Soon All The Pain Will Be Gone-edit-
17 years ago
I'm sure some of you noticed my lack of being online yesterday. You'll have to forgive me. I woke up yesterday with my left cheek swelled up. The day previous my tooth had been hurting, but though it hurt a little more than normal, I thought nothing of it. However, yesterday I was freaked out. My cheek has never swelled up before, during one of my tooth episodes.
I tried to not go into work, but couldn't get anyone to come in for me. One person was home with a sick child, and the other wasn't answering her phone. So, needless to say, I went in. And bawled my eyes out a bit. I had taken Vicodin though. XP So I was sorta stumbling all over the place. XD
Anyway, my mom and aunt were worried about me. So, not even an hour into work, they called the dentist and then got me down there. Turns out I have an abscess. It is on my upper gums around my left broken wisdom tooth. It's location is deadly though. If it were to rupture, it would go to my brain and I would die. Needless to say, they quickly set up an appointment.
So, in about an hour, I'll be going to the dentist and they will be taking my tooth out... Granted I can open my mouth far enough. XD It's been a bit of a problem recently to do so.
But yeah. If you don't hear from me today, it's because I'm recovering from having the tooth taken out. I've taken to dying on the couch most of the day. lol
Edits of Doom!
Soooo... I'm still alive over here! 8D Though, once the numbing shit had worn off I wanted to kill myself. I had a terrible headache.
But yes. The tooth is out. It took maybe 25 mins for the whole thing. Most of that was me talking to the assistant before the doctor got there. I seriously expected something to hurt while he was prying and then wiggling my tooth out... But all I felt was pressure. Thankfully, the infection from beneath the tooth started draining out as soon as they got the tooth out. (which was ugly and bloody, and yet cool looking.)
So, I don't get to swish our spit anything for the day, nor do I get to use straws. But that's alright. I'll just drink my flavored water and eat my apple sauce and chocolate pudding. 8U
The cost wasn't really all that bad either. The exam, picture of my tooth, as well as the procedure only ended up being $190 total. And my meds only cost $34 or so. All of which I'm going to be paying my parents back for. :shrug: Not too bad.
At a later date I may get my other broken tooth taken out, though it never gives me any problems. Still, I don't want another abscess. My cheek is still all swollen, but the dentist said that the swelling would go down in a couple of days. So YAY!
... And oddly my mouth doesn't really hurt all that bad right now. Maybe it's because I slept most of the pain away. Anywho. There's the update. I'm peachy. Have a new hole in my mouth, but am happy that I'll never have to deal with that broken tooth again.
Thank you for the support! I would have commented back earlier if my dad hadn't rushed me out the door. lol!
Love you guys

Good luck with that, hun!
I'm glad it's being taken care of, finally.

And I am as well. 8U I really should have gotten it done earlier. I'm such a dork.
<333
Now... To finish that dang request! lol!
Get well and safely well.

I had a Situation where I had two teeth growing in the back of my mouth. it had caused Abcesses as well as swelling in the back of my throat. I could not eat anything because the teeth, as odd as they were, were stabbing my mouth. At the same time, I could barely breathe due to the swelling.
Get some rest and I hope you feel better.
XD Ahahahahahahaha. Yeah, I think I'm going to wander back to the couch and lay back down. I'm still sorta wore out.
