They say "No pain, no gain!" Really??? In this case, I have been in a lot of pain for the past 3 days and it is all because of my apparent gain in wisdom... wisdom tooth that is. And on top of everything, it is a useless one (or so the doc says) because of the weird position it is in. The only thing that it is doing right now is butchering my cheek and the lower gum because apparently it decided that wisdom was to be served sideways and in the most awkward and inconvenient place possible. They will remove it tomorrow, but me, being the coward that I am, I am extremely freaked about the whole procedure. I hate needles, I hate dentists and I have fainted at the sight of my own blood. So, all around, tomorrow will be an interesting day.

OUCH! I hope everything goes well tomorrow!
aeryn! you are the coolest! i wish i was friends with you in real life!!
and tooth pain of any kind is the worst, i am an expert on every thing that could ever go wrong with teeth since it has all happened to me :( but i feel your pain!! i hate that you're really going through it! but once you get them out, it will seriously be soooo much better. and they'll give you medicine, so make sure you take it, and on time, too, because if you don't it will wear off and you'll start feeling pain again! also, for the digging into your cheek and tongue part, i usually get a piece of gum and chew it and them press it down all around the tooth so it acts as a shield for the gums...which really works! or if you have/had braces, ever, they give you that weird wax stuff for the same sort of problem, and that works too...but i will definitely be thinking about you tomorrow, and it will all go well, so don't worry!!!
<3, angelica!
Angelica, you are so sweet!
Thank you so much for your encouragements. I know somewhere in the tiny tiny rational part of my brain that it will be better, but hearing it from someone else is really helpful. I will give the gum thing a try right now. You are a genius! How did I not think of that. And BTW, I think of the internet as part of real life, but I know what you mean... It would be really cool if we could actually hang out. Well, you never know... I will be moving soon (to the NE), maybe somewhere not that far away from you...
HAHAHA i know, the gum thing is something i figured out after YEARS of tooth pain! i hope it is working for you! and i am totally wishing you good luck today because even though all dental procedures suck, i promise that afterwards it will be SO much better. seriously!
