Latest Doctor Appointments And The Weekend

Thursday I had an appointment with Dr. Kukelhan to get my permanent crown. Wouldn't you know, 4AM that day I broke another tooth so had to have her look at that while I was there and I'll need that tooth crowned too. I had asked Dr. Shamerloh once if he thought I'd ever need dentures and he said my teeth were too good for that, I'd never need them. Within a couple of months after that I needed two crowns. I told him he said I'd never need dentures but that he didn't say I was going to have a mouth full of crowns. He told me that I never asked him that! LOL

Friday morning I had a followup appointment with Dr. Berning at the St. Joseph Burn and Wound Center. Dr. Berning was pleased with the healing progress. He said for all intents and purposes, I am done with them. The wound is healed pretty much to skin level, mostly just needs to heal over now. I'm still dressing it with the saline soaked gauze. He was going to contact Home Health Care to have me released from their care. Yay, that means I'm no longer considered home bound! He said to come back in 5-6 weeks but I told him I'd be out of state for the birth of my grandson so we sat it for 8 weeks.

After my appointment I went to the Meijer store and tromped all over about half of it. Then I went to Gordon Foood Service to get a ham, turkey breast and horn of provolone cheese and have them all sliced. Gene seperates them and packages them for the freezer with his vacuum Seal-A-Meal. He also had me pick up a chunk of Asiago cheese. I "had" to get a few other things while I was there also. I like to stock up on frozen vegetables when I go there because they're so much cheaper than at the grocery store. By the time I left there I was so tired I could hardly drag. I had planned to get gas but with being so tired decided I was skipping that because I thought I had enough to get back to Bluffton and the price was the same.

I had just got on I-69 to head home when my "Low Tire" light came on. I slowed down, but decided since it was handling okay that I wasn't stopping on the interstate if I didn't have to. I got to the next exit and got off and as I was exiting my gas tank chimed that it was low so I figured the gas station as as good a place as any to take a look at the tires. They all looked okay so I filled up with gas and decided to take it over to the tire store on down and across the highway, but they were closed and a for sale sign out front. I decided I was heading back to Bluffton unless I started having handling problems, in which case I would use our auto club membership and have someone come take care of it. I got to Bluffton and stopped at Hiday Motors. They found too pieces of wire stuck in the right rear tire and fixed it for me.

When I finally got home I was so tired I took a 3 1/2 hour nap.

Yesterday was Connie and Fred's wedding up at Warsaw. I laid down in the afternoon to put my feet up for a bit and fell asleep. When Gene woke me up we scrambled to get out of here but no way we could make it on time for the wedding so just went for the reception. They were married where they live. They have a beautiful place there.

I sat my alarm to get up and go to church this morning but woke up still so tired I could barely move so shut the alarm off and went back to sleep for a couple more hours. I still got up so tired I could hardly move and I've been tired all day. One of these days maybe I'll bet some more endurance built up. I tinkered on the computer all day, mostly watching live streaming storm chases in Missouri, and watching TV.
