Went to the dentist this morning to see what the game plan is to fix my broken tooth.  To my surprise and delight she said it only needed filled and not a cap.  And she had time to fix it today!  I was glad to get it fixed and I didn’t get dentist anxiety as she fixed it today.  The numbness has finally worn off and I was able to eat dinner tonight.

When the dentist told me I needed a filling she asked if I needed it done at no or reduced cost.  I had met her at the Vo-Tech when she filled a tooth for me there at no cost.  I told her I had resources and was able to pay.  I so appreciate the fact that she offers free or reduced services to her patients.  She is a very gentle dentist and was very attentive to my pain levels and quickly added more medication when she hit a sensitive spot.  Her office staff were very good too.

Stopped by to see Tim after the dentist.  He looks better but still has a long ways to go in his healing.  Not sure they have figured out a final plan for healing yet.

The internet company I am signing up with needed a notarized signature from me so we went to my real estate office to get that done.  The lady that does that for me was out to lunch so went to the bank next door and they were able to take care of it for me.

Stopped at Walmart and got a few groceries.  Man!  I was tired by the time I got through the whole store.  The scooter made it fairly easy but my knee was sore from having it on the scooter for so long and the other leg was sore from moving the scooter.  I sure got starred at a lot and several people made comments about the scooter.  I wonder if people think I couldn’t hear them as they talked about me as I scooted past them.  Maybe I was invisible today.

Came home and took a nap in my recliner.  Moving around that much wore me out!

Fixed tacos for dinner tonight and made Jim another peach cobbler.

It is still hot and muggy outside.  The humidity levels are off the charts!  I am ready for it to cool down a bit.

Tomorrow I have to be at my surgeon’s office at 11:00 to get my dressing changed and hopefully be put into a boot.  My foot has not been cranky today like it was yesterday.  It will be good to be able to wash my leg between dressing changes tomorrow.  It has been itchy lately under the dressing wrap.

Jim had to get the scooter in and out of his car ten times today.  He had driven his Element as it is easier for me to get in and out of and easier to get the scooter in and out of.  He took my trash can down to the curb today as well as took care of the critters.  Not sure I could have gotten through all of this without his help.

Grateful for a gentle dentist that offered great care and was able to fix my broken tooth today, grateful for the exercise I got today getting out and about, and grateful for naps that restore my energy level.
