It is still too cold to get plants for the garden.\u00a0 Margaret tells me it needs to be a minimum of 10C at night but I still bought a few last week.\u00a0 My son tells me I will need to bring them inside at night or I might lose them but so far soo good.<\/p>\n

I had, for me anyway, major dental surgery last Thursday and it is still bleeding but of course this is a holiday weekend so I cannot contact the surgeon until tomorrow.\u00a0 Unfortunately I have managed to bleed on the bedding.\u00a0 I am trying to bite on tea bags which is supposed to aid in clotting but I am taking blood thinner so that adds to the problem.\u00a0 No doubt it will all work out and all will be well but for now I am living on yoghurt, ice cream and cool this soup.\u00a0 I missed out on Easter food.<\/p>\n

Update:\u00a0 I went in to the see the dental surgeon on Tuesday.\u00a0 He had Covid so was not there!\u00a0 His assistant and receptionist, with help for the surgeon on the phone, did their very best to stop the bleeding to no avail.\u00a0 After about an hour of working on my mouth I was feeling rather groggy and my heart beat got very low so they called an ambulance.\u00a0 I got a 2 block ride, including a U turn on Broadway, to VGH where I received excellent, though painful, care from a dentist and a dental specialist.\u00a0 It took another hour or more for them to stop the bleeding.\u00a0 Fortunately I had driven to my son’s house and he had taken me to the dentist.\u00a0 He got to spend the whole day with me as he drove me home and returned to Vancouver by bus – it was his birthday!!<\/p>\n

I am fine now – no more bleeding though my mouth is still very tender and I have to live on liquids and soft food for a few more days.<\/p>\n
