(no subject)

Well, it seems that what I'd thought to be TMJ-related might be a root canal problem. Either due to a capped tooth not having a root canal (it's happened before - and wasn't very painful) ... or a failing root canal.

In either case, I've been in some major pain - and all I've gotten for it is Penicillin, and its *lovely* side effects, as well as a recommendation to see another dentist about the root canal.

So, the other dentist may not be able to see me until tomorrow at the earliest - provided that she takes my insurance. I'm spilkes waiting to hear the verdict for this one. And yes, I've been in pain all weekend.


Worst case scenario: failing root canal in a capped tooth - I'd have to see a specialist, and possibly get a new crown.

Still bad scenario: root canal needed in a capped tooth. Been there, done that. Only in that instance, I had an abscess. No fun. But, little pain.

Weird case scenario: the pain is from a sinus problems that aren't rearing their ugly heads yet.


Somebody send me Vicodin. The Aleve isn't doing much - and I'd like to eat People Food, dammit!

babelfish.com doesn't have that option yet

This is how I read when I'm trying to communicate with someone, while in that lovely post-seizure state. Yes, this is an e-mail that I'd sent to Kellie, after I had a seizure at work:

Post-Ictal:
Hi just when I though that things couldn’t go any worse better – I had ended up having a seizure at work. Which would explain why I’m having spelling … I’m doing okay – except for the headache, and having bitten my headache. :(

And no, I don’t think that the medication has failed – unfortunately, there’s not much that can be done about my seizures.

English Translation:
Hi - just when I thought that things couldn't get any worse, I ended up having a seizure at work! Which would explain why I'm having spelling troubles ... I'm doing okay - except for the headache, and having bitten my tongue. :(

And no, I don't think that the medication has failed - unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about my periods.

Thankfully, we're having a sense of humor over everything, especially the "having bitten my headache" line (my personal favorite). Also, Kellie noted that there were no spelling errors - just lots of grammar issues, obviously.

And aside from the bitten headache (or headache and bitten tongue, rather) I'm doing okay. I came home and took a nap - perhaps I will write more about the incident when I'm feeling more up to it.
