tea and sympathy

( or how much does the church urn...
..hold?) 

A bit of a comprehensive health day today. At the doctors early for a healthcare plan review. We covered many issues and worked towards several outcomes. I felt somewhat cheered by his width of knowledge and listening skills, given the range of topics and the issues I came in with.
Then it was the dentists turn for a visit by me. I'm hovering around the edge of a wisdom tooth problem. Turns out there was 'good' news, and bad news. The bad news will reveal itself if the 'good' news doesn't work. But she seems somewhat hopeful, so I'm pressing ahead with the program.
