I failed to mention that my mouth has been in extreme pain since Thursday when I got four fillings on my right side (yes, I know, my teeth suck. Moving on...). Funny thing is the teeth are fine. It's my cheek this is killing me. It's to the point that it hurts to eat or drink anything, even water, and it hurts to open my mouth. I was mumbling all my words yesterday. I'm almost certain it's from when the assistant tried to put some stupid cardboard thing against my right cheek to keep it away from the tooth. It was too big for my mouth, as most of the things they try to use on me are, and she was having trouble getting it in there, so she actually shoved it in. I was all frozen, but I could still kind of feel it slide along my cheek. I thought "Uh oh, that's probably going to hurt." Um, yeah. Extreme pain. For almost a week. I was going to go to the clinic after work today. I called my dentist to cancel my appointment for Thursday, because if I can't open my mouth wide enough to eat cereal, a two hour dental appointment is probably out of the question. The receptionist told me my dentist should look at my mouth, I said fine, but she couldn't see me until tomorrow after work. For christ's sake. I just want something to make the pain go away. I've tried Aleve and Advil extra strength gel caps but they're not doing anything. I think it's infected and I need antibiotics, even though I hate them. Rinsing with salt water hurts like hell and makes me want to cry, but it does feel really good for a little while afterwards. I need drugs!
