Randomness

Went to the dentist this morning to have the teeth extracted that I mentioned here.  It was supposed to be last Friday but the dentist got sick so they rescheduled for this morning.  He really had to work at one to get it out.  He said because I didn’t get it taken care of 2 years ago that it fused to the bone.  They informed me that he got a piece of my lip and tongue so those will probably be bruised once the swelling goes down.  I’ll let you know if it ever goes down.  The nurse told me she was impressed with all the work he had to do to get that one tooth out, she said I never flinched.  The dentist kept asking if I was ok, I think he was checking to see if I passed out because I just laid there with my eyes closed.  I treat the dentist like I do the doctor, I trust that they know what they are doing so I don’t worry about it.  I plan on going back to work tomorrow but she said I would be really sore so we’ll see.

I’ve been a blogging fool lately though.  I’ve gotten a bunch of posts typed up for this blog and a bunch for My Sports Obsession.  Although that blog is easy to post because it isn’t like this one where it’s mostly about what I type.  That one is post a picture and talk a little about it.  Here’s what I got typed up so far.

1. Cousins – Chanting
2. the First of an Obsession
3. MS update and art class
4. the Writing was on the Windows
5. Chase Fridge

I don’t know what order I’ll post them in, and I have a few other idea’s to type out.  I’ll have to select some for the weekly Dude Write contests too.  I don’t think I’ll ever win it all there but it gets my traffic up and those posts I usually have a lot of interaction in my comments section.  I’ve picked up some followers through there as well.  I write for myself but I’m not ashamed to admit it’s a nice boost for my ego when I have readers.

My wife just informed me that she thinks I’m getting fatter.  We don’t have a scale here so I’ll have to weigh myself tomorrow at work, if I go.  It’s a heavy duty industrial scale so it’ll hold my fat ass.  I guess it’s a good thing I’m on soft foods for a few days.  Maybe I can drop 100 lbs to please my wife.  I thought she loved the Buddha, but apparently not.  Maybe it’s the swollen mouth that makes me look fatter.

INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE

I have this song stuck in my head.  I heard it this morning after the dentist.  Cheri was still sleeping (trying to get rid of a migraine) so I sat down at the kitchen table with my laptop (to blog) and plugged my headphones into my phone and was listening to my spotify playlist when this came on.  My wife said she didn’t remember Michael and Janet doing a song together.  So here’s my proof.

Kind of a weird video, but what do you expect from the Jackson’s.

I better go, my mouth is starting to hurt and I don’t think it’s completely stopped bleeding yet.  I need to stick a tampon up there or something.  I have to leave to go get the kids from school in a hour and Trevor has Boy Scouts tonight.  Plus Cheri has some shopping planned, picking up a few things, but shopping none the less.  No rest of the fat and bleeding.

2 year toothache

Almost 2 years ago, I was having some tooth pain on the right side in the back.  I went to the dentist.  He said that the wisdom tooth needed to be removed but there was an infection that needed to clear up first.  So he put me on antibiotics and we schedule for the tooth to be removed for the next Friday.

Now back at this time, our oldest daughter was still living in Virginia with her grandmother.  But the week that I was taking the antibiotics, she had issues with living down there and we decided to bring her home.  I already had Friday off because of the surgery so we called and cancelled it, and headed off to Virginia to pick her up.  The plan was to reschedule the tooth surgery when we got back.  But by the time we got back, with a weeks worth of antibiotics, the tooth pain was gone.  So I never rescheduled and everything was fine.  For about 6 or 7 months.  Then the pain came back.

So I told Dr. Cheri that I need to get more antibiotics but I didn’t want to go to the doctor.  Not that I have a fear of doctor’s or dentist’s but I hate having to pay them money when I know what the problem is.  So she mixed some tea tree oil with some water in a water bottle.  I shake it up, and gargle with it a couple times a day and in a few days, the pain goes away.  I stop gargling after a week and it’s all good.

Or is it?  The pain seems to come back ever 4 or 5 months.  So here I am, a couple of years later apparently Cheri decided it was time for me to go back to the dentist.  So I spent about half an hour talking to him and he checked out my x-rays.  He asked if hot and/or cold hurt it.  Nope.  He asked if it hurt when I eat.  Nope, not really.  He told me he’s not sure how I’m not in pain.  He gave me antibiotics to take care of the infection.  He also wrote me a script for Vicodin which I probably won’t ever take, but is always nice to have on hand.  And next Friday, I’m going in to have 3 abscessed teeth removed.

So, we’ll see how much blogging I do next weekend, which in case, would be my next weekend off of work.  Great way to spend it.
