So the root canal pain is totally gone, the sinus infection is still around, I had a severely sore throat on Tuesday so I went to the doctor’s office to get some meds for that and tested negative for strep again.

I had to go back today because I was having trouble with gross goopy eyes. Now I have conjunctivitis. The doctor thinks the tooth, the cold and sinus trouble, the eyes, the weight, and probably the depression are all related to my hypothyroidism and I’m supposed to go see an endocrinologist.

On the bright side I no longer smell pickles all the time.

There was an hour and a half wait in the doctor’s office, even after checking in and seeing two nurses. It was very, very crowded today too. I had a feeling a lot of us had the same cold. We were all coughing and sniffling. They had a television in the waiting room and at one point the tv mysteriously changed channels from msnbc to the game show network.

Despite everyone’s obvious sickness and inpatience we all kind of enjoyed watching Card Sharks and making fun of how outdated the statistics in the polls were. 15% of young boys in a Rhode Island middle school admitted to turning their report card Fs into Bs. 26% of the marriage counselors thought wives tended to be too overbearing. 13% of the high school boys with steady girlfriends admitted that they wished they could date other women. 3 out of 10 women have experienced unrequited love. 55% of the psychologists thought that women would feel more fulfilled with jobs outside of the home. We kind of had fun laughing at it.

Then the channel was changed to some sort of celebrity shopping network and we all went back to being sick impatient grumps.
