Somebody shoot me... Please

Why is your mouth hurting?

(guessing her abscess toothis acting up...)

OK, Heph-y.

Many of us have been there.


In the morning, or, afternoon, as it happens, try to find some other way to wail.

Jog, swim, throw pots, dance, walk,

Drunkouttamind - which many of us understand - is in the way.

It's even in the way of ever having a nice glass of wine without going zonal.

Stop with associating obliteration of concern with boozing.

Call the dentist, day or night, there should be an emergency service.

Agree with you, RP..

Have been there...uninsured with a bad tooth, swollen face on a long holiday weekend.

Keep a bag of ice on the face to keep the swelling down. That will help reduce the pain a bit. If you have them, take a sleeping pill to keep you knocked out until Monday when you can get to a dentist without having to pay emergency freight. Don't drink. All that will do is add the pain of a hangover to the mix. You REALLY don't want a dentist to be drilling on or pulling teeth while you have a hangover.

WAKE UP HEP, you're dribbling on your keyboard.

Someone I know used the emergency dentist in our area once. He was about 80 and stabbed in the wrong place with the needle due to his shaking hands!

WILSO!

Get off this computer right now! Don't you have better things to do?

where is that damned Omsig. Never around when you need him.

I don't know what I was thinking last night. It's just a tooth. No big thing. Thanks for your responses though.

Feeling any better by now?

OK, glad to hear it!
Made an appointment for the dentist?

Hey bohne. Yeah. I'm feeling a little better now. My tooth is down to a low throb this morning. I had a feeling this one was going to go too. I had the dentist check both teeth before he pulled the other one to make sure he was pulling the right tooth. He told me it was definitely the other one, but this one was soon to follow and going to need a root canal. Ever since he pulled that tooth I have been able to FEEL this one. No pain. Just extremely aware of it's presence in my mouth. Until yesterday that is. I don't have insurance right now and I don't have the money for all this. I really don't.

At any rate. I just wanted to apologize to you all. After reading what osso wrote here and snood wrote somewhere else I realized what a down hill slide I am on right now. I didn't mean to drag you all into this. I'm sorry.

BANG ! ! !



(I hope you're happy now, Miss Eppie--i'll have to live with the guilt the rest of my days!)

Cute set. Very cute.

Please DON'T apologize. We are here for you. We have all had our bad moments in life, and it is nothing to be ashamed of.

Thank you phoenix. That means a lot to me.

The dentist, poked, prodded, banged on, and blew air on the tooth and says it's fine. He said it's a natural reaction for the tooth to be that sensitive when the one next to it was pulled? Ok. The pulled one is healing "beautifully" he said. It's all a matter of time. The pressure in my jaw and sensitivity in the tooth should go away as the other continues to heal. I don't know about this. I've only had one other tooth pulled before this and it was immediate permanent relief. A little discomfort for a few days, but then it was gone.

So... I'm going to try not drink any more sugary carbonated drinks for a while. They told me I only had to wait 3-4 days to drink them. I waited five just to be safe. Heh... yeah... That's the only thing I can think of that could have triggered the reaction yesterday. If it somehow got down in there because of the hole I still have in my mouth. Oh well. I just hope he's right. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.
