Monday, 20 March, Tucson to LAX

I have a dentist appointment and Mom is ready to go home.

We got up at our regular time and Mom and I packed up to fly away.  

We had a little breakfast and then at at 10:00 headed to the airport.  A Southwest sky cap met us at the street and helped us get our luggage inside. I gave Rob and Bella big hugs goodbye and then went on in.

We checked our bags and got a wheel chair for Mom and headed on thru security. No one helped us through the gate, so I pushed Mom in the wheelchair while she pushed her walker along in front of her.

We made it through security with ease and headed over to our gate.  We stopped and bought water and a sand which for the flight.

Everything went smooth until we arrived in LAX.  We didn't have a wheel chair waiting, but someone did finally get us one, but no attendant to push her.  So, again, I pushed while she pushed her walker.  As we were looking for the elevator someone said we couldn't be doing this on our own, and I explained that we were given the chair with no assistant.  So, as it turned out, he was the department manager and took us to the elevator and down to baggage.  He parked Mom and then he left and I went to retrieve our bags.  Now, we have a big problem.  We have to get back upstairs and out to the street to the Uber stop.  We have Mom in the wheel chair, the walker and two roller bags and no one to help us.  Finally, after about 20 minutes someone came to help.  She took us back up and all the way out to the Uber.  Somehow I screwed up the Uber summons and had to do it again and after about 20 more minutes we finally got picked up.

By the time we got to the Teton, got everything inside and got Mom squared away I was late for my 3:00 dentist appointment.

I jumped in Rob's car and headed off.  I called the dentist and told them I was running late so them moved my appointment back a half hour.  As it was, I was still 10 min late even for the later appointment.  But, not to worry.  We picked out the type of temporary plates I wanted for my missing teeth, the took the casts of my teeth (three times on the uppers) and I was finally sent on my way.  I was starving.

I headed back to LA.  Mom was happily waiting and hungry so we headed off to a nice Italian Restaurant in El Segundo and had dinner.

We picked up a couple bottles of wine, a white for her and red for me and a bag of ice and headed back.  

We watched a little TV while sipping our wine until bed time.

I slept on the recliners again.
