Appointment blues!

I'm feeling fed up today.  Fed up with appointments, and blood draws, and drugs, and side-effects, and doctors and everything...  And right now we're not even cycling!

This month, since my job ended, I've had more time on my hands.  So, I thought it was a good time to "deal with" all the other stuff in my life that has been put on hold due to fertility.  So, I booked dentist appointments, PAP and physicals, eye appointments, and even a meeting to make up a will.  I thought I'd get my yearly dose in a month and it would be over with.  It hasn't proven to be so.

First of all, I got my blood work results back.  Nothing is majorly wrong, but my white blood cells are low, my red blood cells are high, my platelets are low, and my iron is very low.  I'm back next week for a full physical with my MD and starting heavy iron supplements.  Plus my fertility doctor wants a phone consult to go over my results.  I just can't get a break!

Then I went to the dentist and was told I needed a crown on a tooth, and that they would prefer to have it done before the year was over.  So I booked that and went in (I hate dentists!), got high on the nitrous and had the work done.  That was a week ago, and since then I have had progressively worse pain  building in my mouth, spreading to my ear and head.  It gets worse at night and has kept me on Tylenol and Advil all week.  I went in today to see if the temporary crown needed an adjustment and the dentist told me that he thinks the nerve is dying.  So, rather than complete the crown next week, he is referring me for a root canal... more mouth surgery!

I still have to have my eye appointment, and complete our will.  I want a hair cut, but even that seems like a pain.  Appointments, appointments, appointments!  I feel like that is all my life is right now.  And this has nothing to do with all the emotional turmoil I am feeling right now (more on that later!).

There is more to life than this, right?
