Blogroll Me!
There are people on the net that have nothing better to do
with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Update and Relief
What a long day. The short version: doesn't seem to be a serious problem at the moment. Read on for the full version. Didn't sleep last night. Woke up at 6am. Called the office at 8am. Got a 10am emergency appointment. Got sick (despite nothing in my stomach.) Generally felt like crap. Mom got here late - almost 10am. Took forever to get up there so got in at 10:30am. Proceeded to sit. And sit. And sit. Wasn't until 12:30pm that I was finally called in. Took two x-rays of the tooth. One of the other doctors - a very nice and very pregant woman - came in since the main dentist was in sugery today. She looked at the x-rays and my mouth. She removed some cement that was lodged down inbetween the teeth and under the edge of the temporary crown. (Which hurt!) And she pointed out the debris on the x-ray. The good news is though that she said it doesn't look like there's any sign of infection. There's no problem with the root at the moment. There's no cracking or anything. She said it just looks like the gums are inflamed. Most likely a combination of the cement debris and just for the level of aggressive work they had to do on the tooth. She said it's not uncommon to have days where it doesn't hurt and then days where it's sore. So long as it doesn't get worse, I'll be just fine. Keep doing what I'm doing. Take tylenol (regular! I only took the tylenol 3 [with codine] the very first night) every few hours as needed; rinse with warm salt water, avoid eating on the side so it doesn't aggravate it, keep taking the antibiotic and take the new anti-inflamatory she gave me. The bad news is that it's actually a steroid. Methylprednisolone. And the first day's worth I have to take SIX pills. Day two, it's five; day three it's four, etc. Six days total. Hopefully, ontop of my already upset system from the antibiotics, it won't make me more sick to my stomach. (Did I mention how much my stomach gets mad when I'm on antibiotics?) Anyway, so long as it stays the same or gets better, everything is a-ok. She said it looks fine still and there's no sign of anything which would indicate there's a root problem. Looks like it's just a severe irritation. But thank goodness! She said it was good I came in to get it looked at and it was definately the right thing to do. But, everything should be ok and we're still on course for the perm crown on the 27th. I am just going to have to deal with the ache in my jaw/gums and take some regular tylenol if I want to relief the pain. So it's antibiotic 4x a day, my Pill 1x a day, tylenol as needed AND now my steriod anti-inflamatory 6x a day weening down to 1x a day for the next six days. Oy. That's a HELL of a lot of pills. I'm just so relieved though. The debris was probably a huge source ofthe pain. And something I never would have been able to get at or even know is there. It's just so great that it was something so small. Whew. For once, it's all anti-climatic in a good way.
