So, yesterday, don't ask me how, something :: popped :: in my jaw on the left side. The result of this is that I cannot bring my teeth together without pain and cannot properly align my mouth at all.
I am hungry, but cannot eat anything (last night's dinner had me in tears).
I have an appointment with my awesome dentist this afternoon, something I've been meaning to do anyway (I also made an appointment for a cleaning on Tuesday while I was at it). I don't know that he can do much, I hope he can. There are some composite fillings that he's probably going to say need to be replaced.
I'd relate all the attendant drama and trauma of trying to determine what dental/medical plan I'm on, but I'm not ready to relive it just yet. Suffice it to say that, despite the 8-million envelopes this company sends me each week, I've never received my health cards and had, until 35 minutes ago, no idea what health plan to which I had been enrolled. Don't even get me started on the "open enrollment" from last year, of which I was not aware until the DAY AFTER the deadline... which explains why I have not clue one about my coverage.
Anyway, thank the Spirit of Meg that I am covered by a dental plan of which my dentist (who, did I mention, is awesome?) is a "preferred provider."
Ow.
pain,
