Although this week has been busy, it has been busy in a different kind of way.
Last week it was social, whereas, this week it most certainly has been medical.
So, on Monday, I had a telephone appointment with one of the doctors from my surgery. He was trying to sell me the idea that a cholesterol level of 4.4 was very high and that I needed to take more Statins. Of course, I disagreed with him so medication stays the same haha.
On Tuesday, early evening, I returned to my dentist to have the new crown removed and impressions taken for a replacement. The crown is too low so that is the reason that the new implants on the right of my mouth are not engaging and are in effect useless. This new crown hopefully will sort that out, plus, as he had forgotten to match the new crown's colour to my teeth he will be sorting that out also. I was surprised that he virtually destroyed the crown getting it out, then proceeded to rebuild it as a temporary crown and put it back in my mouth. I hope the new crown will be ready and in before I jet off to Santorini in 19 days. Finally, on Wednesday, I attended the Connect Physio Department in the ongoing quest with my pins and needles. I have to say the young man who saw me was impressed with the amount of movement I had throughout my body and only gave me a few additional exercises to add to my daily exercise regime, so it was all good.
Wednesday saw the first birthday of our fur baby Frank. As you can see from the chart below at one year old he is a troublesome teenager haha. He enjoyed his present from his nana, a Kong filled with treats and in the evening he got raw mince steak which had been fashioned into a bone for his birthday treat followed by a Wooffin, which are special dog muffins haha.
Interesting facts about dog age. I always thought that a dog's years were equivalent to 7 human years, but apparently, that is not the case.

Most of you are aware that I will be shortly jetting off to Santorini for a week's holiday. This will be a solo trip for the first time and I have to admit as confident as I usually am I have been extremely nervous about the prospect. Sarah suggested that I go on the company's Facebook site and ask if anyone was going on the same holiday and flying from Manchester. In this way, I would be able to befriend people in the same situation before I actually went. I wasn't holding out much hope to be fair, but within hours, 2 ladies had replied saying that they were indeed going to the same villa on the same Manchester flight as me. We have since set up a WhatsApp group and chat most days. So all my fears are now behind me and I am just looking forward to my holiday in the sun.
Today Sarah and I treat ourselves to some uninterupted retail therapy. We spent the morning in Teesside Parks clothes stores before adjourning to Wagamas for our lunch. Suitably refreshed the marathon clothes shop continued haha. I got a couple of dresses but Sarah went to town with tops, trousers, dresses etc.
On Thursday night I made the mistake of switching on the TV when I went to bed. The first electoral results where filtering through and before I knew it, it was 2.30 in the morning. I found it fascinating listening to all the ins and outs and of course the fabled swing-o-meter haha. I determined to switch off and get some sleep, but was awake again to go to loo so TV went on again at 5 o'clock and stayed on until I went out at 10 oclock. So I havent had much sleep to be honest.
This week's brain teaser - Can you find the mouse for the cat?
