I felt accomplished, like this was some significant bucket-list quality feat. The doctor mostly told to me work on my hygiene. This came as no surprise, I led him down that road anyway. I know what my problems are, and I&#8217;m getting around to them. Doctors always tell me my neurology is fine, but that I really should go to a dentist again. There&#8217;s a bucket-list item.
