Thanks everyone for your prayers, she is fine.

As hubby and I were making a mad dash over to her home she finally texted me, she was at PT.

I told her she scared me!!!

She said she was sorry and hadn’t checked her messages that morning.

Took her to lunch and the foot doctor.

Now we have another problem, taking her on Fri. to have a root canal, foot doc told her to renew and start taking antibiotics 3 days before, dentist said NO, take 2 pills one hour prior to procedure, foot doc NOT happy so friend called dentist again to see if she misunderstood, no she hadn’t.

She explained to dentist that if she got an infection in her foot brought on by the root canal she has no more time off from work and would lose her job, I told her it could be much worse than that if her foot got infected.

I said we need to get it in writing for your records what the dentists instructions were, she is afraid of putting him on the defense, I said let me handle it, you need this just in case, you can’t trust anyone these days.

My friend is now able to drive but wants me with her at the doctors because due to stroke she had she gets things confused, this was example as she called to tell me what dentist said she kept saying he told her to take pills 3 days ahead I had to keep saying no, the foot doctor said that, I was there and heard him, dentist said 1 hr. before.

I have a headache. lol

But I love her dearly.

Glad she is okay. She is so fortunate to have you. That all is confusing to me. God bless her and you.

I understand her confusion. I tend to go with the foot doctor. My sister always prepares before a dentist appointment and she had a heart operation. She also saves antibiotics dentist give out...and doesn't use them until she has a major surgery coming up as shoulder or knee surgery. She has done well with all three never telling her doctors. She knows her body better than they do...She said one takes antibiotics leading up to not right before.

You are certainly a dear friend.

Every since my husband had his first open heart surgery (1993) He had to take four 500mg of Amoxicillin one hour before dental procedure. That is to prevent any bacteria from breaking loose and getting into his system.

Yes we are stuck with Jay Inslee for a few more months. Hopefully Seattle area has woke up and will vote him out but I doubt it. I was just listening to a local talk radio program and the question was asked if he was going to pay us back for the 4 million he spent on police security while out touring the country doing nothing. He just kept saying he was going to do what Washington Law allowed. That is he have security at ALL TIMES. So in other words NO!
