kitanzi: (bad day - iconomania)
[personal profile] kitanzi
Yesterday, I had a sore tooth. It happens every so often, usually seems to mean something got stuck irritating the gum. I am a little extra careful in brushing for a day or too, and it goes away. I figured that would do it this time, and basically expected it would be much better this morning.

Instead, at 2am, I have a dream that I've bitten a sliver of glass and guess what - it comes complete with drastic pain for a special effect. Wide awake, I find the Oragel left from ACat's tooth adventure last week and slather it on. The whole side of my mouth goes numb, but that so special "bit a piece of glass" feeling is still there, so about 2:30 I take one of the pain pills left from ACat's prescription (for the record, this is basically generic Vicodin, heavy stuff) and manage to get back to sleep. 5:00, just two and a half hours later when the pills should be full strength, it happens again. Wide awake, serious stabbing pain, and I can't be sure because I was asleep, but it felt like there was a small crunching sensation just before it hit. Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Don't ask me how long it's been since I've been to a dentist. Just don't.

As soon as his opens, I'm calling and begging for an emergency appointment. I don't know what this is but good god it hurts. I'm guessing a cavity that maybe just hit a nerve. I really don't know, I've never had a cavity (that I know of). And of course, I can't take any more painkillers until I find out what they need to do.

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

So, I'm distracting myself by all reasonable means available, including whining on LJ *sigh*

Well, I got lucky and they weren't impacted. I think that would have gotten them yanked very quickly. The dentist actually seemed quite surprised that all four roots were intact - which made it MUCH harder to pull the damn thing out. I am SO thankful for drugs. LOTS of drugs. Drugs that will let you cheerfully watch the dentist walk away and tell you he'll be back in a few minutes because he wants to let that ligiments loosen up after he tried to pull the tooth out!

Gah. A surprising down side to your genes. A laughing Universe's idea of yin and yang?

Yes, pain meds and anti-biotics are wonderful, but do tell me you're not getting
behind the wheel for a while.

May relief be yours.
