I hate dental work

sob sob sniff sniff.....groan in pain.

I've had a heck of a day. First found out a co-workers husband passed away unexpectedly this weekend.

Then, I had a toothache in a tooth that I had just put a crown on in the past couple of years. Called the dentist and he referred me to a specialist for a root canal. Well after she hit the infected nerve when numbing me (imagine shooting pain in the jaw) and lots of drilling etc it turns out the tooth is being reabsorbed by the jaw bone (whatever that means) and it really wasn't savable. So she charged me a discounted rate of $250 and refered me to the oral surgeon to have the tooth pulled.

So I get to the oral surgeon and while walking in the rain to the office I slip and fall. strained my ankle a little bit.

When the doctor tried to put the iv in my arm to knock me out he tried twice in the left arm. Hurt like heck and he said that he thinks he punctured through the vein. So he finally gets it in on the right side but kept moving it a little so it hurt like heck.

I had the tooth pulled around 5 today and it didn't stop bleeding until close to 10:00. I've had teeth pulled before but for some reason this one is really hurting me like never before. The doctor did give me some darvocet and that helped but I think it's about time to take another one.

Thanks for listening my sisters. I just needed to vent my frustration and pain since any talking i do right now hurts.

Hugs to my sisters
