Will they really bring Wisdom?

Wisdowm Teeth are overrated, I think. The hurt like crazy and cause all sorts of problems, not wisdom...lol... Seriousloy, though, they do hurt so much. My bottom ones are coming in now and it is not a pleasant experience. On the other hand because of this and what I think is an allergic reaction to the wonderful mold that is in our building I got to experience the NHS, National Healthcare System. I was able to go to a doctor on campus, for free. I was also able to get a prescription for an antibiotic, for free. I guess if you are a citizen it isn't really free because you pay higher taxes, but to me it is free. I think a lot of people take advantage of that while they are here. That can be a bad thing, especially if they don't realize what goes into a nationalized service like that. I do like the idea, though. I am not sure how easy it would be to implement in the US, but I definitely think once it was enacted, it would be well worth the hassle. People who are sick should be taken care of. They already have enough burden being sick, then having to mess with paying tons and tons of money for doctor's fees and medication. It is just outrageous!!

Aside from the politics of the situation, I am finally feeling better after two nights of no/little sleep and much throwing up. The medication had a bad effect on me because I had not eaten much the days before due to my teeth being sore. I was taking the medicine on an empty stomach and it was causing my stomach to cramp up. It was probably the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. There was nothing that would ease it and I couldn't sleep because of it. I would start to fall asleep and wake up with a pain and then try and thrown up. It was plain misery! Thank goodness that has passed! I will say one more thing, the convenience of being in the US is definitely something that we all, myself included, take advantage of every day! I never realized how easy it was to get things done or get ahold of people in the States. I was sick and didn't know what to do. It was a little nerving. I got it figured out, though, and now I know what to do in the future. That is what this trip is all about, I guess, figuring things out in a new environment!
