my health ... what is going on?!

I went to the dentist today to get the wisdom tooth situation checked out. Turns out that I ALSO need to get several teeth cleaned and filled, because if I let it go unchecked, I could need a root canal! It's $120 per tooth. And then I probably need to get my wisdom teeth out, which will be $350 per tooth.

I was a bit grumpy at the dentist actually, thinking of how I could balance this cost out against the cost of travel - will be paying off my plane ticket tomorrow! At the dentist, I was pleading my case, saying "I'm a student, I can't afford this now!"

Also, Soph, Jules and I have to get vaccinated for our trip against:

Hepatitis A ($88)

Typhoid fever ($52)

Hepatitis B ($27) - although this is only transmitted through blood or sexually, if you were in a car accident etc it would be helpful.

Tetanus ($10) - only if you haven't had the injection in the last 10 years. (Have I?)

Malaria - get a prescription for tablets, Doxycycline.

And get Gardasil, as I've mentioned before. And also I think I need to get vaccinated against adolescent diptheria.

And also ... I GOT MY THREADLESS SHIRTS TODAY!
