I think I would be frightened away by that prospect.<BR/><BR/>Although Mark refers to the dentists who quote "£100 just to look in your mouth", doesn't mean they will be nice or even do a good job. <BR/><BR/>And yet the Brits as a whole mock Americans for wanting straight, white, teeth. Have you ever sat next to someone with bad teeth?<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Nikki - hm. Dilemma. My cousin can no longer guarantee the availability of his spare room. Although my cousin in Westchester has a huge house, it's mostly living areas and not near enough to transport.<BR/><BR/>I have a potential landlord in Houston just begging me to get down there.<BR/><BR/>I don't know now...but I have to start somewhere and NYC will be most convenient as I don't have to run out and buy a car immediately.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014351759393921274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083160.post-58026659264532160462008-05-07T16:23:00.000-04:002008-05-07T16:23:00.000-04:00I feel a little bit as though I'd just perused a c...I feel a little bit as though I'd just perused a case study in a medical journal. There is no perfect health care system, but it sure is easier to get dental care here. So do you have a target relocation spot yet or are you just going to go to NYC and wing it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083160.post-16430523788753004312008-05-07T09:56:00.000-04:002008-05-07T09:56:00.000-04:00It is a good thing that you got out of the relatio...<I>It is a good thing that you got out of the relationship with the moody man. That is not really a relationship after all.</I><BR/><BR/>Hey...! {:-(<BR/><BR/>Have a heart, m'lady!<BR/>Actually, I should say, "Look after your heart!"<BR/><BR/>Snooty or not, at least your doctor actually communicates with you. Doctors here in the Land of the Rising Sun are kind of like an assembly line or something.<BR/><BR/>Next! Open your mouth! Say, "Ah!" Hmm. Ah. Okay. You have a cold! Here's your prescription! Next!<BR/><BR/>About the only time you actually get looked at is if you go to one of the really expensive places...like dentists where you are, apparently.

We started out there, anyway, then it rained a bit so we moved under the gazebo. Still outdoors though!<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>LB - you would have perked up if I'd mentioned iPods or lormaikai, right???<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Jessica - you're right. It is the stressful times when I am most reminded of this disruptive interference. And I do need to learn to live with it, and maybe get the better of it, rather than compromise with it because unfortunately it can be enough to hinder me in some of the more demanding things I want to do in life.<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Guyana Gyal - lucky you had a nice doctor to ask you. I kept trying to mention "what was going on in my life" and MY doctor only decided to ask about it, offhand, as I was getting up to leave AFTER my 3rd visit!!!<BR/><BR/>It is a good thing that you got out of the relationship with the moody man.

I haven't had any since, but for a long time worried about having one afterwards. My life was super high stress at the time and has since cooled down, which helps.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to hear about all of your symptoms. We just have to try and enjoy life as much as we can despite the challenging stuff, huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083160.post-37965970250675609642008-05-03T18:10:00.000-04:002008-05-03T18:10:00.000-04:00I read thru about three times, I think, but all th...I read thru about three times, I think, but all those medical terms just swished past by my head at the speed of sound..

Sorry to hear you've had a snooty doctor. I must admit I avoid doctors, hospitals etc as much as possible. Apart from anything else, I resent being kept waiting for my appointment for what seems like hours - however you try turning up 5 minutes late yourself, and suddenly you're accused of being Atiila the Hun and Jack the Ripper rolled into one. Anyway, hope the sun shines on you this weekend!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
