If you are fortunate enough, to share this day with a Grandchild, these youngsters have a very different idea of the world--Talk to them and you just might hear stories of their Mom , or their baby brother, or, a ride they had wth their dad in the car--A good day to them , is buying ice cream, or eating chocolate chip cookies--- not too much mentioned about Fires or Global Warming--
Yesterday--Saturday-- Himself spoke of a toothache he was having-- This was in the morning, and he seemed to control the aching with a Tylenol---By 3pm, his jaw was beginning to swell and the Tylenol were not doing the trick-- It was Saturday however , and Dental offices are closed--I was laying on the sofa, kinda half awake, trying to remember the Dentist's office number-- A few numbers were drifting thru my brain--so I tried one--I heard a man's voice at the other end of the phone. Immediately I apologized for bothering whoever I had called----then I heard the person at the other end call me by name--"Lynda", he said , THIS IS DR. WHOEVER"--- He said he was just walking thru his office, on a Saturday, heard the phone ring. picked it up, and saw my name--He told me to meet him back at his office at 5pm . with Himself, and he would have a look at Himself's "high speed choppers"--as my Dad used to call his teeth--
How many Dentists would see a patient on a Saturday--?--We did go there, at 5pm-- The very nice Dentist was waiting for Himself, who began to tell the Dentist about all his body parts which are dying--before he is ready--Anyway, he is on an Antibiotic now--and will return to have that tooth taken care of next week ----- So, one never knows what a new day will bring?-- You may be laying around on your sofa one minute , and the next thing you know, you are sitting in a dental office's waiting room--What I could say, is appreciate every minute yu get to relax on that sofa, as--in a flash you could be whisked away somewhere-
I saw this and thought of Mom's many expressions which seem to float into my mind, ALL the time--It seems like her spirit does reply--as it says above. and, do our souls never part?--- So much to think about in this world isn't there?--
Happy Sunday! You make me happy, too! Hot here in Ohio today. Wow! You are great to make that magic call to the dentist. I am so happy himself got relief and getting it taken care of! You are the best! I get a cleaning tomorrow! I have been going to the dentist almost every week. Lol Enjoy your Sunday! You deserve it!
ReplyDeletevery hot here too!--=Hope your trip to the dentist is good!--Lynda
DeleteYou, Lynda, make me happy.
ReplyDeleteLoved the inserts and especially thinking about my mom watching and guiding me. She was the Best! I miss her terribly.
Wow. The dentist answered the phone and got himself in on Saturday.. what amazing service above and beyond. So glad it worked out. Tooth pain is rough. You never know what your day will bring. You always handle IT. God bless you!
Hot in St.Louis. Heat advisory as a week of 100F is on tap.
Just returned from a bananna run plus a few other things. No meat, just a few things but racked up $50 without trying.
Relax and do nothing since that didn't happen yesterday. Good day to play your piano and get back on the couch lol
Hugs
I loved that insert about a Mom- Yu know, if someone asked me to list all her "sayings'-- I could not--but--somehow, they pop into my head at the right time-- makes yu wonder eh?----AND-- I am happy that you are happy--It was very hot here to-day--Good thing for AC---I got out for a "FEW" groceries-- $150--but I put it away much quicker than a-Lynda $400 --order oh--Son#2--just texted me-- He said, "LANDED _-CALGARY" --always happ[yto her that--Lynda
Deletesorry about all the spelling mistakes --above-- trying to hurry as Himself is calling--Lynda
DeleteWhat are the odds that the dentist would happen to be walking through his office on a Saturday, heard the phone ringing, ANSWERED IT, and recognized your name? And then gave up a Saturday evening to see Himself! Call it serendipity, call it a miracle, call it a blessing -- the universe came through for you. It's things like this that we need to tuck away in our memories to call on when it seems as if the world is conspiring against us and we think nobody cares. I hope the antibiotics kick in and ease the pain.
ReplyDeleteIt really was a blessing wasn't it?--and himself is taking his antibiotics --and he goes back Wednesday--All's well that ends well-- LOL--so far anyway--Lynda
DeleteHurricane Hilary is impacting our Sunday here in Southern California. We are such wimps when it comes to weather, so this “unprecedented “ threat has a lot of people in a tizzy! Seems to be unprecedented times everywhere when it comes to weather this year.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to get hold of the dentist. Toothaches are horrible. Hopefully Tylenol and antibiotics make the wait till Monday more tolerable for both of you.
I hope that hurricane is not going to be as bad as we hear-The weather is all crazy isn't it?-- Lynda-
DeleteIt's Kathy - how wonderful that you remembered the number and the dentist just happened to have stopped at his office for some reason. AND that he was willing to see himself. Sounds like a bit of a miracle to me! I love the poem about moms, although for me it would be my dad. My mom never really understood how to be a mom! I think all this worrying is wearing me out - I got up with Daisy at 6:30, she refused to eat her breakfast so we both went back to bed and I promptly fell asleep until 8:30. Guess I needed the sleep. Thanks for your support. I have to believe that the fact the boys both have autism will keep them with their mom because their dad refuses to acknowledge the issue! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteKathy--It was like a miracle-- the Dentist seeing him on Saturday--Funny--all my gabbing about my Mom, but--like you---I was much closer to my Dad--Mom was always busy --She was a school teacher--plus her Mom died when she was 12 yrs old, so I always figured that she did not know how to "mother" me--plus she got very cross with my Dad when He would "give in" to me-- I learned quite young to not be like that with my own children--not to favour one child--Lynda
DeleteWow! I am soooo glad that you were able to see the dentist yesterday. What a kind man! Given Himself's age and what's going on, it is good he was seen and started on antibiotics. PHEW. Hugs and prayers that he gets comfortable til his next visit.
ReplyDeleteStay cool. It is hot and humid here, but given all the disasters going on, I will not complain!
hugs and blessings

The Dentist was amazing to see Fred wasn't he--on a Saturday?--VERY hot here today--Lynda
DeleteThat was like magical thinking, you remembering the dentist number, calling, and he just happens to be in the office, recognized your name, and picked up. Wonder if he would have picked up, if he did not know the name? But that antibiotic needed to be given before they poke around any way. Thank goodness! Go play your piano now! ❤️
ReplyDeleteIt really was like a miracle--- even tat I remembered the number--and the antibiotic seems to keep the pain at bay--Lynda
DeleteHimself is one lucky fellow that his wife would phone a Dentist on a Saturday and then get him an appointment One more reason that I am sure he is very thankful for you. Unfortunately there are days that he forgets just how much you do for him and how much you mean to him. Enjoy your day. Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh Madeline --He forgets how good I am every minute of everyday--LOL-- but--I try to remember that in days gone by, he treated me like a Queen-- Just remind me of that--coz I tend to forget--LoL---Lynda
DeleteWhat a wonderful, caring dentist! So glad you not only have temporary relief for Himself but an appointment for a more permanent solution, too.
ReplyDeleteHope your Sunday is a blessed one. Face it like the six year old within!
Sundays are the best aren't they Barb?--and yes,, that Dentist is pretty special--Lynda
DeleteAll of today's inserts are really good. Lucky you with the dentist. To phone when he just happens to be there and he sees your name and answers the phone and has you guys come in late on a Saturday afternoon. What time and what a great dentist. I'd be really surprised if that ever happens here in Toronto! So hopefully himself feels better the rest of the weekend with the antibiotics. Relax tonight and plau the piano. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda--Yes it was so fortunate that it all worked out--Who would ever think eh?-- and the Antibiotic are taking the pain away--I guess there really is a God in Heaven--Lynda
DeleteThe Dentist gave him Tylenol and ordered him Biaxin, which he had already started to take- It was the hottest day all summer here to-day--- I felt like I was in an oven when I went outside-=-and I cut the grass in it--Ethan, the Grandson could not get out here-to do it--_AND for sure--lets make it the best week ever!-- Hope your party for yer manager went well---Hugs, Lynda
ReplyDeleteHi Lynda….,what a wonderful dentist you have. That’s truly amazing, sometimes we get lovely surprises.
ReplyDeleteYou amaze me too, your strength is inspiring. I think of you often when I have a challenging day. Have a wonderful Monday.
