Today marks the beginning of an entire week of doctor appointments.
It starts this morning with a visit to the dentist to have a tooth fixed. It's one of those iffy deals that hopefully will be just an old filling removed and a new one replaced, but could end up in a root canal - or even an extraction - because of a crack in the tooth. It depends on how deep the crack runs, I'm told, though the x-rays look good.
I am not looking forward to this at all.
The remainder of the week is filled with physical therapy visits, a chiropractic visit, and a regular doctor visit. I also had a mammogram scheduled in there but decided that was more than I could handle and postponed that until after Thanksgiving.
So wish me well as I begin this round of health care visits. Mostly I am worried about the dental visit today; I think if that goes well then everything else will be a breeze. While I generally do well with regular dental cleanings, the fact that the upcoming procedure is not clear-cut has me concerned since I am not sure what to expect.
Getting old kind of sucks.
Wishing you well—and to get well, too.

ReplyDeleteI thought it sounded like a post about open enrollment lol by the title
ReplyDeleteYeah, it does. And then, if we're LUCKY, we get even older! It saddens me to think this is the best shape I will be in for the rest of my life. We should meet for an adult beverage and commiserate. AFTER you quit drooling from the Novocain.
