When it comes to my local friends, it's probably no surprise to them. I don't really take good care of my mouth, and one of my teeth was very obviously damaged. I should have gotten it looked into before now. But I was busy with work, or had to get some errand done, and I kept pushing it off. So now I've finally gotten a toothache because of it.

Any by toothache, I don't mean Ouch! Toothache. And I don't mean "Oww... how... how...." toothache. I mean, "OH MY FUCKING GOD" toothache. It was easily the worst pain I've ever had in my life. Holy shit... It wasn't as sharp in intense as some other pain I've had, but tooth pain has this quality where it gets into your head and you can't ignore it.

So yeah, I didn't sleep at all last night because I had to keep splashing cold water (weird, but it actually made it better) on my tooth constantly. I called out of work and got an emergency appointment with the dentist. I'm on antibiotics now have an appointment on Monday to get a more permanent fix done. And I'm also on some drugs at the moment that actually make the pain (mostly) stop. Thank goodness for modern medicine!

I've learned a lesson here. Don't fuck around when it comes to your health people! This is an area of your life that WILL fuck you up if you leave it alone. I'm planning to find myself a good doctor too and start a check up routine. I'll probably also be making improvements to my diet and starting to exercise.
