In Marions mail, a statement from the MN Retirement Board, dating her retirement as of Aug 2018 rather than 2017. This might have financial consequences if her annuity of $818/month is contingent on her retirement rather than on her age. There is also a new Blue Cross insurance card for her. Nathaniel came over, stayed for about an hour, told me about his trip and about his plans. He seemed well and confident. I don't know what to think, so perhaps I shouldn't think anything. Thank you again for your advice and for getting the antibiotics. My face and mouth continue their gradual improvement. The toothache is gone; the swelling inside the mouth has disappeared. The induration of the chin has diminished and is neither painful nor tender. I took the antibiotic at 8 a.m. and again at noon, without side effects, and will continue on a 12-6-12-6 schedule. I hope your day is not too difficult.
