I am on Medi-CAL which I'm not sure, but I think we voted to protect it in the state of CA from any hits from the Feds. Honestly, IDK what I'd do without it, cuz even though I see my dr's few and far between, at least I get my meds handled etc.
The dentist is all the way in Folsom, which is an 1/12 hr drive down Hwy 50 over the Sierras...no fun. But I've driven it for over 30 years so it's kinda like my backyard.

I hope you got some relief from the extraction? It sucks so bad when the pain is in your HEAD! literally cannot run from it...my sinus infection was like that last week and I wanted to remove my head completely! LOL

I'm here, and listening if you need to vent :hugs: hang in there hun. You're still here for a reason
