Yawning is painful
Reluctant to chew and eat,
Too much discomfort.
Jaw ache forces meTo forget about COVID:Dentist appointment.
After three visits,Masks and hand sanitizer:Diagnosis time.
Machine surrounds me.NOT a pampering facial,The scanning begins.
The images showJaw arthritis is a thing -Why am I surprised?
Nobody 'owns' this,Now to fight the insuranceTo get some relief.
Martini diet?Maybe that is the answer -No chewing involved.
My day has brightened -
Cone flowers have opened up,
'Blazing Stars' are here.
Floating in the dark,
Coyote group howl delights,Comet's a no-show.
A deluge of rainAs I sleep my cares away,A comforting sound.

A whole day of haiku! I hope you are able to get some relief from the pain.
Yes, thank you, it has been much better since diagnosis - I was given a flexible bite splint to try, and it's made a HUGE difference. Plus, I was reminded not to eat/chew the things that exacerbate the pain. So, steak is out for now :-( I'm much happier now that I know what I'm dealing with.
