Nothing today beyond this
short post. I just had a live computer chat with an MD at Kaiser and he’s
calling in a prescription for penicillin which my granddaughter will pick up
for me. If this isn’t a tooth gone bad…any songs about something like
that???...I don’t know what else it could be. The MD agreed with my
self-diagnosis…just call me Dr. paula.
I called my dentist’s ER
number and left messages twice yesterday, but there has been no response. Why have
an ER number if it’s not monitored???
I’m so grateful I didn’t
toss John’s Percocet since it’s the only thing…and ice packs…that’s making life
bearable right now. His prescription says to take three per day and he was much
bigger than me, but I’m taking one about every four hours which is when the
pain begins to intrude in a much more painful manner. I don’t much like the way
it makes me feel, i.e., kinda out of it, removed from reality, about 105 years
old because I’m being so careful getting around…do not want to add injury to
insult by falling on my ass or some other part of my anatomy.
But the dentist office
will be open tomorrow morning, and hopefully, she’ll take care of me
immediately. If not, I’ll be looking for dentist recommendations.
Meanwhile, it will be
another day on the couch with the doggies watching TV…have seen all of
Queen’s Gambit and working on Travelers now. I really hate losing not one, but
two entire days to doing nothing but laying down, stumbling around and reading.
Seriously, the way I’m feeling, I should be put into a nursing home and I think
I’d be the kind of patient they’d love to have…quiet, withdrawn, unable to make
any kind of trouble.
So, y’all have a very nice
day; and hopefully, Luke and Hannah can return on Tuesday.
