Hey Dale:
You've certainly got several stressful things going on at once and the stress itself can increase pain, as you know. As for the remodel, I've been there, done that and about to do it again--just think of all the things that didn't go wrong (such as finding termites, woodrot, etc when they opened your walls or delivery of the wrong appliances, etc, etc). It will end and you will have a great new kitchen to enjoy. As for your dentist's passing away with no provision for referrals: professionals here are now required to have written retirement/death plans. But at least you were able to find a dentist who could accommodate you.
I am not minimizing your stress: I am going through working on several important projects all at once and it is truly mind-boggling and overwhelming and makes me think I am becoming ADD--so I have some hint of what you're experiencing!
Venting helps! Hang in there!
Barbara
