While in Rainier yesterday morning, we got the bank appointment squared away - then crossed over the river into Longview to get Betsy's oil and filter switched out, made a short stop at Willow Grove (our 1st '"getting to know you" coffee date, was here) … where we noticed that there is now a newly installed fenced-in dog park, at least 2 acres long & wide: it's huge; then, we took the long way home over Coal Creek Road & Delameter Road, to where we currently have Independence parked, in Castle Rock.
Today, this morning, I enjoyed my morning joy juice - thankful to see this lovely, sunny, Wednesday morning … and trusting big that Yeshua would touch my lungs today in a healing way, so my asthma wouldn't be troublesome in the dentist chair: I had an 11 AM dentist appointment concerning the back crown that broke off at the gumline, Sunday evening.
I know Elohim has already goes ahead of me - before my Day starts.
I know Yeshua has healing for me.
I am grateful to be alive & I have every confidence that I walk in blessedness.
At Twin City Dental, in Kelso, Dr. Anderson (who has been examining my teeth since at least 2001) examined it & removed it - it came out hard, but oral surgery was not needed to extract it: cost was $400. A replacement for the extracted tooth was discussed and I opted for a partial implement rather than the implant option. The partial will be for 2 teeth replacements, which will also cover the tooth I had pulled in 2019 before my social Security Benefits were approved (basic Social Security - no frills). I'm happy about that decision - I am not happy with the cost, which will take a significant amount of time to save towards: $1,900.
It will take time, because Holland needs his knee taken care of …
… and that needs to get done first, I am standing firm on that: he needs to be able to enjoy some quality of life with a reduction of his pain level. If this option will not work for him, I don't know what else can be done for him. He was young and foolish, like most young men running on testosterone are prone to be; and between the youthful foolishness, the young adult ego, and the adult to mid-life years of heavy construction work - his poor body took a beating before his brain kicked in and said, "maybe you should rethink that - like, don't". His aging body is now feeling and dealing with the result of those body-beating years. I am praying he can get some relief.
Right now, he's catching up on the sleep he missed last night when my asthma flared up and sent me into a coughing fit that worried him (he never sleeps after an episode). So, when we got back home from the dentist, I said, "My face really hurts & I know I'm going to be a handful to deal with today … why don't you go upstairs and get some sleep. I know you didn't sleep at all last night after that asthma attack." He said, "I think I'll do that. You're right, I didn't sleep - I kept my ears on all night long. I love you & I was worried about you. I waited a long time for you: I don't want you to die on me. I'll make supper too, when I get up - I'm giving you the Day off." Isn't he a sweet guy? I said, "I have no plans to die any time soon. Go get some sleep; I love you, too."
Self-care is a necessity & we are working on it.
