ALL THE NEWS THAT’S FIT TO PRINT

 

Reality is a little blurred these days.  The eye doctor says my cataracts are to stage three…an elective surgery stage.  It’s the year they renew my driver’s license, and my vision is borderline for renewal.  The dentist says the alternates are an implant, which he recommends, but he could try to replace the broken post or give me a flipper until I can afford it all.

The tooth came out again last night at dinner.

Poolies doctors have stopped chemotherapy and radiation.  They have warehoused her in the nursing home where G’s dad died.  She is having terrific hallucinations as the pain meds wear off.  We are stopping by today.

Himself:  Tourists in the museum yesterday.  Friday he fixed the store’s small cart and reports it has serious metal fatigue.  We had a really nice dinner at the Brig last night to thank friends for helping schlep the cookbooks.

Herself:  Selfcenteredly…Friday meeting with tooth, tomorrow meeting without tooth.  Today we are looking for a new cart and going to see “The Post.”

Reading:  Louise Penny

Captain Poolie:  Very not good.

Gratitude’s:  That there is still love in the world.  Kindness too.

Much like bad news, things that you have to pay for also come in threes. Eyes, tooth, you had better purchase the cart to avoid the third thing sneaking up on you unaware.

I don’t know if I’ve written about my own cataract surgery – had both eyes done, paid for the optional corrective lenses and now I am going glass-less, except for readers. Surgeries were not at all trying. The tooth issue is painful. I am babying a molar now and trying to deny the issue. So sorry to hear Poolie is not doing well.
