9:54 PM
I suppose it is late night but it has just become
dark so it doesn't feel late.
I’m fine; I’m ok. You
don’t have to read any further. The rest is just me wanting to write. De
facto admittance of selfish self-expression. I’m really ok, all things considered.
The old right toe took the whole day. It started out simple but after the procedure
Janet and I went to lunch and then I was going to get to lie down and elevate
the foot. That’s when I found that the
sock was bloody; the bandage had bleed through.
So back to the phone and the doc was great, he just said come right back
and we’ll take a look at it. You see
with all my blood thinners there is a danger of prolonged bleeding. But when he, or I should say, they, (because
the kind nurse did the unbandaging and bandaging,) got it all unwrapped
it was found to not be bleeding much at all.
So the judgment was that I had stayed on my feet too long
instead of going right to bed. So they
wrapped it all up again and I went home, took pills, and tried to lie still and
listen to music. Seems I use Spotify
during active daytime for specific musics, and Pandora at night when I’m
willing to listen to what they call “a radio” themed around a composer. I've got quite a list.
I just hope the toe will be good enough for tomorrow,
because I must get around. First it is
the dentist in the morning, because that filed down jaw part is still hurting,
and, instead of going 140 miles on that same right toe to my normal Seattle clinic, I’m
going to try Janet’s local dentist.
And then in the afternoon I have to go get the MRI done in
another city.
This tells me the old toe isn't going to get a lot of rest
tomorrow.
So it goes. One more day in the march towards retirement,
when I start my online life.
Blessings on you all, if you read this, and even if I don't know who you are. Blessings, by
definition are always good to get.
