Long day.
Up at 4:30am.
Crappy nights sleep.
Toofache. Damn thing hurts, too.
Arrive at work and begin making calls to oral surgeons because my dentist is on vaca.
Their motto, “We’re not happy, until you’re not happy.” I’m not happy.
Mission accomplished.
Get pissed.
Wait on customers.
Boss comes in and asks what’s wrong.
Bad toothache, I say.
Boss picks up phone and calls a customer that just happens to be a dentist.
Send him right over, he says.
Boss points to the door.
Off I go.
Needles, X-rays, shiny steel implements of torture designed to rip tooth from bone.
Nice.
Open wide. Anxiety. Eternity. Blood. Pressure. I’m shaking.
Pop. Relief. More blood, less bone.
Back to work.
Fast asleep on the train home.
Going to bed right after I post.
How was your day?

  Gees I’m glad I didn’t read this before going to bed last night! I would have had bloody nightmares…hope it’s feeling better now. Our day is only half over so ask me at the end of the day, but i’ll be doing a feel good friday post anyway!

  Doing much better, thanks, Kell.
  Up too early again, though…

  Ouch! I had a root canal done on Tuesday and am just now beginning to feel better.
  Hope you get a good night’s sleep.
  Good night’s sleep, just went too damn early.
  I’ll catch up on comments while I have the time.
  Thanks, Deb.

  Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! I hope you got something good like Hydrocodone or something. Feel better!

  A lot of people asked me that, Lass. “Did they give you anything for pain?”
  I guess truth be told, I never asked. (duh!)
  I do have a fairly healthy stash of 600mg Ibuprofen.
  I am doing better, thanks.

  That pic gives me the willies.

  Me, too, Fuzz.
  That’s  why I posted again so soon.
  Didn’t want to keep looking at it either.
  Quite nasty.
