Went to see the dentist this morning. Not good news! Seems like the antibiotic treatment that I had a few months ago didn't help much. The dentist scheduled me to come back in 3 months for a cleaning and evaluation. We'll decide then what, if any, additional steps need to be done. It's like a final 3 months to get things turned around or else! No joy in mudville (or in the dental domain)!

Watched a Hitchcock movie tonight--Suspicion (Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine). It was a classic Hitchcock thriller with many twists and turns. It had a rather ho-hum ending since the original ending, with Grant doing an evil deed, was reworked so he wouldn't come off as a bad guy. Instead, he came off as a somewhat feckless goof who rides into the sunset with the girl.

PD weight training class had a full house today. There were a couple of people who didn't come today; we still had 9 or 10 people. I think it's the most that have done a session since we began the workouts. I did well with the 12-lb weights. They are feeling lighter as we continue the classes.

I noticed that I took in the various people in class today. I was aware of the "mirror" the class reflected regarding stages of the illness. The spectrum in the class is from people who have to depend upon caregivers, to people who are managing without caregivers but are weak and fragile, to some of us who are not in need of a caregiver but exhibit a range of symptoms (from a lot to almost none). It's like viewing a panorama of the illness at various stages. Not an exciting preview of what can come.

Got up early today (7am!!) so I could get to the dental appointment. Came back and slept some after grabbing a tasty breakfast. Hit the PD class in the afternoon and topped it off with a green tea latte. Slept for a short spell in the late afternoon before watching the movie. Long day! Full day! Say goodbye to September! October is on its way!
