This morning was Kathy's appointment with a 3rd dentist. When I was a kid I can remember having a terrible tooth ache, on a weekend. The dentists office was in part of his home. Dad took me. The dentist pulled the tooth and we went home. By the way, you can't just go straight to the 3rd dentist. He won't see you without a referral.
We arrived a few minutes early for her 10AM appointment. The 2nd dentist had not given her the referral paperwork so the receptionist had to call and confirm that a set would be sent over. (We paid for everything. Kathy had told them that she didn't think our Medicare Advantage plan would cover much of the cost and that we would fight with them. Why was a referral even necessary?) Kathy went back by 10:15. Around 11:30 a guy came out to get me and I thought, "Wow, done already." WRONG! They had not even started. He called me to the back to show me how to fold a square of gauze and stick it in Kathy's mouth. It took maybe another hour before she was ready to leave.
I'm still working on getting a set of tires. I really want to buy a set from a nationwide company, so that when I have a problem I can go to someone who bears some level of responsibility to resolve the issue. How did Sears/Wards management destroy those companies. I went to Walmart, IT WAS A ZOO! The wait was ridiculous. The lady at the counter looked TIRED. When I got up to her I asked if they had a set of a specific tire in stock. She checked the computer and said they were supposed to have 4, but she said she didn't believe the computer. She was gone for maybe 5 minutes and came back to tell me that she could only find 3 tires. I thanked her and asked how soon they could get another one. She suggested that another Walmart, only 5 miles away, might have them. She called and found that they had 12 of them. She was very nice. I may go to the other store tomorrow morning, or I may wait until after Christmas.
It was cloudy and very windy today, with a high in the low 80's.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you an yours. He has blessed me.
