didn’t take very long. I then went to the extraction and holy crap I was seen pretty quickly. I then I’ll talk to him nor down and oh man he was right to the point and after I signed all these things saying all the things that could happen he went right in there put three shots of Novacaine and I talked about my parsonage Turner syndrome and then he went right in there and got rid of the tooth and put in the animal bone stuff. I did not even feel the tooth being yanked out, which was very weird. Anyhow, I left there told Nati eat any real solid food for the day. Anyhow, after the extraction, I wobbled down to Mike’s place and Mike had a prescription so I took advantage at fact and decided to go to Mary’s. Get my painkiller meds and take a nap. I decided to take a half hour nap. Mary is running off to her appointment and I just lied down I was sort of half asleep like the soreness is just enough to keep me half awake. I then went back down to CVS picked up my script and my script. I went down to Mike’s. Mike was disappointed. I forgot the ice cream but I did get them yogurt and that seemed to make him happy enough. Next step was to catch the bus to Rehab at McGee. That’s what I decided to do and it went pretty smoothly, except the bus had a detour, which was confusing. I went to Rehab with my machine in hand, and will it seem to appreciate me having the electronic machine, and it went pretty well. I then caught the bus back and again another wacky detour and I got back to Mike’s around 3:10 PM hung out at Mike’s till about 3:50 PM and then went back to Mary’s immediately said hi and wanted to go to sleep. There’d be no way I would’ve gone to yoga at 4 PM oh no! After I napped for about two hours, 
it was time for me to get up at 6:30 PM and go to choir practice and I went to choir practice. It was beautiful walk. It was 75° and mild. As someone sat on TikTok, it was San Diego weather. He said that we have 80 days a year that are nice like this that’s 80 out of 365. I’m surprised it’s even that high. Anyway, Choir practice is pretty good. I almost forgot my headphones got them. Mary Lou and I went up during breaking. Explored the top of the church and she explained her hip issues and I explained Parson Turner syndrome and Yoga was discussed as well. It’s 9:45 PM we got out 15 minutes early
