Pain pain...horrible pain.
11 years ago
Gee...haven't done a new journal in a long time. But I decided that this was important enough to let friends know what is going on.
Let's get the main part out of the way. For a long time, I have had...FOUR wisdom teeth. It has been discovered that one of them has not only gone rotten, but it is broken a little...and is infected and has infected my gums also.
Just a little while ago (though the ache still lingers) I had a session of about 30~40 minutes of absolute agony. It caused my entire body to shake and be wracked by the pain.
I am on antibiotics, I had JUST seen the dentist yesterday. The tooth cannot be pulled until the infection is fought back with the pills.
But wait, it gets WORSE. The antibiotics are to last for 5 days, taking 2 a day.
So I should get my tooth pulled a day oir two after they end and thus it is only a week...right?
...Nope. I saw him Friday, I won't see him again for the removal until NEXT Tuesday. So about...9 days waiting and it is pulled on the 10th day.
I can only hope that I will survive through this ordeal...and I speak of my mental state, not physical.
Because after a total of 3 of these sessions of absolute agony (one long back, the second was the day before I saw the dentist and the third was just now the day after I saw the dentist...) I'm not sure how long it will be before the pain breaks me or causes me to become desperate or irrational.

I know excatly how much pain you are in right now as I was in the same situation as you only a couple of months ago
I had different treatment and the pain afterwards was so debillitating
I feel for you Sil and wish you all the best
*Hugs tightly.*
That really must suck big time... I hope you're able to pull through this horrible state.
I know I ended up waiting a bit too long to get my wisdom teeth removed, until they started causing constant jaw pain from trying to come out. Not as bad as getting them infected though. ._.
"A wisdom tooth is mere proof that the wisest thing to do is have it removed the instant it is discovered."
And I have become wiser from this. The other three have to go too...ASAP
