H o r r o r !
W’kend was a nightmare. As I sit here typing this blog out now, all I can think of is havin’ popped in countless painkillers all thru’out the w’kend. Why? My arch-enemy TOOTHACHE paid me a ’surprise visit’ over the w’kend! Goshhh. . . This time, it was that awful wisdom tooth that was growin’ and the gums surrounding this tooh had become inflamed. *sigh*
I realized that compared to that ankle fracture I sustained last year, this toothache was FAR MORE excruciating! I can’t remember the last time I kept popping pills in as often as this. Those who know me well would vouch for the fact that I’m a HORRIBLE patient and I hate hate hate hate takin’ meds!
The height of horror would have to be last nite. The pain was so awful, I could barely sleep. Yet again, all I could do was helpless cry whilst moaning to Robz that this pain was the worst pain I’d ever felt. Being the loving husband Robz is, he realized that it’s best we go to a hospital !! I never ever dreamt that I’d go to Accident and Emergency department in a hospital for a friggin’ TOOTHACHE!
Felt so embarrassed describing to the A&E staff ’bout my toothache. Thankfully, they showed sympathy and quickly brought me into the room. The attending doctor was tryin’ hard not to smile as I described the toothache. I guess it must’ve been hillarious to see a very animatedly dramatic gurl whining away in pain ’bout a TOOTHACHE! Generally, A & E people are more used to seein’ very dramatic events like a woman in labour contractions, or a man with a severed finger frm some mugging, or somethin’ along THAT line!
Finally, I was given an intra-muscular injection of pethidine. Ahh, that was just PERFECT. In an instant, couldn’t feel anythin’ any longer. Robz took me back home and I remember fallin’ over the bed and next I woke up was today morning. Was given sick-leave for a day.Went to my regular dentist this morning. He emphasized that there’s no way he’d touch that highly-inflamed-gum area at this point! So, another course of strong antbiotics and I’ve to come back on Thursday for the inevitable end —> tooth extraction!
Been tryin’ to sleep, but nope. Can’t seem to sleep in the day. Nevertheless, feel all doped up with strong anbiotics and painkillers.
Hence, I figured I’d come scribble somethin’ ‘ere ‘coz itz been ages since I blogged.
Room’s beginning to spin a li’l. Perhaps I should go lie in bed.
Argh, what a depressing blog entry.
