...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.

From the mouth of an EX agoraphobic

-
A friend of mine yesterday pointed out what a person had written on their blog about being agoraphobic. Said person is an EX agoraphobic...this is what was said. "Agoraphobia is a selfish state of mind. Its completely "curable", and yet some people just wallow in their own self-pity and will never ever get over themselves and recover. When you are so worried about yourself all the time, how can you possibly be a good mother to someone else? Or a good wife/girlfriend/friend? I've unfortunately been the agoraphobic, and I've been the agoraphobics friend. As the friend, it was miserable. Nothing was ever about anything else but them. It was annoying and frustrating. And completely in their hands to change it, but they wouldn't. Because they're too selfish and self centered. Those aren't qualities people like in a person." Opinions please?

It DID get worse..

...now there's a shocker! I have spent the entire evening in hospital. We had to call an ambulance, these feelings in my heart were insane. I was sat in the back on the ambulance and they did all my obs. I was tachycardic, my BP was really high (usually its stupid low) and my ECG was showing Atrial fibrillation, meaning the top two chambers of my heart are beating faster than the bottom two. I was put on oxygen as well because my breathing was a little bit crappy. The medic man stuck a candular in my hand and hit a valve apparently, my hand swelled up in seconds, it was so painful. Got to the hospital and did all the necessary things and then we had to wait...and wait...and wait. Where they'd stuck that needle in the back of my hand and hit the valve, it started going dead. I couldn't feel 4 of my fingers! I called to get someone to take the bugger out. I'm left with a lovely bit blue bruise this morning. My step-father was called to pick us up because we thoug...
