"CINCO DE MAYO" "my root canal day"

Well, the dentist done it to me.  In more ways than one.  He kept me in the chair for 1 and one half hours.  He finished the first procedure, shot a couple of xray pics to verify his work.  He did not like it, so after a few minutes break, he started again.  After more pictures, he was pleased with the result. Hooray!   Then came time to check out.  I asked the dentist before we started if the procedure was covered by my insurance.  He told me yes, it was.  Well----I guess I should have asked if it was "fully" covered by my insurance!!  They had me billed for around $300--my portion  not covered by the insurance.  So I begrudgingly paid about one-half of it and they seemed to be temporarily happy with that.  I did not mention when I would pay the rest of it.  Anyway I have some questions on the billing after I got a closer look at it.

I think the temperature was around 95 today.  After I returned from the dentist----I found my spray nozzle for the garden hose in the back yard---attached it, turned the water on and sprayed down the back yard some and then caught up with the dogs one by one and got them good and wet.  Except for Patches, our first owned dog--he hid in one of the dog houses and I did not want to wet the inside of the dog house to get to him.  But I got the other four dogs good!!    Have a good day, God Bless, Grandpa Virgil
