Finally a little bit of good news

I saw a local maxillo facial surgeon today, one of the numerous physicians I am visiting of late. She told me that I would need the wires for 6 weeks (i.e., an additional 4 weeks). Since I had previously been hearing 8 weeks, the possibility of two fewer weeks made me downright gleeful.

I offered to pay her a trillion zillion dollars to remove them today. No such luck.

I am amazed how healthy you need to be to be sick. Everyday brings a new series of physician visits, phone calls, and paperwork. Dealing with the bureaucracy alone is staggering. My wonderful surgeon in FL has been promising to fax my records and disability forms daily. I have yet to receive anything. I feel great empathy for folks without the love and support I receive from family and friends and without good insurance.

Between this, and 2 hours to eat yogurt, and not being able to breathe...no wonder I'm exhausted by about 8 PM every evening.
