I am in a definite MOOD today. Smart assed, snide, snotty, up in the air, goofy – quite the combination. Read some tweets by a popular actor, one of my (former) very favorites and didn’t like what he posted so I basically tweeted back and asked him WTF his problem was. I imagine he’s offline now, so I’ll check back this evening to see if I get any type of response. He may have been tweeting in an altered state, so I’ll keep that in mind.
Dental visit on Friday was a FAIL. The DDS couldn’t sedate/numb the root of the tooth at all so I walked out with a temporary filling laced with an agent designed to either kill or sedate the root. Feeling some aching in the jaw now so I don’t think it worked. I go back on Monday to give the DDS another try at fixing it – root canal, of course. If they can’t get it sedated to the point where I feel no pain I’m not sure how we’ll have to proceed. I tried to encourage the dentist to pull the fucking tooth, but he wouldn’t do it. Said it’s too close to the front of my mouth and the gap would be visible with every smile. Can’t have that now, can we? SHIT
Anyway – this is a new dental office for us and I have to say that I really like the dentist they assigned to me. He was quite pleasant and funny, very talkative, older gentleman. Beats the damn assholes I’ve gone to over the past 10 years – those that want to fuck up my entire mouth and fill it with porcelain veneers. Bullshit! Those things look like goddamn chicklets and I have one in the front of my face to prove it. I hate that tooth with a passion. The new dentist said that he will petition the dental insurer to see if he can be allowed to replace it with something more natural looking. The temporary cap that I had there initially looked fine – blended in perfectly with all of my natural teeth. Why couldn’t they just leave that in there? Dumbasses… Oh wait! I know why they couldn’t leave it! Because they wouldn’t have been able to collect the $850 fee connected to the veneer.
Feeling OK as of late – other than the damn tooth that has been acting up since March 18th. Alternating antidepressant med dosage day to day – some days I take just one, some days I take two. I’m actually supposed to take 3 each day. That’s way too much and made me feel more depressed than ever. Less is more in some instances.
Still haven’t heard back from the liver doc. This is OK since I’d really like to get this tooth mess out of the way before taking on major medical treatments/drug regimens. I’ve recently read of two spontaneous remissions on a hep C board. If only I could get there.
DONE (for now)
