Going to New York Wednesday

I make it to yoga at 6 am.  Not too dizzy this morning.

I drive to northeast Long Beach to see Elaine Williams' dad at Active Care at Brittany House.  5401 E Centralia Street, where he is a patient, or resident.  He is not too verbal, and I clean his teeth and do two fillings with silver diamine fluoride on #21 DB at gumline, and #29 D, where I can see the decay on the occlusal.  No one brushed his teeth for at least a day or two.  I tried to get him to open but Elaine had to prop his mouth open with the end of the toothbrush.  I do not have a mouth prop.  I need to get one.  She gave me a 300 dollar check.  I text her later that the next visit will be free, which is set in August.  Then I drive home.

Got an email today that there is an appt opening next week, and I get on the computer to make reservation

We are leaving for NYC, via JFK this Saturday night. the 22 on a red eye and arriving in NYC at 6 am, first class, as Alaska Airlines does not have business.  Then I tried making airbnb reservation, but the two I tried does not go through.  So I finally made one for Hotel Newton, on upper WEST side, across the 97th street transverse road.  Oh well, nothing available on upper east side.

THEN we get the message that Mike Ackerman is in the hospital !!!!  His pain got so bad they went to ER and he was admitted, and on morphine.  His has a tumor wrapped around his right kidney, and they are doing a biopsy.

We go see him room 548, and Patty and Forrest is there.  He feels better with morphine, but the pain is still there.  Waiting for the lab result.  We bring him a lot of fruit, as morphine will get you terribly stopped up.  The elevator rides got me so dizzy.  I felt like the whole building was swaying like in an earthquake.  Bill Johnson came in as we were leaving.

There is a prayer meeting at Joy's house tonight.  I am going to bed. I was asleep by 8 15.
