COMMENTS: Dr. Vesper was up at 10:30, had his morning meds with breakfast. After breakfast, Dr. Vesper relaxed in his recliner until it was time to get ready for his dental appointment. I assisted him with shaving, showering and dressing, he also had a quick manicure. We left at 3:30 for his appointment with Dr. Seibert. His old crown had been off so long there was some gum damage that had to be surgically repaired before the permanent crown could be put on. We got home around 6 PM, but he wasn’t able to eat anything until almost 8. Dr. Seibert suggested only soup tonight, I did treat him to a chocolate shake from McDonalds. Dr. Vesper watched TV until bedtime. I did the dishes and set the table with AM meds and breakfast for tomorrow. He took his p.m. meds and I helped him change into PJs and get into bed.
