Wednesday, December 12, 2012 You didn't tell me!!!!

A beautiful sunny morning, and a beautiful pleasant Mac, as the sun always makes him happy. We enjoyed a great breakfast, with lots of joking and pleasant conversation, especially about our Mischa who also was in a super good mood, purring and he too seemed to blossom into a pussy cat rather than a tiger with the sun rays coming through the window and on the patio where he also spends so much time.  BUT, and there is always a but...today was dentist day...

And as the clouds rolled in we had to get to the dentist.  Although I did mention to Mac that WE were going to the dentist..somehow he got the idea that this was just for ME.  I blame myself entirely for the fact that when changing venues, or having anything different happening to Mac or any one with The Big A.  it should be well explained, but in this case I was not  thinking, and when the dental technician came to take him in for teeth cleaning, I should have gone in with him.  All seemed to be fine, and I perused magazines and recipes quite happily, until i realized they were taking quite some time. 

Brandon our grandson who was driving us had to be home shortly, so I started to wonder what's going on.    When I checked it seems that the dentist had to take some time as his teeth and false teeth both had a problem, one a big cavity, and two his bridge was too loose and also needed a good cleaning as well.  Well to cut to the chase, when he came out after one hour he was furious - with me -  first i hadn't told him he had to be seen by the dentist, and second, he would definitely not pay a cent..then when i finished with the dentist the receptionist, said in a lovely loud voice,  'now how do you wish to pay for this Mrs McConnell, well that's when he lost it....The air turned blue with his swearing, and i was to blame and in a way i was, This will definitely be something to remember...of coure to me every 6 mos. dentist, it's a given.  BuT for him well, of course not...

Not to mention when it comes to $$$ Mac is really insecure, and can't stand to spend a cent.  So once home, he swore i would never take him for a ride like that again.  Sad to say we have to have a ride like that again, but hopefully he will be well prepared.  And hopefully this sad situation where he yelled you didn't tell me..will be forgotten, along with the clouds..and we'll have the sunshine again   g'nite.
