The COVID-19 Diary: Thursday 14 July

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.
