I’ve been kind of out of it for the last couple of days. I’m not sure what’s going on with my mouth but I managed to chip a tooth somehow and it’s flared up a little. I’m taking antibiotics and popping aspirin as though it’s candy but the pain is growing to be nothing short of completely annoying. Based on knowing this kind of pain, I’m almost certain that one of the nerves are exposed OR it’s an infection considering I’ve had some pretty nasty headaches for a few days prior to this even blowing up the way it did.
And the antibiotics? Forget it, I’m having the strangest dreams that are beginning to freak me out. For some reason, one of my dreams was of Princess. She was walking up-right and actually holding a conversation with everyone in the room. Being as she’s a dachshund, she couldn’t see over the lower-counter in the kitchen but this didn’t stop her. I’m not even sure if I remember the other ones, I just woke up with a really strange feeling taking over me that I certainly didn’t appreciate.
I just hope that by the time this really starts getting to me, I’ll be off the meds and won’t have to worry about it. I’ve also noticed another abcess coming back which makes no sense to me considering the root canal I had on it not too long ago. I’m just going to need to find a dentist down here that doesn’t over-charge with a lack of insurance. The guy I was going to back in NY has been a family doctor for many years, actually I think it started with his Father so it may be even longer than I think. I know my aunts been going to the same place since she was a child. But for a full root canal and temp filling he only charged me $120. Even with insurance that would have easily cost me a few hundred so I was certainly very pleased, and pain free at that. Now the filling is acting up, as a temp filling would of course. I think I’m going to have to head back to NY and see if I can get two teeth taken care of at the same time.
I’m to a point now where I just want to rip them all out considering how much trouble I’ve had with most of them. The thing is, it’s a family trait (dad’s side). We all have very soft teeth that are easily damaged but biting into a burger or something. We never understood why, we just know it costs a lot of money to keep them from all chipping in half and eventually falling out of our mouths completely. But for months I wasn’t have any trouble, I chipped this one a few nights ago on a piece of broccoli and it’s been bothering the crap out of me ever since.
I’m just getting around to comments now, Shauna I’ll email you within the next half hour. I’ll return everyone else’s when I get the chance, which more than likely won’t be until after my face stops throbbing.
