IT HURTS
My tooth is hurting. As you can see, it is 5:30 in the morning which means the tooth pain has once again awoken me from what I thought to be a very peaceful slumber. But I was wrong, as I have been the past 3 nights. This pain is not just a little pain, it is a throbbing pain that runs from the tooth into the middle of my ear and into the nerve of my eye. Which, if you know me, by now you've guessed that means I am also getting a migraine. This HURTS immensely...I learned from a coworker that you can take 2 each of 2 different kinds of medicine once every 4-6 hours. I did this...2 generic Aleve and 2 Tylenol...it hasn't worked yet but I'm keeping my fingers crossed and waiting not-so-patiently to fall back to sleep so I can call the dentist in the "morning" and tell him how BAD MY FACE HURTS. This is the point in the post where my dad would say "YEAH? WELL ITS KILLING ME TOO!" Ahaha well that was amusing for about 2 seconds. I think the pain is slowly subsiding in my face and settling into my stomach and I can't decide whether the pain being slightly gone is because I am distracted or because it is actually going away.
I took 2 fioricet about 2 hours before I was able to fall asleep...thinking being a PAIN killer it would help. Apparently in its description it is a mild to moderate pain killer, thus not effectively relieving my pain. To be honest, ya know what did it? Me chanting "IT DOESN'T HURT" in my head for about an hour. The ol' "don't think about it" method...actually worked...for a change. Well I think the pain is gone enough for me to fall asleep for another couple of hours.
Fear of calling people BE GONE,as I will be calling Mr. Dentist and telling him this tooth must be gone very soon and until then...Tylenol 3 it is.
