Hanging out + dentist
Final partial hang-out day.
Taylor and I read "Far From Home", which is the (currently) last of the Alice & Thomas short stories (though I expect there will be more.) Now I feel like I can read Spelunking Through Hell, haha.
My TBR pile is filling me with concern again, ha. I also reminded myself that I'd hoped to read 25 books this year, and I am nowhere NEAR on pace for that. I just keep stalling out and not having much time to read... But I need to pick up the pace to even sort of get close to finishing books I've been wanting and intending to read!
We also played a bit more Nier: Replicant. This second playthrough adds a lot of good context, in general, and specifically for Kaine's (and Emil's) characters. It's good!
I had a dentist appointment at 12:30 to check out the spot that felt weird.
I was right; it was a filling that fell out. (The DAY AFTER having gotten a new filling? Rude.)
My dentist said she could make the time to just replace the filling today. I'd actually been hoping they couldn't, just because I knew I'd be worthless the rest of the day while the numbness wore off, ha. But the appeal of being done and not having to make ANOTHER appointment, and sacrifice ANOTHER weekend to it won out. It really was very quick!
And it worked out okay - despite our record heat (97 today, supposed to be that way for another couple days), we'd hoped to go on some kind of short walk. It's been WEEKS since we got to go do anything outside; every weekend has been taken up with other things. So I was mostly worried that it would sink those plans... but they were sunk anyway, because Alex wasn't feeling well. He's been feeling iffy for a few weeks now; dizzy spells, general weakness and fatigue, trouble breathing. It might be some of the nerve damage in his neck - it's the sort of thing that used to only happen while he was riding, and kept him from doing so sometimes. But now it's happening almost all the time. :/ The need for some really intense, scary, and difficult-to-recover-from surgery looms more and more.
So we came home, I took a mediocre nap for several hours, and he rewatched old episodes of Alone, which is the one reality-ish show that he is very into, haha.
The nap was probably a good thing - I got only about 5ish hours each night while at Taylor's, and it meant I slept off most of the numbness from the filling. But now I have a headache (probably from the dental stuff - the numbing, but also the sound of the drill, even when I don't feel anything.)

This is so distressing, I'm sorry :(
Hoping you get more time to read, and it's good that the dentistry was done with quick.
no subject
But thank you! Definitely hoping for more reading time, and glad the dentistry is done!

Yeah, that's just harsh. :/ I'm glad you were able to get back in and have it taken care of quickly.

The prospect of neck surgery scares me - it's one of those "so much to go wrong" things, but I know it's going to be necessary for him. :(
no subject
That sucks about Alex's neck.
no subject
But yes... the prospect of neck surgery scares me, heh. I know it's clearly reached a point where nothing else is going to help, though.

My dentist said that the ones around the gum line like this one sometimes come out due to clenching or grinding teeth. That's not typically an issue I have, but I kind of wonder if I *did* do that while my face was still numbed up from the other filling - it's a weird sensation and it was driving me crazy, so I kept biting to see if I could feel things yet, ha. I wonder if that's when I knocked it loose.
