The tooth that will cease to be
Last night was a night to myself, so I watched "Into the Wild", which was extremely great. I highly recommend it. All the while I'm on a mild percoset high and then take a full dose before bed, read and fall asleep. I wake up at 1 am and am in a little bit of pain so decide to forgo another dose. Of course I wake up at 6 am this morning throbbing and practically crying. There were these incredibly high hopes that this tooth would finally calm down, that I wouldn't have to choose the extraction over the root canal because we just don't have the money for that right now. Unfortunately I have to choose the extraction. I called the dentist and left a message at 6:30 am practically in tears. They managed to fit me in today to get it yanked and I'm so not looking forward to it. I would much rather be knocked out, but I'm tired of eating baby food and drinking meal replacement drinks and the pain is just to much to bear. They had an appointment for May 27, at which point I did start to cry. Sometimes being pathetic can help get you into something NOW. So, I cancelled my three massages this afternoon and will cancel my one in the morning (with high hopes of working two tomorrow afternoon...) and will limp my way home to percoset oblivion after said tooth has disappeared. Thankfully Geoffrey is getting tattooed in B-town today and he and Griffyn won't be back until this evening. I'm dying for a hamburger, just something that I can actually chew. Although I did buy Ben and Jerry's Magic Brownies ice cream last night because, damnit, I hurt! There's some left....
