So, today as I write this,
I’m hoping my phone will ring and it will be the dentist’s office. My best
friend, Claudia, has a daughter that’s a dentist and I wish she were mine
because she saw two emergency patients this past weekend. Unfortunately, she
practices in Oakland CA, so that doesn’t do me much good.
To pass the time without a
lot of movement, I’ve been watching TV and am almost finished with season two
of Travelers. I almost quit watching last night because that make-believe world
came down with a horrible, no cure virus that was beginning to run rampant in
the world...sound familiar??? Fortunately, it’s fiction, so they came up with a cure before
the 45-minute episode was over. Since I’ll most likely end up on the couch
again today, I expect I’ll finish watching the series.
I really resent having a
toothache, or any illness for that matter, because who knows how many days I
have left in this life. Having to give up three of them, and maybe more, just
makes me furious. On the other hand, I’ve watched some good television and am
trying to look at this horrid experience in a more positive way.
So, cross your fingers for
me, light a candle, rub Buddha’s belly, do a toothache go away dance, or use
whatever method you prefer to send me positive thoughts and prayers and whatever
else it’s going to take to fix this. I’m way more than ready and poor Luke and
Hannah are feeling abandoned. So sorry.
