Urgh! Ow! Oooooh! My poor tooth! I'm having enough tooth pain that I had to get out of work for a bit yesterday and have my dentist take a look at it. The result? I'm now on Tylenol 3 (with codeine!) and tomorrow afternoon I'm going in to get it, and one of the very back molars, removed. So until I can afford a dental implant, it looks like I'm going to be doing a lot of chewing in the left side of my mouth.
That all by itself is bad enough, but I'm just getting over back pain and yesterday finished my last antibiotic pill for an infection (I won't get into details, but I assure you it had nothing to do with a Norwegian airline pilot named Lars) so you can imagine I'm getting a little tired of hurting. Yes, I'm whining. Yes, it could be worse. I'm still tired of pain.
I'll take full responsibility for the back pain. I sit in all sorts of strange posititions. When I'm at home surfin' the Net, I'll usually be sitting back with my feet up on the wall, which can't be good for an aging spine. There is some good news there, I just found out today. My health coverage at work covers visits to a chiropractor! Why the hell did I not look into this earlier? I've been shelling out money to see this guy, and all this time I could have been getting reimbursed. That is going to ease the financial pain all that much more.
