Last night I fell asleep at 6pm, woke up briefly from 9-9:30pm and woke up for good at 10am this morning. I think that is something to brag about. The drawback: I woke up with a horrific throbbing in my tooth that has been bothering me on and off for 2 months. I'd never had consistent pain, it has been mostly reactive pain from hot/cold things.
By John's urging, I called a dentist right next to his building and went in an hour later. He checked it out and said I had a pretty large cavity and that he would need to take an x-ray. This, of course, wasn't ideal but I also knew that the pain would only get worse if I didn't take action. So he took an x-ray and it turns out that the cavity was extremely close to my nerve; had I waited much longer I would've needed a root canal.
He numbed me and went to work. I was so tense through the whole procedure and when it was finally over I felt awful. My head was pounding and I was STARVING- I didn't eat before the appointment! So we went over to John's and I basically force-fed myself.
It is now 7pm and I am ready for bed. It's pathetic. I am really glad that my tooth is taken care of. One less thing to worry! So I think I really am going to go to bed. I have no idea how I am going to last through the Halloween party my house is throwing tomorrow night. I'll probably be passed out before the first guests even arrive. Good grief.
