I'm not sure what happened with that big jump Apr 8 - Apr 14. There is a pool of cases not allocated to counties so maybe they've been allocating them.

My dentist has finished doing his thing. I see the oral surgeon on May 1 about that root. My tongue feels better now that the permanent crowns are in.

I got the CT scan. My pulmonologist looked at it and said nothing appears to have changed although the official report wasn't available yet. The Thoracic say one of the larger nodules appears to have shrunk. He didn't have the official report either but said everything else looked the same. I get to this again in three months.

My generator is acting up. About a week ago it shut itself off and sent me a E2800 error code. There was a tech here the week before to do yearly maintenance so maybe there's a connection? Anyway, I checked and the code is triggered when someone turns off one of the two emergency switches, I went out to check and reset the unit but the tech had locked the top.

So, I went to look for the key. I found what I thought was the key but it didn't fit. I spent the next half hour looking around. Finally, I thought about it and decided this had to be the key. I went out with a flashlight this time and discovered that you had to push down on the front of the lock in order to get the key in. Both emergency switches looked closed so I reset the unit and it came back up. It ran its weekly maintenance check two days later and seemed OK.

Unfortunately last night it happened again. I reset the unit but then three hours later it happened again. So I left it off and called the electrician this morning. They're sending someone to check tomorrow.
