Cinco de Mayo (life updates)

I'll finally have my chest access out on Tuesday. I'm no longer afraid of bleeding to death (hehe, that was always in my head).  However, I was talking to a med tech who told me it can leave scars, like on the heart muscle or artery/vein, which becomes a future problem.  I am susceptible to scarring.

My bro will have hernia surgery tomorrow.  I need to remember to give him a call.  For all his recovery, he has cancelled his stay with me for the end of May without chance for travel over the summer.

This week I lost my 2nd adult tooth.  Whereas the first one was in a location that my only option to replace it is an implant, this one is in a location that I can get a bridge.  Since it's mid-year, insurance probably won't pay for the 50% I could have gotten if it were a new year ($2000 max/year). I don't think it'll help to wait because #1 the insurance didn't renew contract with my dentist, so he will be out-of-network within a couple months, and #3 I hope to be retired before end of the year.

Edit: I missed by one day.  It's supposed to be "May the Forth" be with you.
