As you all know I turned 35 last year, had a baby, and have been falling apart ever since.

My wrist started hurting in January and was talking about it in front of an anesthesiologist in the ASC. He promptly escorted me to the OR suite next door where a hand surgeon was finishing a case. The hand surgeon did an exam, gave me a diagnosis, and told me to wear a splint while waiting for my already-scheduled appointment with a "grown up" hand surgeon. Took 2 minutes.

This week I have been feeling dizzy (flu? vertigo?) and this morning, walked over to ENT at 8:00, and promptly one of the ENT attendings was doing an exam and a maneuver on me and gave me a signed referral for a "grown up" ENT appointment at OSU, though he thinks the dizziness could also be from neck muscle tension... Took 5 minutes.

I am so grateful to be in the midst of a lot of wonderful, smart people here at NCH and I can only hope that we in Dentistry are as hospitable as others have been to me.

And don't worry, Dr. McTigue -- this weekend the in-laws are in town, so, rest, yoga, and massage are all on the schedule!
