alexxkayThe other night, I got home to find ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kestrell complaining about both a migraine and the fact that the Evil Hum had spread to her room. It's not as loud as it was before the pump got swapped, but it's quite pervasive.
I'm rather at a loss to know what to do. When the plumber left last time, he didn't have any clear course of action for 'next thing to try'. There was some vague discussion of finding the pipe where the vibration is starting and clamping it down better. Unfortunately, it's almost certainly inside a wall, so that could be a major operation.
When I'm in Positive (or Wishful) Thinking mode, I think that our current hypersensitivity is caused by our other health issues, and once they are dealt with, the Hum will cease to seem Evil. In Kes' case, the migraines (I picked up the refill for her migraine medication last night), in my case, the ongoing jaw pain.
I haven't mentioned the jaw pain lately because I've been in denial. "It's just healing slowly," I told everyone, including myself. I think it was even true for the first few weeks after the wisdom tooth came out. But for the last few weeks, I haven't been able to detect any physical progress with my tongue, and the pain has been ramping back up.
As I write this, I am on my way to an oral surgeon to have it Looked At. This is not the one who was out in Guam, but a new one I am seeing for the first time, who is on the Green Line. He came highly recommended, and I hope to have a good experience. Certainly he has a good person manning the phones; she asked intelligent questions, gave me directions without being prompted, and managed to get me an appointment on roughly 24 hours notice. More updates later.

Good thing I allowed lots of time. Red Line is "experiencing delays due to a disabled train."

Feh. The doctor was very personable, and very efficient, but not actually very helpful. The jaw pain comes and goes, and it was mostly absent when he saw me. so he basically said "Give me a call next time you get pain during working hours and we'll try and see you right away." Le sigh.
On the plus side, he took an x-ray and looked around inside my mouth, and said everything looked as he would expect. I asked him how much longer I could expect the healing process to take. Apparently, around *six months*! Amazingly, no one had yet bothered to mention that to me. Gahhh...
