Health/Dental Care

Floss if you want to keep 'em.  I saw this as a subtitle on some woman's blog the other day.  I didn't read the blog, but I thought this was an amusing phrase.  Since out of work, one of the things I have been doing is getting tuned up.  Going to the doctor and dentist for all the things I neglected while on the job.

I have been to the doctor and dentist more times than I can recall in the past two and half months.  Today I had to go to the dentist for an emergency appointment.  It is a good thing I got insurance after I left my job.  

But let me tell you, it is not a pretty picture.  No siree.  Expensive as all get out, this insurance.  What a big chunk of monthly outgoing cash.  A very frightening scenario not to have it.  Yet an an impossibility for some to have.  A terrible situation.

I will keep flossing.  The very strange thing is I had a toothache for a few months for which I thought I was going to have to have a root canal (I have been avoiding this like the plague).  It has miraculously diminished in pain today.  Maybe paying homage to the dental profession has given me a reprieve. . .
