Pain sucks
I spent the first half of the day at the dentist office. The toothache started Friday… it was unbearable by Saturday and I had to pop Vicodin and Motrin like it was candy to get through the whole weekend including Easter. 
This tooth is the ONLY tooth I’ve ever had a cavity in. I got it filled when I was 19. A couple years later the filling cracked. They re-did the filling. It cracked again a couple years later so they did a root canal. Now here it is seven years later and it’s infected according to the dentist today. He numbed the entire left side of my face and filed the tooth down to “change my bite”. (The tooth is the second one from the very back tooth on the bottom.) He prescribed antibiodics and more Vicodin and told me to see a specialist asap to be sure the tooth isn’t fractured. He said he didn’t think this problem is related to the fall but he can’t be sure.
I asked why they can’t just yank the damn tooth out. It has been nothing but trouble for me in the past and now this. (I’ve never had a toothache like this before.. it’s OMFG painful!!!) He said he’d hate to do that since I’ve got such great teeth. Blah. To me that’s all the more reason because this is awful and this really is the last thing I need to deal with right now! Oh and apparently while I was numbed I bit the crap out of the inside of my cheek.
I guess it’s true that things happen in three’s. This is the third thing to go wrong with me health-wise in the last month. It can stop now…. *nod*
