Today, I went to doctor and dentist. I have antibiotic for illness. My gums were very irritated! I love the slick feeling of clean teeth.
The doctor said she wanted to look in my ears, so I turned my head to one side and then the other. She said now let me look in your nose. I dutifully turned my head up and wondered why she hesitated. "Take your mask down." With trepidation I pulled the mask from my nose and quickly put it back over my nose. Now, let me look in your mouth. Again, I tipped my head back. I opened my mouth. "Take your mask down." Rats, I cannot get the hang of this.
She listened to my chest then reached to my back. I started laughing uncontrollably, trying to breath like I knew she wanted me to do. That resulted in a lot of gasping and stifled laughing. When she finally walked away, I asked her what she said...take big breaths. I could have sworn she did not, what I heard was "big breasts." I assured her I knew she was not talking to me. Well, I made the doctor laugh.
Yes, this is affecting my hearing.
The dental hygienist was wrapped head to toe. So was the dentist. In my county the hospital only had 4 covid19 patients and none were on ventilators. That makes me feel a bit better about uncovering my mouth and nose.
I found a five pound bag of cornmeal for $0.49. I got only one since I don't use a lot of cornmeal. I should have gotten two more. But, at home I looked at the use by date--Oct 3 2020. Rats. Well, it is going into the freezer once I give it a sniff and taste. I feel quite confident it is fine unless stored in a hot warehouse for a long time. When this store has such a great bargain, a person must wonder why and check the date.
Jello No-Bake Pumpkin Style Dessert came home with me. I showed it to Tommy and he noted "style." Dinner tonight was canned roast beef and gravy and green beans. Tommy had some green grapes. Maybe I will make the Jello Pumpkin "style" dessert tonight. Yes, I will.
Update: I did make the Jello No-Bake Pumpkin Style Dessert, and it was delicious. I won't buy it again, but we enjoyed it.
Does it make you a bit apprehensive to go to doctor or dentist?
