After approximately four hours of absolute agony my toothache has finally eased off a little, so I'm posting about it on GG&J because I want, no, I NEED lots of sympathy.
I'm going to waffle on for a while. Please feel free to skip the rest of this post and reply with your sympathetic posts underneath.
The pain came from nowhere during my submits earlier on, and gave me searing pain unlike any pain I've ever felt in my life. Eye-watering pain, temporary-blindness pain, pain to such a monstrous degree that I left Mrs Gary a note on the desktop of my PC telling her exactly what had happened, and what meds I'd taken just in case she found me passed out on the couch or something.
Trouble is, like so many Brits, I've suffered through a very bad dentist, in fact I've had two nightmare dentists.
There isn't a man alive that scares me, but put me in a small room with a guy in a white coat and strange sharp metallic "picking" instruments in his hands and I'm a total pussy.
The first bad dentist removed a wisdom tooth when I was nineteen and totally butchered me, leaving me with a pretty bad phobia.
The second, ten years later, only had to check out a small issue in a back tooth and ended up completely fucking up my life, leaving me a jibbering dentist-avoiding wreck from then on.
The second dentist has since been dismissed and is no longer destroying people's mouths. If I met him today, knowing the pain he'd caused me, and that his "work" has caused me right up until now, I'd remove his fucking eyes with a spoon and feed them to stray cats.
I'm not joking.
Okay, I'm tired now and it looks like I have some time to sleep before the pain starts again. Lets hope it doesn't wake me up. You know your toothache is going to be a bugger when it wakes you up in absolute agony and doesn't give you a chance to consider what to take to combat the pain - you're screwed as soon as you open your eyes.
I've finished fishing for sympathy now.
Thanks for listening. I'll be back here in a few hours looking out for those kind & caring replies.
Hospital tomorrow. Gotta get this fixed.
