Crazy day, oh no, I broke a tooth!

July 27 – Out the door for our 8 AM bathroom cleaning!  Today I had Bill drop me at the Cadillac while he went to do the portolets and pick up bagged trash.  He went to mow after those jobs were completed and I cleaned the only open cabin and did trash runs.  When we took our morning break I made phone calls to find a dentist on my dental plan to work on my front tooth. 

The first number I called was a nursing home.  The second number allowed me to dial 1, then select 2, then sit on hold so I gave up and moved on to the 3 number on my list.  I had noted there were several dentists at that address so figured one should have time to see me.  Once she confirmed they were on my dental plan we moved forward with my life story and she told me to be there at 1:15 for my 1:30 appointment and one of 3 dentists would end up taking care of me.

Bill let them know I would be back later in the day when he left to go back.  Just over night my tongue was sore from hitting the jagged edges of my tooth.  I left early enough to stop at CVS to pick up my motion sickness prescription for our journey across Lake Michigan in a couple of weeks and enough for my trip to Ireland in September.  That was an ordeal as Walmart did not have any and could not get it.  Walgreens claimed they could get it but my insurance would not cover it and it’s $85.00.  So I called my Caremark coverage to see if it was covered and it doesn’t come in a generic so no.  I tried CVS and she had 3 single patches instead of the 4 that come in a box, I didn’t know that you could buy them individually.  I really only need 3 so she was calling Wal-Mart to transfer the script and I could pick them up later.

I left early for the dentist and stopped at CVS and picked up my script and was surprised it was $16 less than she had quoted me so that was nice.  There was some road construction on the way to the dentist and when I arrived I was surprised it was a large family health center.  From the forms I had to complete I gathered that it was a government run place.  I was a little nervous as the 2 dentist I saw when they took me back were pretty old!  I ended up with an old black gentleman who what just that, very gentle.  I was a little concerned when he asked the technician which tooth he was working on halfway through the process!!!!!  He barely said a word, just sat in the chair, asked what I needed done, and went to work.  I’m really happy with the results.  As I left I asked her do I see someone to check out and she said no, just go.  I asked about my co-pay, and a receipt and she asked did I need a receipt.  Well, if they weren’t asking for money I guess not.  Will see what happens!

Loading wood for delivery

Bill was working when I got home and he asked if I checked the bank about the closing money from the sale of our rental house.  I was so wrapped up in my tooth ordeal that I totally forgot.  I checked and the money was there so all is well with the final sale of 1405 Kimberly Street.  Yahoo!

We were pretty busy during the late evening delivering wood, helping RV’s get parked, keeping check on the restrooms.  We didn’t head for home until after 9:30 and I was more than ready.
