I was tired all day. I took a nap at 6 PM, woke up, had dinner, and went back to bed. I don’t know if my aching knee is wearing me out or if it’s something else, but it felt good to get some sleep.

Stay healthy and safe.

The swelling in my knee continues to decrease. I have close to full range of motion again, but standing up is painful, and I still take the stairs one at a time.

Stay healthy and safe.

Dentist appointment take two. I’m having a filling replaced. As I sit down I remark that sitting and standing is a little difficult because I recently had knee surgery.

My dentist says, “You had knee surgery? Is there any metal in your knee?”

“Yeah, a pin,” I reply.

My dentist tells me that I can’t have the procedure done until they talk to my orthopedic surgeon. Apparently there’s a risk of infection and I may need to take an antibiotic. I give them the contact information for my doctor and they give me a prescription. They tell me not to get it filled until I hear from them. Once this is resolved I can reschedule my appointment. Fortunately I’m only 15 minutes away from the dentists’ office.

Stay healthy and safe.

Dentist appointment, take one.

“Hi, I’m here for my 9:40 appointment.”

The receptionist looks at their computer for several seconds and says, “Mr. Bandy, your appointment is tomorrow.”

I check the confirmation text they sent me and say, “You’re right. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

I put it in my calendar for the 13th and didn’t bother to check the date in the text. Fortunately I’m only 15 minutes away from the dentists’ office.

Stay healthy and safe.

Back to work after a week off. It was quiet. We also started our new fiscal year. It’s the first time in years that I haven’t had to manage any year end tasks, which contributed to the quiet.

I like quiet. Quiet is good.

Stay healthy and safe.
