This morning my son, Joe, took me to the dental surgeon for a check on my implants. He said they look good but the gum has grown over one of them. He said I would be ready for the crowns in about 3 weeks and at that time he would use a small lazer to burn the thin layer of gum off. I am then to go straight over to my dentist for impressions and temporary crowns. Looks like it will well into Sept before I am thru with all this. I have been eating mostly soup, yogurt and apple sauce. He told me this morning I could brush the implant area - said I could even use the electric toothbrush in that area. I have been avoiding it when I brushed my teeth. Guess I try to get up nerve and do what he says.

It has been really hot. We are supposed to have rain this afternoon and that will be good as we are behind in rain. I did have a pretty good shower a few days ago but would welcome some more.

I have stumped my little toe. I was in the bedroom which is carpeted so don't know how I did it. It hasn't hurt until this morning. I tried putting on my tennis shoes and I could hardly make it from the bedroom to the den. I taped it to the other toes and put my sandles on but I hobbled to the dentist. Guess I will be going barefoot around the house for a few days.

My son had to leave immediately after he got me home because he and his wife had to take her Dad to the hospital for a check up. He had a kidney procedure last week and this is just for a check up. Maybe they will get all of all folks settle down for awhile.

I talked to Louise and she has been mowing every morning. She called me when she came in and said she had about half of her acreage mowed. She goes out every morning for about an hour or two. I think she has 5 acres to maintain.

I will be staying in today. May try to clean my desk.
