I had a dentist appointment today. My dentist is in Dearborn, so I had to drive really far. My dad did fill up my gas tank for me though, which was great. gas was $2.37! It was exciting. When I say things like that, I feel old. I remember listening to my grandparents discuss gas prices just a couple years ago and thinking of how it showed their age. I'm too young to be concerned with showing my age, right? Anyway, the dentist appointment was at 4:00, and it was supposed to be a cleaning. They changed their minds though, as they do far too often, and decided to schedule me to come back in a couple weeks for a cleaning, and instead just pull my remaining three wisdom teeth today. They made me really numb, and this was at 4:00, and my lips and tongue are still somewhat numb. Medicine hates me body, and therefore doesn't do anything that it's supposed to do. I took vicodin 750, prescription 800mg ibuprofin, and four 200mg ibuprofins within an hour, and nothing happened. I'm not tired, I'm not "high," and I'm still in pain. It's not horrible, I have a high pain tolerance, but I wouldn't mind some relief.
I finally talked to someone about some things I needed to get off my chest. I feel much better. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day. I feel like it will be. I don't know what's with the optimism, maybe it's the pain meds beginning to kick in...but whatever it is, I'm okay with it.
