No wonder you needed to sit down!
I’ve meant to ask — who is your dentist? Who else could it be but Dr. Naji Louis, all those years ago! I still remember climbing those steep steps behind the RBC to have a rear molar removed. Thankfully, he was a strong young man then; it took him several breaks and a good deal of effort to get that tooth out. I can still hear him apologizing, saying with a grin, “I’m sweating like an old pig!”
I believe I was his third or fourth patient after he took over from the previous dentist — I forget his name, though I recall he lived on Parkview Crescent — and all that old equipment came with the practice!
Tomorrow I’ll have to call Dr. Louis’s office, as the second half of my tooth has broken off, leaving, I think, the base still in place. My appointment is set for Monday, October 27 at 11 a.m. I’m not looking forward to the whole ordeal — the extraction, the healing, the waiting for the bridge. I suspect I’ll be living on homemade soups for a while.
This afternoon’s outing to Carleton Place for shopping wore me out. The dry goods from Bulk Barn can wait until morning, but I managed to squeeze everything else into the small fridge. How I miss my lovely kitchen — the large fridge and induction stove, the freezer in the garage, and that built-in desk with drawers on either side, perfect for my two computers.
And of course, the countertop island with its pull-out stand for short little me! The four-person table in the bay window overlooking my handmade garden, bright with perennials — such beautiful memories.
Good night.
Post Scriptum:
Thanks Bill, Almost exactly the same view as "1175" Bellamy Mills Rd
