NYC Cravings and Surgeon Stuff
NYC Cravings
A coworker of mine went up to New York City this weekend for fun times with friends. It's gotten me all wistful about the big city and my friends there. I want to go back again.

Doctor and Surgeon Visits
You know, corporate jobs are supposed to mean steady income, but all I've been getting ever since has been one bill after the other. First the car, then contacts, trips to doctors, blah! I feel just as poor as ever, but at least things are being taken care of.

The doctor tells me to get more exercise (I know I'm fairly active, but apparently not active enough to keep my HDL levels up). So I'm saving for that bathing suit so I can start swimming while I do the laundry (the laundromat is right next to the pool here) and after work.

I have seen the orthognathic surgeon regarding my teeth, but I haven't had the chance to speak with the financial person yet. It'll be rough. It's confirmed that I need upper and lower. She was very frank, and I appreciate her honesty. Upper jaw needs cut in three places. Lower, just one. A year later, after the swelling goes down, I may or may not want to get a little cosmetic touch up surgery with my soft tissues. There's a risk I'll lose all feeling in my jaw if they sever that main nerve. It was a very depressing conversation.

But I press forward still!
