A BAD DAY YOU SAY



I think today I've had one of the worst days I've had for a long time.

I had a restless sleep due to an aching tooth which I had broken at dinner time the night before. It's an old root canal I had about 12years ago, all the fillings have fallen out and I'm left with a gaping hole, that I cannot ignore. I thought when they did root canals they removed the nerve making the tooth dead and painless - WRONG!!

After waking up my stomach started to gurgle and I was having colic like pains, it felt like they were running the Grand National Steeplechase in my abdomen. Without going into details, once I sat on the "throne" I couldn't get off,consequently I was late for work on my busiest day - payday.I am not exagerating when I say I could not stand still long enough on the scales to get a weigh in - so it will have to "weight" until next week.

In my haste to get out the door, I had a mix up with my morning medication, and as I could not remember what I took I didn't take what I was supposed to, like my pain meds for my arthritis. God knows what I took but I was spacey for half the day, I know it wasn't the pain meds as I was stiff and sore all day. I am praying every ones pays are OK - Ha ha!!!

I have an appointment tomorrow morning with the dentist and I will be telling her to give me my options and the cost first, then I will make the decision. The last thing I want is to pay out hundreds of dollars on a tooth which is unsalvable. I'd rather get it taken out,it's a back molar so I'm lucky you can't see it. Can I tell you I hate dentists, I would rather have a pap smear by a one armed Gyno with Parkinson's disease, than go to the dentist - I am a big chicken.

I feel like the mouse in the picture below - I'm screwed!!!

Poor sweetheart. That was a bad day. Gosh!!! Apparently with root canals, they remove the main roots but they are hundreds or thousands that are too tiny to remove. Hence your pain now I guess. I don't mind the dentist but I HATE the astronomical cost of getting anything done. I have to say in a contest between the dentist and gyno, I'm going dentist even with the expense. LOL!!!

Hope you get non-expensive relief soon.

Ouch to the tooth! I had a root canal years ago that played up on and of for years and I would get swelling and pain. In the end I told them to take it out.

Not a good day for you!!

Aaawww [[Hugs]]
There is absolutely nothing worse than a toothache!
My mouth is a mess, i have cavities between all my teeth that will just cost way too much to fix. That comes from brushing, but not flossing i guess :o(

I was shocked by that mouse picture. I found it gross and offensive. The dirty little bastard!

I like your "Watch it drop" thing in the sidebar. I think i'm going to steal that idea, thanks :o)
