Welcome Jennycah!
@Ayes- Nooo! But then it couldn't be any worse than normal… Wearing suit pants and a brown peacoat on Friday out looking for new shoes and on hearing what size I take the guys asked me "would that be a ladies size?"
I hadn't realised the average lady was that ugly here. No wonder I like America better ^_^
I didn't go to the wedding afterall in the end. Had an extreme migraine, vomiting, the whole lot. Been in bed for… well, from 7pm on Friday till 10 am on Sunday. Had a severe one of Thursday too.
But this time it was preventable because It know it was caused by a problem with one of my crappy wisdom teeth that needs to come out NOW, but I'm too afraid of that procedure and the expense…
But if this continues at this level of badness I will just have to get it done. fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
Well… if I had the money I'd fly over to Aussieland with a huge pair of pliers in hand so I can take care of that wisdom tooth, Ozone… and I can guarantee that it will come out… one way or the other… Even if it means dismantling the jawbone to get to it…
I wonder if the old "tie string to tooth, other end to door, then have friend shoulder rush the door while the other friend holds you" trick will work…
Ah.. the Record of Agarest War. This is gonna be a long game. And to get the "True Ending" for the game I have to get to the end in less than 500 turns (or battlepoints labeled on the map), and the decisions you make during the cutscenes decide on which path you take. And with 5 generations of heroes, that's 100 turns per generation. I'm only on the first generation and I'm at 52 turns already… This game is gonna get harder later I bet…
And now I'm off to work… again… I hope I don't end up like I did last night… domestic dispute between a girl and her obsessed exboyfriend who I called the police on. From personal experience he's probably gonna be back and will probably try to assault me before trying to get his girlfriend back to him, so I best make sure I can defend myself…
Well Oz if it helps I just read a news story this morning about a 24-year old guy who died because he needed to get a wisdom tooth removed but he didn't and then he couldn't afford the antibiotics so it got infected and made his brain swell and he died.
So I think you should stop being a baby and do it!
I had to get all four of my wisdom teeth out at the same time. It was my first time with general anesthesia – so That was weird. I came to in a tiny dark room and they had packed my mouth with gauze so it took awhile to understand several Wheres! and Whats!!
And then I came home (still living with my folks) where two rottweilers also resided. Now these 2 dogs were extremely loving and gentle, and I assume they were guarding me. But I was laid out in a recliner and each one was on either side, grinning those dog grins and licking their chops. It didn't take long before I had to get my Mom to call the dogs away
Yeah, there was a little pain – moistened tea bags, oil of cloves, and tylenol helped a lot.
So on the scoreboard: we got some disorientation, some dogs who were way too involved, and a ittle pain. On the other side: brain swell and head pop.
you decide.
I remember when I had mine removed. I was in high school. I started speaking Spanish when coming out of anesthesia…and I don't know Spanish. I was soo trippy that my parents gave me my Christmas presents early to calm me down. (Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy X).
Then there was that one time that I had a tooth extraction and almost slapped the dentist…fun times.
I just decided to apply for studying in canada for half a year. I told my family and friends and EVERYBODY tells me it´s a good idea. My friends and family want me to go to the other side of the world for half a year. I´m so loved,,, :P
Are there any canadian people here that can tell me something about daily life in canada?
Even if you learn nothing in the study programme, it's great to go someplace new and experience a different culture. :]
I had my wisdom teeth out when I was like, 14? I had to be put under because 2 of them were impacted. So yes I was acting very weird when I came out of it, and pretty much only ate chicken stock for like a week, but it was no big deal, just kind of a funny story later. My root canals were far, far, far worse. A huge, painful, expensive ordeal. All because I didn't catch them soon enough and they got super infected literally overnight. I am super paranoid about my teeth now (still pretty bad about flossing tho).
Still scarred.
I read about extraction. Apparently it's much harder when you're older, they have to remove bone.
Remove bone.
I've booked a consultation for this afternoon. I'm seriously thinking that antibiotics might be better. I HATE dentists.
Hate them.
They inflict pain and make you feel like it's all your own fault. I want antibiotics. I don't want people sawing out pieces of my farking jaw in order to remove farking teeeeeeeeth.
My sister got it done when she was 16 or something. She was sedated in hospital. She screemed obcenities at the staff constantly, they didn't like her much. Her face was swollen up like a football when it was over, she looked hillarious…
The memory doesn't make my options seem any more appealing.
Antibiotics please.
Also: http://www.teethremoval.com/death.html yay
Will still get painful headaches. :)
I've booked it for tomorrow. Under anaesthetic. By god I am dreading it!
My reasoning was partly akin to your own Lonne in that all the wisdom teeth have cavities and occasionally/eventually cause or exacerbate infection of various sorts, so removing them will remove a vector for painful infection, but more importantly it will be cheaper and less painful in the long run because single extraction (for each tooth) under anaesthetic beat multiple fillings any day!
All the wisdom teeth are through apparently. None are impacted, from what they saw. All the roots are normal just like any other tooth… I've been told that extraction will most likely be just the same as any other tooth, so no exotic bone cutting or digging to find extended, weirdly shaped roots etc. …unless one of them breaks, which it may because it's in a bad way, then things will not be so smooth.
oh dear. It happens tomorrow.
Oh dear.

Teeth are too much trouble and digestion and excretion are better left alone. I would rather do without the entire process.
Just drip feed me or something. maybe convert myself to solar- like a rattle snake. if I only had to deal with one meal every 6 months and spend the rest of the time lying in the sun to fuel up I think that'd be a fair trade.
Then there's worthless stuff like little toes and pinky fingers who's only purpose in life is to be smashed or painfully bent.
Being human sucks.
You are weird. Pinky fingers come in very handy for that last, lightest grocery bag, or for picking your nose.
I am glad to hear that your wisdom teeth won't be as complicated as you feared, though. :] I am pretty lucky and have teeth that are good at mostly keeping themselves in good shape (all my dentists say so, it must be true!) but I still have the nightmares where they crumble apart one day.
I use my pinky finger to hold open the right side of books.
Ozone, a tip: it's almost always a bad idea to look up medical stuff online. All it'll do is freak you out.

I'm working more days than anyone else at work and have less hours. I have no idea why I always end up with all the short shifts, but after today I start two weeks without a day off. I enjoy my job but I can't help thinking how nice it would be to have a 9-5, Mon-Fri job.

I have to know what I'm up against. I'm still shit scared, but emotional arguments and gentle advice can't sway me either way mainly because I'm so scared, I needed more logical pros and cons to tip me in the right direction-
- The idea that having the teeth out is the only way is wrong. The alternative is antibiotics, anti-inflamatoriies, and painkillers. Then get the cavities in the wisdom teeth filled since they're all viable, fully out and not-impacted.
That was info that I NEEDED to know and no one was telling it to me straight.
- The problem with that approach is that fillings are more painful and more expensive and would have to be done more than once since there's a reason those teeth got cavities to start with (hard to clean). And will probably get infected again…
-So when I'm allowed to weigh the alternatives, THEN I can decide that extraction is good for me.

@Hippie- Mon to Fri jobs are great but routine kills your brain. It really does eat into you :(

YO! Oz!
How's this: you are Too smart Not to do this. The fact is: It's not going to go away.
The second fact is: It WILL get worse.
The third fact is: you do it, and I can start sending the radio play in.
Yes, I could start sending it Tonight, but I'm holding it hostage until you get your dentistry done.
hugs & kisses . . .
