2.5 Hours of Dental Work Yesterday - Mammogram Today - Afraid for Tomorrow! |
|
Edited on Wed Jun-13-07 04:19 AM by REP
Tuesday I had two teeth worked on so they can be crowned plus a filling done and what seems like a zillion needle jabs. One tooth was this -><- close to needing a root canal, so it is still sore as hell.
I get my boobs flattened later this morning. I've had cysts for just about forever, so instead of the 1 or 2 calcifications some women have, I have 25+ per knocker. The tech always looks concerned until I explain my history of cysts. Between that and the flattening - last time there was blood involved! - it's not the most fun thing.
After all this, I think I either deserve to do some shopping ... or perhaps hide under my bed.
edited to add spleen, motherfucker!

That's why I need so goddamned much work done - couldn't afford it for years and years. I'm lucky I still have any teeth left.

My neighbor has an SUV. Hopefully, he will be so kind as to agree to run over my lady-bags.

18. Ouch. . . I had to have a crown, two fillings and a cleaning done on Monday |
|
I feel part of your pain :(. (the boob flattening I will most likely never experience, being a man and all).
My gums STILL hurt from the two fillings (which were both right at the gum line.
OUCH.

20. Oh geez, I wish you guys wouldn't talk about the teeth |

I have to go in on the 29th for a crown and two fillings at the gum line. And maybe be shunted over to the peridontist as well. Ouch.

29. I'm Having Two More Crowns Week After Next; One With a Root Canal |
|
This round of dental work will include: at least two root canals (already had one done); four crowns; a constellation of fillings and a removeable bridge. The tooth that was drilled yesterday that might need a root canal finally stopped throbbing, but that might have something to do with me finally giving up and taking Percocet...

I had a digital squishing, so they were able to tellright away that they needed to crush the right one again a little harder ... Hope your calcifications are like mine: meaningless!

30. I'm so sorry, REP ... but better now than something worse later, right? |
|
Edited on Wed Jun-13-07 04:25 PM by Writer
Preventative care can be a pain.
I haven't started mammograms yet (my doc said I should at 40). Are they as painful as they've been described to me?
On edit: I agree with the spa treatment. You should treat yourself right after all that.

31. If You Have Cystic Breasts, Why Yes They Are! |
|
Though I hear they're worse for women with small breasts, Cysts just make the hooters sore anyway, so smashing them flat in a press doesn't help. I'm in a high-risk group (nullapara, cysts) so I get high-tech smashing, which is supposedly as little worse than old-school smashing. I've had worse procedures, though!

34. They give me ultrasounds... |
|
B/C I'm younger and the tissue is too dense to read properly. Several excruciating mammograms taught them that. Ugh. I need to go again, I'm overdue. The process stresses me out so much, I had to take a break. I'm a hypochondriac (the real kind), and this condition is agonizing for me. :(

35. Digital Is The Gold Standard For Dense Breast Tissue |
|
I'm a nullapara, so I've got very dense breast tissue; a regular mammogram wouldn't be able to read shit. That's why I have to drive to hell's elbow (okay, it's just Santa Clara) to get the digital done, instead of down the street to my regular office!

36. Damn! You Win ... I Think! |

I hope the lumpectomy was a success, and that they don't have to do anymore compressions on it for a while. Damn, that must hurt like fucking hell! I hope it's feeling better!

33. Must be mammogram season |

I had mine Monday.
The way I deal with things like this is by remembering childbirth. If I can do that for 26 hours, I can deal with a few minutes of pain. :D

37. I Pass Kidney Stones Every 30-45 Days |
|
I'm a nullapara, but I think 20+ years of near-monthly stone production is close to childbirth ... except that no one cares if I flush the stone down the toilet!
