Wednesday, March 18: stitches removed I know I’ve used teeth

Good day, boys and girls. I came to Mike’s and did a little cleanup and then Nichole came in and talked to him about his being tired and hyperventilating very quickly after doing a little bit of walking. She thinks it’s the liquid intake stuff. Anyhow, I went to Dr Nardone/Dr. Miller and they took out the stitches and it said it was healing fine so I went up to Dr. Turner and decided that I would see if I can get my partial put in and fit really well and I was pretty psych cause I was told I could eat normal food again that was a glorious thing.

Tuesday, March 17: Mike’s Appt. Rehab, Yoga, & Choir

Hello there. I got up around 8:25 AM. Walk to Mike’s to a little bit of cleanup and then we got him ready to go to his blood test appointment and his ultrasound CAT scan for his body. He really struggled to go down the stairs, but we got them to the appointment and they were very efficient we were able to do is 1:15 PM appointment very early because he got done his blood test very early, which was very cool. We called the LIFT and that worked out pretty well. Got them got to his house after he struggled up the steps. Everything was smooth until I tried to trust two steps to buses to get me to rehab close to me on time the 64 bus never showed up. It’s now 1:46 PM. I just got my Uber ride from 15th and Washington so  was about 5 to 6 minutes late to my Rehab. Once I was in rehab and did a couple of exercises and a woman had a medical student with with her did a few exercise exercises. I then just missed a 64 bus which was early, but I caught the 29 bus which was on time it just rides straight up task and then I catch the Broad Street to Lombard. I got the Mike’s and found out his Medicaid lady visited while I was gone and I got back around 3:05 PM. Charged up my phone to 36% and loaded up my stuff to head to Tuesday afternoon Yoga! It’s pretty cold out here I must say. well, I arrived at the 4 o’clock class and Katelynn was teaching today instead of Tina as a substitute. What’s the status yesterday but by the end of class I was sweating pretty good there. I did OK. Kaitlyn was very encouraging on some of my poses. After class, we talked about dental stuff for a little bit. It’s become more complicated with this new distraction. That’s gonna happen in the next month.  I left the Dorchester and had to turn around and go to choir practice. And practice was pretty intense, but I had a little bit of energy which helped during break the fire alarm went off and the fire department quickly turned off the alarm we were back at practice. The tenors and base had to stay a little extra. Oh my God, it’s cold out here. it’s 10:02 PM about to hit the Dorchester.

Monday, March 16: Need Another Extraction 🦷 Mild

Hey boys and girls it’s me yours truly. Well I went to Mike’s and it was a quiet morning which was nice. I canceled Dr. Turner’s appointment to put the temporary denture from the bottom teeth because I didn’t want anything messing with this hole in my tooth that’s attempting to recover. The only thing I had to do is go for a consult for Dr Wolgin to see if I needed a root canal on this one tooth. I just came out of Dr Wolgin‘s office and he quickly said that he can’t save the tooth and he needs to be extracted! Jesus H Christ another one and it’s 2️⃣ teeth over from the other tooth. I just had extracted so this might be another 900 bucks for an extraction and the whole bone grafting thing and the whole eating mushy food for a week and a half Jesus Christ goddamnit! Looks like the saves account I have is just gonna be depleted for teeth, but at least I have it for now. I’m just bummed that is all it’s now 2:04 PM. I’m going to Yoga continue 30 day challenge so I’m not doing the extraction this month. I need a break unless of course I ran a deep pain in that tooth which could happen. Anyhow, 3:43 PM I left Mike’s after Tony left. Tony ran through some exercises and thought that he was getting worse with the hyper ventilation and not being able to walk very far. I relaxed after the bad news from the dentist drink some water and ate a yogurt. anyhow, I went to the 4 o’clock class with byron. And boy was that studio hot and humid is anything? Oh my God! It was a perfect storm really humid and damp and warm of 60° outside. It was a good class though I did OK. Afterwards, I was pretty drained went to Mary’s. Ate a quick yogurt and headed to my meeting where I officially got my 14-year-old 14 year coin which I’m very proud of! After the meeting we all shared about shingles we all got we all got it at some point, but everyone else was in their 40s and they got it. There was very very strange. Well not everybody but half the people I went back to Mary’s and cooked up some pasta.
