I left before 8 this morning to the lab to draw blood while fasting. Enough time between the draw and the periodontist appointment for bfast.
The perio examined my mouth. Today’s concern was the one molar. Other teeth have gum recession that are the affects of aging. He said for my age group my mouth is in good shape. However, the tooth in question has significant gum loss such that a gum graft is required. I will open my mouth and checking account for surgery tomorrow. Another $1400 to keep my real teeth and no insurance. Details are revealed when I ask questions: when can I ride again: wait 3 days to eliminate possible bleeding from exertion. Eat soft food for 4 days. There is no real corn whiskey in the canyon. Forecast calls for possible rain for next 3 days.
The rest of the morning was spent at Fat Tire for Dave to install my new Praxis bottom bracket and crank set. I opted for 170mm crank arms. The bike is on the back of the van under cover.
I chose to pass on watching the college football championship as OSU was eliminated earlier. Back out at Deer Pass poised for my 9:10 appointment tomorrow.
