112 today!
We were up early this morning and stumbled into the garden, looking like zombies. I let the watering system run, hoping it wouldn’t wake up the neighborhood with its loud gurgling. We were out the door at 6:45 am and driving with the speed of a snail on vacation to my dermatologist in Los Alamitos. Who knew dermatology appointments could make for such a thrilling morning?
Dr. Newman had his trusty nitrogen bottle in hand, and Mary pointed, and the good doctor went into action.
Liquid nitrogen is a cold gas with a temperature of 196 degrees below zero Celsius (-321 Fahrenheit). It is used to freeze and destroy superficial skin growths such as warts and keratoses. Liquid nitrogen causes stinging and pain while the growth is frozen and then thawed. The discomfort can last minutes to hours, depending on the thickness of the lesion.
We departed the office at about 7:30 am and met with Vicky at Hoff’s Hut in Los Alamitos.
Hoff’s is a beautiful place to dine, adjacent to Old Ranch and the freeway!
We had an interesting conversation about children “throwing out their parents.” The three of us understood what that meant but didn’t realize it was so prevalent.
Our favorite waitress was on duty, and she rolled by to say hello!
Merrily, we roll along, roll along, roll along!
After breakfast and two cups of coffee we split with Vicky returning home and us heading to Orange.
Finally, my heart got started!
On the way home, Dianne called, and David took a turn for the worse, so we had Precious speed up. We flew by the house, picked up The Silver Fox, picked Dianne up, and headed to the hospital.
The new gate was installed while we were changing cars, and we told the guys to take care of the vicious dog, Scout.
It opened and closed with ease. The old wooden gate was bye-bye!
There was a parking spot right out front, and we were up on the third floor in a flash. The crisis had passed, so we stayed around until the transportation folks arrived to take David to a hospice facility.
Mary and I returned home and quickly cleaned the house because Domi and the crew were coming to clean it at 3:00 pm, and then we headed to the new facility.
We stopped at Del Taco for some grub for us and Dianne and then went to the hospice house. David had just arrived and was getting settled in when we showed up.
We stayed until almost 6:00 pm. Robin had just arrived at our house, but she had the keys and made herself at home. We got there a few minutes later.
We visited with Robin and made several calls to friends Mike and Bridgette, Pam Reed, and others. We were exhausted, so it was early evening!
Just before hitting the sack I went to the web si see when it was going to cool down. Yikes, three more days of this crazy heat!
It’s a hotter Sunday than today! Oh My!
