clock starts Sept. 18th-ends Sept. 20th
Well, if your son needs a root canal
and the local dentist can't do it
you have him fly home
(cheaper than the local endodontist)
and as Meredith says
"let Ron work his magic"!
So, Steven flew into Spokane on Friday
at 11:10 PM
fast drive home with catch-up conversation--
Home and in bed by 2:00 AM
-sleep-
(a little)
Saturday morning, up and at the clinic by 10:30 am
3 HOURS later:
The amazing completion of a perfect root canal !!!
Oh boy, Michael and Jacob would have loved to watch this one!!
It came complete with oozing pus
and the replacement of the crown
chipped by the "other" dentist!!
Afterwards, FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL
watched UW BEAT USC
(go Huskies--a win--finally!!)
flipped channels to see the Utes lose to Oregon
(bad day for MTW)
flipped again to see WSU beat SMU --YEAH!!
(remember kids that's the name on my diploma!!)
And then watched BYU forget to show up when Florida came to play--
so sad--
But thanks mom and Bob
for letting us take over your living room floor
due to Direct TV messing with Versus!!
(don't get me started on Direct TV!)
Then Steven met up with friends
--Byron and Kristie--
attended the Sausage Fest
and THEN came home
for favorite salmon dinner
at 10:30 PM
(usually our bedtime!)
brought back memories of
waiting up for our children--
no matter how late!!

after dinner, some father and son bonding--
watching . . .
a very concerned Tim Gunn!!
So, bedtime was late--
Sunday morning came early--
up and on the road by 4:30 am
driving back to Spokane...
catching the cheapest flight back to Dartmouth
And this is how a medical student travels...
with TWO backpacks!!
Saying goodbye is always hard,
even when we will see him again soon.
mother and son....
father and son...
then walking away--
back to his REAL life--
back to his amazing wife--
Us?back to bed....
oh, wait, it's Sunday--
hurry back for 9 am meetings
and a very loooooooong Sunday!
whew, a fast, fun 30 hours
love it!!
Somehow I missed this post earlier. Thanks for taking care of him. We are so lucky to be related to dentists. Steven appreciates you even more now! Hopefully he can return the favor and fix your eyes/throat/bones (or whatever he chooses) someday.
