Apr. 12th, 2005 11:19 amWell, I thought I was going to get into the dentist today. When I called this morning, to find out the status of my insurance confirmation ... I found out that my "emergency" had been pushed up to Thursday.
The antibiotics are helping some (side effects be cursed), but I'm still in considerable pain - even taking three Aleve, twice daily doesn't help all that much.
So back to Square One. Look on the Provider List for a dentist that is near the office and hope to G*d that (a)they're taking new patients; (b)they can get me in *this week*; and (c)they can do a root canal - or refer me to a dentist that could do one, if needed.
Thankfully, I was able to find a dentist that could get me in today. Originally, it was going to be this afternoon, around 2 p.m. - then it changed to Noon. So, I'll be spending my lunch hour getting checked out. She can't do root canals, but if nothing else, she can at least examine me, and see what's going on - and determine what type of specialist I'd need to see. Maybe even prescribe something stronger than Aleve for the pain.
And a P.S. to yesterday - I've decided to start calling my post-ictal (or, post-seizure) state The Yoda StateTM, since I'm about as articulate as Yoda on his best day.
