Thursday, February 26: First Day @ McGee

Good day everyone. After having some intense streams, but various things I got up feeling pretty well rested. Much more rested than yesterday. I got up showed up late as usual a little after 9 o’clock. I came in and Mike said he wanted to cancel the 1130 appointment today. That’s what he did too. I was really relieved because that really took a lot of pressure off me to get to his appointment and then somehow get to my rehab appointment on time. I didn’t have to bring Marion Bob with it. He postponed it actually the appointment wasn’t even today it’s scheduledon March 2. Mike got the days mixed up. Well March 2 is a better day. I think that’s Monday. I then took it easy and then had to leave Mike’s to get ready to catch the Broad Street bus and then catch a 64 bus in 

Washington Avenue. It’s an approximate 25 minute bus ride to and fro McGee. I forgot my electronic stimulator hopefully they’ll have some. I was really lucky I showed up early because the bus showed up 8️⃣ minutes earlier

than scheduled. I’ve been waiting a long time if I didn’t show up early, so that has to be the plan to show up a little bit early to cover myself, especially with the buses are concerned. Well, I showed up in plenty of time and I waited in the Therapist was about five minutes late which isn’t bad but usually they show up right on time. She was different little bit older with short hair. We did some basic exercise exercises. It was still a workout for me. Anyhow, I caught the 29 bus up to Broad and Tasker and I caught the train about two minutes after I showed up so that really helped me get to Mike’s closer to 3 o’clock instead of closer to 3:30 PM. That was good now it’s 3:48 PM. I have 7% on my phone and I’m heading to yoga.

Wednesday, February 25: Implant Estimate. REST

This morning I woke up around 7:45 AM but I laid around till close to 8 AM. I had cereal and got the Mike’s around 9 o’clock. It was fairly mild. It was about 36° when I left the door. The snow is melting pretty quickly definitely compared to the last snowstorm. I went to Mike’s. We chatted a little bit and then I went to the specialist to get a price on how much implantswould be. Mind you this is only the cost of putting in a bone graft and the implant. It does not include putting in the crowns which the regular Dentest would put in. The total was about $6200. The dental plan only covered about $350. That was for the extraction. So when you add in the crowns which are approximately $1900 it’s a pretty pricey proposition. Anyhow, I’m gonna sit on that and think about it a while. This is a very big commitment because once he does the extraction in a bone graft you gotta let your mouth heal for 3️⃣ months before
finishing it off. Anyhow, after that I went to CVS and did errands for Mike at the CVS. He had no scripts it’s now 12:49 PM. I’m going to be seeing Dr. Hockenberry, at 2 PM. Then it’s off to Yoga butnot till 5:30 PM class so I’ll be able to take a nap, hopefully when I get to the Dorchester.  Anyhow, finished my appointment is now 3:03 PM. Just told the doctor all the stuff that’s goingon the last 2 1/2 3️⃣ weeks. Then three weeks before that started the whole snow frigid weather bullshit. Anyway half an hour at Mike’s or so, andthen off to the Dorchester to hopefully take a nap. Anyhow, right now 4:18 PM I officially got my full eight hours today. I’m also officially at 7% on my battery. We skipped yoga and napped. It was good. It was really good to just skipped the class. Yes today. I really needed that rest. My body and mind are tired. I feel like in the last year. I really did some aging going on. Well the Parson it’s Turner gave me that first signal and today the beep goes on.

Tuesday, February 24: We R the Tomato Juice

We are in the world of risk based margins. I don’t know what that means but it was next to me on the airport. Anyway, Mary and I successfully got 
up at about 4:15 AM this morning. We had time to have cereal and iced tea. We got to the airport had some really bitter star, Starbucks, coffee, and the flight left on time. It’s 927. They 

just handed us our cookie and juice combo at the airline. It is FAA approved cookie and it’s official that Diet Coke is approved by Kash Patel that grifter 
of the FBI. Well, we landed on time but oh my God that was a bit of a rough land. We literally just hit the ground hard. Woke everyone up it on 941. We’re going to get our luggage out. Word, 30th St. after he caught
the train that was 10 minutes late due to snow problems, etc. It’s now 10:53 AM. I just hit the head and we’re gonna take Uber from 30th St. to downtown. Well, we got the Mary‘s house and unpacked and got a little bit organized and I took my yoga stuff and got it together and charge my phone at Mary 

since I don’t have a charging device with me which kind of sucks because I’m at Mike’s and I went to CVS and and got some stuff and then he sat andrealized how low battery it’s 2:22 PM and I’ve got 6% left on my phone. Anyway, I went to Mary’s. Got a real quick nap and charged my phoneto 24%. That’s enough to get me to Mike’s and sign out. It’s 3:19 PM and it’s like a 10 to 50 mile an hour gust going on and gonna go to yoga at 4 PM andthen go to Mary’s ACA. Well, I went to Mike’s house and got things together and got ready to sign out and that’s what I did. I want to buy 4 PM class. He was taking over for Tina who taught yesterday. It was tough for me today cause I was really stiff and I’ve not been in class in over a week. I was pretty stiff. After class, we relaxed at the Dorchester and then went to ACA. Good meeting. I did share. Then went back and caught up on Stephen Colbert shows we missed 


over the last week. Tomorrow I have two appointments, one with the specialist and a doctor Hockenberry,.
