Well, the trip to ye olde dentist, act one, begins tomorrow, but today my gum/cheek's all swollen up and I'm starting to talk funny and look like a chipmunk, so I heard about sticking a tea bag between your cheek and the affected tooth and let me tell you, those are words I'll preach forever! Granted, I'm spitting this gross greenish yellow spit every few minutes, but the swelling's already half what it was (it's been about half an hour) and now water and my actual cup of tea taste really sweet and good, lol. That's funny, too, because my tea is unsweetened and was pretty bitter up until I started the tea bag process. But apparently tea bags are supposed to be good for drawing out all sorts of infection, so you guys should keep that in mind. They're fantastic!
I'm afraid he's going to shit himself when he sees how swollen up I am, lol. Hopefully the tea bag will reduce the swelling enough to keep him from having a conniption. I've never been to this guy before, but his wife was the head of the children's activities at my church when I was a kid and his daughters were in my choir when I was in high school, so I hope he's nice, lol.
Ah, and I've heard this guy's pretty skimpy on the anesthesia, hotwater, so I think that death by anesthetics is the last thing we have to worry about. Meh...
That's good as long as he doesn't ask you 'Is It Safe?' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG5Qk-jB0D4 h
Haha, well, tomorrow I'm just getting antibiotics. I'll have to wait a whole week for the sexual molestation and death by anesthesia.
Aaaauuuugghhh, well, the good news is I got my antibiotics today, I have a pocket of lovely infection in my gum and it feels SO weird. The dentist was trying to BS me into doing the root canal with the "It's cheaper short term" spiel, but being the witty young person I am, I said, "Yes, but in the long term, I'll likely have a better paying job." Hehehehe, the look of surprise on his face is going to be my joy for the next few days. Anyway, the bad news is the infection is pretty severe and I am highly allergic to the "cillin" family of drugs, so my antibiotics are going to take about two weeks to clear it up. However, there's some good news sandwiched in there, my next appointment is the day after my 21st birthday! Sooo, if I decided to give alcohol a shot again, I could! Haha, I'm happy.
