Anyone ever had a wisdom tooth infection/issue? - Mood:Good

Wednesday November 18 200911:35:47 AM |

What does it feel like? I think one of my wisdom teeth is infected or something. THey've been telling me for 17 years to get my wisdom teeth removed or someday I'd get a massive infection but I'm so scared of the dentist I've only been twice in my adult life - both times they scheduled me for oral surgery but i backed out both times. Sometimes they hurt when they move, like once every couple years they must shift and it hurts for a couple days then goes away. But I've had this for almost a week and it's not going away. It feels like there's a huge lump there, I can feel it when I swallow. But I looked in my mouth and everything looks normal. If you've ever had an infection or issue, what were your symptoms? As soon as I can get the insurance info from my husband I'm calling this awesome dentist 'spa' where you get massages and stuff, should be less nervewracking.

What a f*cking way to wake up - Mood:Overwhelmed

Thursday November 05 200911:37:44 AM |

So I just get up, a bit late cuz it's the first day off I've had in ages, and there are a ton of texts on my phone from the middle of the night. So I called my sister and found out the deal ... my stepbrother's new wife, so kind of my stepsister, tried to kill herself last night. She took a bunch of pills, wrapped her rings up for my stepbrother and wrote him a note and her parents a note, then went to sleep. He came home to find her seizing on the couch - she had 7 seizures just on the way to the hospital. So now she's in a coma in ICU. It's bad enough the doctors have told my stepbro that he has the make the decision to pull the plug if it comes to that but he won't. Neurogolist is coming in a couple hours to see if she has brain waves or whatever, we'll know more then. WTF. I've been pushing her away cuz of her drug use, now I can't stop crying.
