Well, then [health]

Made it to the dentist this morning. The hygienist was excellent, and my worst fears were not realized. It seems I have TMJ. Knowing this won't make the pain subside immediately, but it does give me a list of things to try out, and the comfort of knowing I don't have any growing holes in my teeth at the moment.

So, whew.

Also, thank you to everyone who chimed in regarding strategies for tackling all the various Adulting healthcare things we have to tackle. More than anything, it helps to know that I'm not alone in finding it challenging to make the phone calls and get things scheduled and whatnot. Good encouragement for me to continue my quest to find a PCP.

...that's what I'm going to call it. A quest.
