07-01-2025 — Toothy grin here

Howdy all. On this drizzly morning, I went back to the dentist. This time, the crown, for the implant, fit. Well, it fit after a little grinding and sanding. And it is in and feels fairly comfortable. Finally!! Remember, the extraction of the old tooth was on 12-27-2024. Only took 6 months without a molar. I am happy with this now, and don’t have another cleaning until something like November or December.

Thus, I have that item off my list, along with Kitty’s vet visit. Next up is getting my eyes checked. I haven’t seen an eye doctor since the end of 2019. I’m sure at this point that they are a little worse off than then. I’m guessing I'll be getting a pair of “driving” glasses to correct the astigmatism and maybe a touch of nearsightedness. Which is sort of odd, considering I need reading glasses for close-up sight, and reading off this computer monitor.

Anyway, the appointment is made, for July 7th at 9:30 am. The optometry office is just southeast of here, right before my Giant Eagle store. Maybe 3 miles? I’m sure this appointment will be expensive. But I do really need a comprehensive checkup, including the glaucoma testing and to monitor the progress of my cataracts. They don’t get better, just worse, as you age.

Hopefully, after the appointment, I’ll see more clearly on how to Enjoy Life.
