I really appreciate everyone's well wishes. I really need them. I am on the verge of a total and complete meltdown.
First, I spent 45 minutes at the pharmacy arguing with that same, stupid old man that gave me a problem a few months back about the humira. I got the mtx but I believe they wrote the wrong instructions on it. Ok, so I call the rheumy and ask the nurse how much am I supposed to inject?? 1/2 cc or a full cc? Pretty straight forward question but she insists she can't tell me and has to call the pharmacist. I explain as calmly as I could the pharmacist is a clueless old man and didn't even know what mtx was!!! So, I'm waiting for someone, not sure who to call me back before I start it because there's a big difference between 1/2 cc and a whole cc when it comes to a chemo therapy drug!! 
I go back to the dentist this am and he asks if its any better. Nope, I reply. I still can't open my mouth more than about a quarter of an inch. He called the other specialist back and I see him on Tuesday, in the meantime, he gave me a bottle of percocet.
The specialist doesn't bill insurance. The splint is a minimum of $700, I already have the x-rays and the initial consult if another $150.00. Due Tuesday. My hubbys business is very slow and money is very tight. Hubby made me feel horrible for costing so much money. I am going to ask my boss to pay for it tomorrow when he is in. Wish me luck if he won't pay for it, not sure what I will do. In the meantime, pain pills and liquid diet and walk around with a dislocated jaw. 
I work for a small optometrist office. Its just the doc and me. He owns two other offices so is only here two half days and one full day. But when he isn't here people call for appts and to order contacts and people come in to pick things up. If I am not here, the office is closed. There isn't anyone else to work. The other two offices are 1.5 hours away and the girls won't drive that far to work for me. If the office isn't open, no money comes in and he will be forced to close this office and I will be out of a job. So, its come to work "sick" or I'll be out a job.
In order to get disability, you have to be not working and it can take over a year to get approved and you usually get rejected the first time or two.
I'm just on overload. I had to get blood drawn as well today, 4 sticks later and a hell of a bruise. I had to go to 3 different pharmacies to get my percocet filled, you would think the stuff is crack or something. Harley has diarrhea. Oliver is going to the vet tomorrow to get fixed so I'm worried about having to leave him overnight. My hubby is freaking out about money. My boss is pissed because I've been late coming in with the dentist stuff. My body hurts all over and I'm shaky and have had D as well, despite numerous Imodium and narcotics and the fact I haven't eaten anything solid in over a week. I just want to melt under my desk and cry.
