Whinefest

A month ago I started having horrible pain on one side of my jaw when eating, so I went to the doctor, who sent me to a Ear, Nose & Throat specialist. After three weeks of agonizing jaw and ear pain, today I was so happy to skip into the specialist's office and have them wave a magic wand and make it all go away. lol. delusional i was. so after asking me if I knew i had a deviated septum (no...but okay)

anyway, he said exactly what the first doctor said (your bite is screwed and you've injured your TMJ) and told me to "eat soft food". then he suggested that I go to a dentist for a bite evaluation, and see if they needed to take corrective measures.

I've been pouting all afternoon. Why do i even go to doctors? what is the purpose of all this expensive technology that they possess? why can't someone scan me or shoot me with a laser or something? Now I'm supposed to go to a dentist for which I have no insurance and it's not even guaranteed that they will be able to help.

On the bright side... maybe this is a blessing in disguise. if all i can eat is soup and juice for the rest of my life, I'll surely lose some weight!
