I'm going to be missing at least part of my day at work tomorrow....*grumble*


There's been this plastic syringe thingie on the coffee table. There's lots of crap on the coffee table though, so I sorta ignored it.

My mouth has begun to hurt more, not less, especially on the bottom, especially on the bottom right. Although oddly enough, only after I woke up and ate. I looked at it with a flashlight, and oh dear gods it's nasty. A huge gaping hole with black and white stuff in it. Plus, my mouth tasted really bad.

So I figure I've got dry socket or something. I call them up, and they ask me if I've been cleaning it out with the syringe. *headslap* No, and nobody told me about it, I've just been rinsing my mouth out with salt water. Hell, my mom just told me yesterday that I have a followup appointment. She asked me when it was in this conversational tone, and I had to tell her I had no idea what she was talking about. Turns out I have an appointment on the second of September. No offense mom, but anything they told us after I woke up, I don't remember.

So, feeling like a fucktard (and realizing that [livejournal.com profile] zeeohee was right) I went upstairs to attempt to clean food particles out of the gaping hole behind my molars.

Nothing would come out. So I took a really soft toothbrush to the spot, and it hurt so bad I got shaky and started to cry. Tried spraying it out, and while the nasty taste came out of it, nothing else did except a little blood. Looked at it with a flashlight, the hole is bigger than the last time I looked.

So with shaking hands I call them up again. And now I have an appointment tomorrow at their Glisan office. Meanwhile I have a feeling I'm going to use up the rest of my Vicodin. Oh gods does it hurt. And now I have to call my supervisor and tell her I'm going to miss at least tomorrow from work as well. Bloody hell.

Oweeee!!

EDIT: So I went upstairs after I posted to try again. Well, the stupid syring slipped and I stabbed myself with it, so now I'm bleeding like crazy and I really have cried from it hurting. Plus, I've realized, it's kinda humiliating to realize I have to miss another day of work and have my dad drive me out to Glisan because I have food rotting a hole in my gums. I rinsed with that nasty Rx mouthwash and now I'm tempted to just curl up in the fetal position and never eat again.

I was going to do my laundry and some other stuff today but I really don't feel like it.

Ick.

If it's any consolation, I know someone who actually got an abcess that way. at least for you they can just clear things out. =)

I never had to do the syringe thing personally. *shrug* just lucky that way, I guess.

I might have an abscess. Who the hell knows.

If you can see the opening, you probably don't.

*hugs* hope you feel better soon...
