5/9/26 – Saturday – Up very late this morning. Had lunch and Kathy took off to watch Carter play tennis. I worked on some projects in the shack. Had three to start with, got 2 down and added one so I still have three. Snacked for lunch and dinner. Kathy came home and had a snack. Usual evening routine


Now the particulars:

Not sure why but my left leg raised hell on Sunday. Could hardly make it through church. I texted Mike and told him I wouldn’t be over to Gary’s then went home, had lunch and went to bed. Put heat on my back and cold on my knee and everything seemed OK on Monday.

Basically, the rest of the week was just getting things done. Monday while out restocking the water supply at work I got Kathy a birthday card and Mother’s day card.

Her birthday was Friday and I asked her what she wanted and what she might want to do. All she said was she wanted to mow the yard so it looked good for Mother’s Day. So on Friday for her Birthday we were on the mowers doing yard work.

Wednesday while at work I notice a little tenderness on my face just below my nose on the upper gum line. I had expected I’d have to make an appointment but they weren’t doing anything so I went in and the dentist said I need a root canal. So the next morning when his secretary was in they ordered some Amoxycillin to take. So I started that and called the folks where I usual go for root canals and since it wasn’t an emergency they scheduled me for June. Then Friday they called back and said they wouldn’t take my insurance so I called and got a list of folks here that would and next week I’ll have to change that appointment. The tenderness has been gone for the most part so I think it will just be an evaluation.

I’m looking forward to this coming week. I should have a short day Monday and of course my full day Thursday at work. But Wednesday I have the appointment with the surgeon that will be doing my knee replacement. More on that next week.

Well that’s about it. Hope this finds you all safe and healthy. Stay that way and I’ll blog at you again next week.
