DVT DAY 159
I knew today was not going to be fun given that it was dentist day. Being a prompt sort I rocked up on time and was told to wait as they were running behind time. So I amused myself in the car park, without car, for half and hour before I was called in, offered hand sanitizer and shown to the clinic room. I was greeted by my dentist in a self contained breathing helmet and full hazmat kit. Well this is fun. The injection in my gums weren’t fun, nor was the metal cage around my tooth, nor was the drilling. The actual filling was more artistic and ended with the usual trying to spit out mouth wash accurately with the now very numb face. So by the time I got home the morning was gone and just needed to read for a couple of hours till my mouth recovered enough for me to eat. Soft noodles and zero alcohol beer. More reading and the it was time to jump on the bike and train for an hour. The best thing about the bike was the end when I found the hibiscus had flowered.
My evening was an IT conquest as I got my laptop to blue tooth with the TV so I could watch the first rugby match of the renewed season. Another little wonder of the cyber world and a new skill to add to my CV. The best news of the day was that my youngest daughter is coming to stay for the weekend. This was counter balanced by the news that an old client is going to be released, old colleagues were equally dismayed. Strange world. In this strange world it will be a year in 17 days since I wrote my first blog and a year since I started chemo. I am not sure how I will celebrate, there are a lot of things and people I miss as we grind through the aggravation and this COVID.
