A bit inactive

Kindness. Sometimes it can be just taking a moment to say something nice to someone--whether it's to compliment their hair or their clothing style--can make a difference if someone is having a bad day. So spread more kind words, make someone's day a little brighter~ Hey guys. Feels like I keep falling in and out of activity on this site (or rather any site for that matter), and honestly I just find it a little hard to work up the motivation to upload stuff lately and I've been more focused on my writing as well as my job.
So a few updates:
o My birthday was two days ago, but due to some issues that came up I wasn't able to celebrate nor come on here to post about it. Didn't think there would be much of a point if I was a little preoccupied.
o The reason I wasn't able to celebrate my birthday was that I had a dental emergency come up that required me to call the dentist the day of. When I was getting a crown fitted for a tooth in the back that had been chipped, they noticed something odd about the tooth next to it and discovered it was a root canal. So we'd been trying to get that taken care of, and this past Thursday I had gone in for my second appointment to clean it out before they could schedule a crown for that tooth.
...unfortunately, there had been some bacteria that remained that got stirred up, and what I thought was normal swelling and muscle pain from having my mouth open for nearly two hours turned out to be an infection--hence, the dental emergency. (Thank goodness I didn't wait until Monday when they were open, or it might've been worse!)
Thankfully the dentist was able to see me on Sunday and clear out the majority of the gook and get me started on anti-biotics, so now my face (which had started swelling like a balloon) is now starting to go back to normal. We'll see how things go though. If all goes well, then I get the crown. If not? I end up getting the tooth pulled and maybe have to get a bridge for a new tooth. X'D
Anyway, not much of an update, but just wanted to let you guys know that I'm still okay even if I'm a little bit sore. XD Hope you guys are doing okay as well and remembering to take care of yourselves!

That would be a good idea, except because the tooth had been sealed off entirely there was nowhere for the infection to go except into my face, hence the need for antibiotics. Another good alternative for if you have a painful tooth is to take a whole clove (just one or it'll numb your whole mouth) and put it against the gum line!
Oh jeez. D: I hope you're at least able to get it treated. I'm sorry about the being put out of work thing. ;;n;;
Oh that's not good for it to not have a way out. Glad I never had to deal with that before. Yup that's another good method.
The hospital I was referred to see a specialist about it will be giving me a call. Hopefully within the next day or two.
I hope they're able to do something. Honestly, tooth problems like root canals and other things like that I would not wish on anyone. DX
I'm sure they'll be able to. Yea that shit is so bad you can't do anything except focus on the pain.
