BM>>>>> I need to have a colonoscopy done - no rush, just slightly overdue
BM>>>>> on the five-year. [snip]
NB>>>> If you call, worst case probably would be "no, we aren't open for that
NB>>>> yet", but then they'll know that you are wanting to know as soon as
NB>>>> they do open... :)
BM>>> And now probably open with the social distancing. Right now a bunch
BM>>> of But Firsts have lined up.... Though what's new?!
NB>>> Don't want to put that off too long, though... :)
BM>> No, July 3rd as I type this, so half the year gone!
NB>> And have you checked yet...?
BM> Of course not!
And now that it's almost another month later... have you checked...?
BM>>> Did get an e-mail reminder I was overdue for a checkup -- But First!
NB>>> So, are you going to tell them that they waited so long that other
NB>>> things jumped in line in front of their most important checkup...? ;)
BM>> Naaa! <g> Plus the level of priority changes constantly, and with the
BM>> viewpoint. To them my eye exam would always have a few extra points
BM>> attached, to me arranging the roof replacement from the hail storm had
BM>> added points, though in hind-sight plenty of available slots to get an
BM>> eye exam.... And today's excuse is it's the Friday before the 4th of
BM>> July................
NB>> Hopefully you've run out of excuses now... <G> I got in to our
NB>> Optical Shop on July 1st, and am now waiting for them to call me with
NB>> the news that my new glasses are ready... at that point, will need to
NB>> make an appointment to pick them up and have the final fitting...
NB>> more rigid than before... :)
BM> Right: the need to keep people away from each other, disinfect between
BM> appointments, etc.
Exactly... and now I have the new glasses, and am putting off letting
them know that I think they need a bit more adjustment, since I'm sure
that will require another appointment... used to be able to just walk in
at my convenience....
BM>> Have a dental appointment coming up in about ten days -- their parking
BM>> lot is long and narrow with trees and arbor vitae on on the
BM>> sun-coming-up side (east) so you'll know where I'll be!
BM>> Not getting my usual dental hygenist this time so probably won't get
BM>> her room but the view out her windows is almost looking into a small
BM>> ravine: the perimeter is taller trees and shrubs, bird feeders are
BM>> hanging from some branches. The 'ravine' goes down at least a story
BM>> below. While waiting and seated I watch the birds and squirrels.
NB>> Our dentist's office is right on the Erie/Barge Canal, so we look
NB>> out (from just about any room) onto the canal... :)
BM> That could be rather interesting as long as river/canal traffic
BM> passing by for entertainment.
We can also see ducks/geese swimming on the canal, and activity across
the canal.... :)
BM> BTW, "look ma, no cavities!" with
BM> yesterday's dental appointment. Call from the parking lot, someone
BM> comes out to check temperature and quick update from the preliminary
BM> call last Thursday. Somewhat escorted in -- doors propped open so
BM> don't have to touch (not overly warm outside yet).
BM> Only a few things different as far as the actual cleaning procedure:
BM> swish with a hydrogen peroxide solution (never did that before). She
BM> wore a mask (normal) plus a full face shield (modified - goggles
BM> before). A little more scraping of the teeth, no polishing due to
BM> release of micro-aerosols.
Quite similar to ours, then... :) I only had to swish with the
hydrogen peroxide when I went back to have actual dental work done...
