Oral surgery finally...and King Tut

We finally had the tooth extracted. The oral surgeon had an opening on Tuesday. this was perfect. Two days earlier than expected.

 

The Doctor was pleased by the changes in his blood pressure. I got it to normal levels. William was afraid but he went thru it with flying colors. He just had local anesthetic. We were in and out in less than 45 minutes.

 

William didn't bleed that badly.

 

Wed. I had a scare while we were in the pool. William kept saying that something was wrong. We had been in the pool about 15 minutes when this started. He couldn't seem to understand anything that i was saying. He did not remember what he did on Wed. Church and the pastor. It was scary. I though , Oh, No! another stroke. I got him out of the pool as soon as I could. Lo and behold 20 minutes later he was fine again. I presume that it was a TIA. Possily because of the thick blood.

 

I went home and put him to bed. I took his INR and called the cardiologist. They said that I should just continue his coumadin and retake the INR in a week.

 

I have been monitoring the bloodpressure. It is good. I am increasing his greens today. I have the day off. I cooked spinach, with bacon and boiled eggs and onions for breakfast. I cut up an avocado and tossed that in. That was breakfast with some yogurt.

 

I am making some greens, kale and mustard greens for lunch. Also, some turkey soup. I am cooking healthy today.

 

We had a good morning at the pool. William was walking in the shallow part of the pool more. This takes more out of him.

 

We saw the King Tut exhibit yesterday. I enjoyed it. William was confused. I had got him an audioguide. But, he didn't want it. He said that the person was talking too softly and too fast. I just gave it to somebody else to use.

 

We had lunch at Cleburne's. It is really good. We shared a main entree and desseret.

 

We then saw the Bible museum. William really enjoyed this museum. This is the second time that we have toured it.

 

We got home and were both exhausted. I took off to the pool and had a nice swim. William did not want to go. He stayed home in bed.

Ruth, thanks for the update on William's oral surgery. I'm glad that went well as I have been thinking of you both. So sorry to hear about the confusion with William and possible TIA. You have had a lot going on. Hopefully you have his blood pressure and blood under control now.

 

Take care.

That's great Ruth in you getting an appointment this time of the year in your area. I'm still coming to visit again just gotta get my wife to come along on her off days. That's been none lately. It's sorta hard when you're a supervisor and other tellers are taking off for various reasons.

 

Many of them are married to soldiers that are now returning from duty in Afghanistan by the bus loads daily!

Ruth: glad to hear that the oral surgery is behind both of you and thank you for letting us know.

 

Sorry about the scare on Wednesday. Back of all of our minds always, but glad it all turned out OK.

 

Sounds like a very exciting week. We missed you Tuesday, but happy all is well. Good weekend, Debbie
