04-11-23 Patrick!
I was at the chiropractor for 8:45. Kevin is working on the issues causing my sloshy brain/balance issue when I turn my head a certain way. It takes a lot out of me but I will be seeing him regularly for a while and doing the exercises he gives me.
Next was a stop at the dentist office to schedule a visit to see what options there are for my broken off tooth.
At 10 I was at The Tattooed Unicorn where my friend Kimberly waited with my design. Just over two hours later I left with my new favourite tattoo on my inner right leg just above my ankle. I was completely enamored of SpongeBob SquarePants when it hit the air and wanted to tie Patrick in with a diver silhouette to represent me. I was certified at age 14 as a NAUI diver which was basically Navy Seal training back in the 70s. My Dad was a master diver and made sure we were well experienced and ready to take the course with Gord Boivin. It has been a while now since my last dive but under the sea has always been my happy place.
I returned to the office to run payroll and remittances before heading to the dentist. It seems the best option is an implant but that will likely be the most expensive as well. Second best would be to repair the post if possible and get a new crown. This would likely last for 5 years or so. Lastly would be to remove the crown next to it, modify the tooth on the other side and glue in a bridge. That would involve blessing under the bridged tooth every day. This is my least favourite option as flossing is like nails on blackboard to me. They are reaching out to my benefit provider to get the three quotes so that I can make a fully informed decision.
After that I stopped to see Mom and speak to the head nurse there as I tried to call the Dr that is supposed to be in charge of her case and they had no record of her at all. I need to discuss the results of her biopsy and know the options before I give her the information. They referred to her as an orphaned patient. Not cool, but I do feel the woman I spoke with is on top of it now.
I picked up my deliveries to the office and came home to relax. That was a lot to put on my system in one day. I have a sore spot on my back and am resting on a heating pad currently. Bed will come soon.
I also got a message from someone who lives in the Park today that the big orange cat belongs to his new roommate. He was very apologetic and said they will try to keep it in, get it fixed (!) and that I can spray it with water to scare it away any time I need to. This does sound complicated but I need to do something to keep Missy safe and able to come and go as she pleases.
