Slam, bam, done..

Coyote Valley RV Resort
Morgan Hill, CA

I finally got my root canal yesterday. Woohoo :-)


I can tell you they've come a long way in the procedure since my last one 30 years ago!
I have a crown on the offending tooth, due to a massive filling that was drilled out a few years back.
This endodontist was able to drill through the crown, do the root canal, and fill the crown back up.
It only took 1 1/2 hrs, but it still cost $1436, even without the new crown :-(
I'm just glad I can eat on that side again..

Since the dentist was in Salinas, I spent the day with my parents again.
Their church was having a traditional Seder dinner, which I had purchased a ticket for.
Yes, even a Lutheran church can celebrate the Seder!
George wasn't all that interested in going, and since I had to be down there all day anyway,
he chose to stay behind and work our half day shift.



My Mom still isn't feeling well, coughing a LOT, so she didn't go to the dinner,
so my Dad and I went by ourselves..and it was very nice!
I didn't take any pictures since I was participating in all the ritual.
We got a choice of lamb or chicken..and since lamb doesn't taste like chicken..
I opted for the chicken :-)
It was a great night!

Today is back to the grind of circling with the golf cart. We have another group coming in..
they're always a lot of fun.

George and I have been using the pool & hot tub a lot. It is always a great end to the day.

Next week I will be flying back to PA to help with due diligence for a possible sale of our company.
It will be nice to see the employees again..I hope it doesn't snow while I'm there!

  1. I always enjoyed going to the Seder meals at our Lutheran church in California, our church in Arizona has never offered them. Wow, $1400, I cringed when I paid $800 for my crown. Glad you feel better and safe and productive travels!

  3. I had my first (hopefully last) root canal about this time last year so I can relate. Hope PA is a nice visit but don't stay too long.
