I am feeling so weird and yucky right night now. Yesterday my tooth started killing me. I've been kinda struggling with it for the whole week but yesterday was just unbearable. So my dentise called in a pain reliever and antiviotic. Little did I know this pain relieve was comparable to oxycontin (sp) I took one at 1 am and I'm still feeling heavy all over. I don't know if I like it but if I don't take the pills I"M in soo very much pain. Well, guys i'm out I'm just too out of it to type.
Jess, it sounds like you need a root canal done on that tooth. Can't your dentist see you today and begin the process? I'm sorry you're in so much discomfort.
It's rainy and gloomy here too, but tomorrow is supposed to be better. I can't believe May is almost over. For me, it's the month of the year with so much promise, and once we hit June, summer is all but upon us. And it goes by so quickly. sigh
Plans for today are to get the usuals done early, then take my mother to the Jones NY outlet for a few new outfits. The petite sizes there fit her well, so with any luck it won't be a torture session. I'm no fan of shopping for clothes.
well last night I went and hung out at a girl friends house. Tried these apple Smirnoff ice things and drank way more then I should have. Good thing they only live around the block. It was nice to kind of just let go of everything but now I have this headache. Good reminder of why I do not drink.
Its rainy here too, I had wanted to take jolene swimming but that won't happen. And digging in the yard is out of the question too. Ugh
Oh thanks you guys. I was able to get an appt for Monday. My dentist wasn't even in the office. He went out of town for a graduation (I think that's what Floyd said). I have a new found admiration for him because he took time out of his special plans and talked to Floyd personally and got my meds so that he can probably pull the tooth on Monday. It's the tooth that I was saying had the cavity but we were going to wait becasue he didn't think it'd cause me too many problems, and he'd just pull later on down the road. Well I'm thinking it should be pulled like now! lol
Kae, I know everyone freaks out at the word root canal, but I'm serioulsy in the thought that if it makes me feel better .. Go for it!!! Do they usually do a root canal as well as pull the tooth or is that a measure they usually take to save it, because i honestly don't wan tto save the tooth. It has a cavity and he told me that since my mouth is so small and my jaw bone comes down right in front of it there's no use in trying to fill it, not to mention he doesn't think he'd be able to becasue it's so tight back there. He did say that there's a ver good possibility that if he removes it my teeth may spread a little on top, which actually would be very very good. My teeth are so close together i can barely floss sometimes. I must admit though that I'm a bit upset that he didn't want to pull it before instead of waiting for it to get infected and absessed. If there was no harm in pulling it .. grr oh well no use worrying about it.
I just took a half of my pill, and I'm hoping it takes enough of the pain away because I just felt awful after taking a whole one. On the bright side.. my trainer has been wonderfull about all of this. Usually you can't miss even one day, and she told me that considering the circumstances if I had to miss it'd be just fine. I was putting off going to the dentist because I was so worried about losing my job. I'm so happy to know I'm with a company that is not heartless. Some companies would just cut you and say so long.
I do think I've kinda figured out another reason why I was in such bad shape. One of the guys in class was nice enough to bring this Red Cross tooth ache stuff. It was strong. Worked for maybe just a few (more than the orajel did) but I think I may have been allergic to something in it. I was feeling so nauseated but now I'm better.
Uhoh lol I'm feeling a tad hyper now .. must be the meds .. it beets groggy though lol.
OH!!! I forgot to mention that we spent a half hour in our basement last night. Very bad weather here. Thank God I was coherent enough to keep the kids calm. It's funny it's like the mom switch clicked in and as soon as the sirens started going off and the sky got green I felt fine. We got the kids downstairs, and calmed down and then it wasn't until everyone was calmed down and back upstairs chilling out that the grog came back
That MOM switch you mentioned was adrenalin, Jess, That's why you felt so coherent, and as soon as the crisis passed, you got groggy again. Handy little thing, adrenalin, non?
Nice employers make for happy employees. Thank goodness you have one, Jess!
Jess, as far as I know, a root canal saves the tooth, but it has to be capped. I think the nerve beneath the tooth is removed, leaving a "dead" tooth there. They are no picnic for sure!! It can take hours and hours sitting in the dentist's chair which in itself is horrible. But if you're okay with having it pulled out, go for it! I think much depends upon where the bad guy lives in the mouth, how crucial it is to grinding up food.
Which also kind of begs the question of why on earth we have wisdom teeth come in when most people have to get them removed!! It's almost a rite of passage now!
Yeah I have no problem having this thing removed. Especially since it will always end up getting worse and worse because of my jaw bone. It's goign to just end up decaying in my mouth and that in itself seems just nasty! I havent' got my wisdom teeth yet, so maybe by having this removed, it'll make that easier .. ok yeah fat chance lol, but a girl can dream he he.
