6:30 AM and I've been up all night with a toothache

[Khephra]

Kill me.

Please.

I'll even pay you for your effort.

(I've got an appointment next week...it's just making it until then that's a bitch.)

1. Man, you need some codeine....

Sorry I can't provide it, but why not call the dentist and see if he/she won't script out something?

[Khephra]

2. Oh, I have some vicodine to take the edge off

But you have to be careful to never take too much of that shit. Last night was a vicodine night, but it still wasn't enough. Right now it feels like someone is drilling in my head.

Oh well, I see the dentist Wed. so it shouldn't be much of a problem for too much longer.

3. Probably a result of all

those Freeper prayers to take away the Gipper's pain and inflict it on all we evil liberals!

Just shows you're a good librul! Take care, Ice packs?

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. That sucks

Sorry to hear it, Khephra. Best wishes to you in your pain.

[Khephra]

6. At least it's the weekend

Time wasting is more apt on the weekends.

5. Thanks for making my allergies feel better

I've been miserable for over a week and unable to sleep more than a few hours at a time before the congestion and wracking cough wake me.

But tooth pain trumps everything. I'm guessing that this is the kind that doesn't respond to topical numbing agents? :( Long hot showers help ease lots of different pains....good luck.

[Khephra]

8. Nah, not the easy type

Lets just say that having a universal dental health care system would be one of the first things I'd institute if I ever held office.

I was born with a mouth too small for my teeth. :shrug: It could be worse...I could have been born with something really seriously wrong with me. I count myself blessed that teeth problems (and being overweight) are the worst things I've had to deal with in my life.

7. Are you kidding me? Next Wednesday? I'd be on the phone with

every dentist withing a 50 mile radius til I found one who would see me right away. But, that's me.

[Khephra]

9. I'm at the point where they have to pull multiple teeth and refit dentures

Not so easy as getting one or two teeth pulled.

[Submariner]

10. "Is it safe?"

I practice amateur dentistry on weekends....PM me for an appointment.

11. suck ice

(not trying to be a smart ass... :evilgrin: )

seriously, if you don't have pain meds, can't get to a dentist sooner
try sucking on some ice

it numbs it, but the drawback is once the ice is gone the pain comes back...

[Khephra]

12. I'm on meds and ice

So I'm pretty ok. The worst part is my brain. I'm awake, in numbed pain and as a result unable to to concentrate on anything.

So I'm just sitting around staring at the walls right now, with a bit of pain in the background.
