Being..

...an expert at having teeth removed i just KNEW that this pain i was still experiencing wasn't normal. I've had A LOT of teeth taken out including all 4 wisdom teeth and even they didn't hurt as much as this one. So when i was getting electric-like-shocks through my gum/side of head and ear, something had to be wrong.

I walked into the dentist today and waited for around 50 minutes before being seen, and as soon as i sat down, she prodded the gum (which hurt MORE than the tooth extraction) and i was swiftly diagnosed with 'dry socket'.

She rammed a piece of gauze (i think) into the hole, which had an antibiotic on it and clove oil from what i could taste and i was sent away with another 7 days of antibiotics. Lovely.

Fingers crossed the pain starts to subside soon.

Dilemma...

I don't know what to do... So confused with it all. I have just called the boyfriend after not speaking to him since 8 this morning (he's off sick) to see if he was okay and i got ANOTHER mouthful... WTF?? I simply cannot do this any more. I'm fed up, the only thing is that he's helped me so much with getting out, if i end the relationship, i'll be back to square one, on my own with no one. *Le Sigh*

The last month...

Over the last month i have been diagnosed with severe anemia, had my 39th birthday, school broke up for the holidays, i stabbed myself through the finger with a dinner knife (not even a sharp one), but deep enough to have all the fat tissue hanging out, shave off the top off my little finger and have a round of botox and fillers............. That's all.
