When it rains...
it pours. Okay, so the start of the summer has been eventful. First I get shingles, then my dad ends up with melanoma, and then today I had to have a filling replaced. The shingles is getting better, but maybe I just haven't noticed it as much because my fucking tooth has been killing me. I mean totally excruciating. Now I know why they abuse people's teeth as a form of torture. There is no other pain like it. Not even childbirth. Not that I'd really know since I had epidurals, but I did go through labor and those pains and the pain of c-section recovery and getting cut on when the anesthesia wasn't working, etc. Anyway, the left side of my mouth is still numb so I don't know if it will hurt as bad after they have been poking around in there. I hope not.
We are all extremely relieved that my dad's cancer has not spread to his lymph nodes. He was really worried. We all were. He'll have to get rechecked every 3 months now. Tomorrow's his birthday. I'll be taking him out to eat and stuff.
I hate that all I've had to talk about lately is bad stuff. Life comes in cycles, so maybe it will swing back up now. I hope so. I hope everyone else is having a much better time of it.
