Feeling OK

Yesterday Rob drove me to the oral surgeon for a quick checkup on my bone graft. I’ll have to come in on schedule until he deems it is healed enough to do a dental implant.

After that we had a meal at The OK Cafe. This was only my second time eating out since the pandemic began.

It wasn’t crowded at all, so I felt totally safe there. I got fried chicken, mashed potatoes and slaw. Rob got catfish, which he said was good. He went to play Trivia after that and I settled in for the evening.

I will turn have a birthday on Sunday and since the pandemic began, I have almost quit driving completely. I do okay driving to CVS or Walgreens, but Rob drives me everywhere else. Between the neuropathy and tremor, I feel generally weaker all over. I have adjusted to my situation; besides I can spend more time on my writing.

Bingo, Paul Williams, bingo!

  1. So good to hear about the bone graft —- the oral surgeon will keep an excellent watch. They don’t do the dental implant before its time. I wish you a pleasant day and a very delicious meal for your birthday on Sunday with chocolate included, of course. Love to you! Namaste.

    1. Thanks, Ruth! I don’t think he is sure yet whether I can get one, but he told me that a bridge would be less effective. Of course, he does implants, so he would prefer them.

  2. Hey Vicki,
    That’s a wonderful quote by Paul Williams. Simple truth at it’s best! Glad you went out to eat…sounds delicious. And thumbs up with your healing progress. Birthdays and driving are such a nuisance anymore and I get the “adjusting to weakness” thing….my current situation.

    Do what makes you happy today.

    1. It is a quote from his old paperback, “Das Energi.” Lots of good stuff in it. Yes, adjusting to inevitable physical changes is just what it is, so the proper attitude is surrender. And as Bernie Siegel said to me in an email: “Honor your limits.” And i would add, “because others may not understand and put expectations on you.”
