bad day

[zivalover16]

Today started off like last week, with my parents telling me everything I was doing wrong and getting angry at me. I woke up not feeling well and with a bad toothache. I was supposed to have today off from work but one of the other people quit without notice so I signed up for overtime. I could use the money. While working my back started to really hurt and my tooth got worse. One of my co workers was being very loud and contradicting what I was trying to do with an individual. I have to pay a loan at some point today.... I think they will be calling me..... I have to money. I also have to get my car checked out because I ran into a guardrail a few weeks ago and one of my tires is losing air. I made an appointment to have the alignment checked but I don't want them to check it now because it will cost money. I feel like I need to do something for me so I am getting my hair dyed tomorrow... I'm a little worried that I'm going to mess up and run out of money but these are the things I need to do. I could wait 2 weeks to do my hair but I just feel like I need to do it now. I wish things weren't stressful for me.. I was doing well but now Idk... I don't know if it's just today or if I'm going in a bad place again... I wish I knew what to do .

Hi,

you probably don't remember me, because I haven't been here in a long time.

I think you are doing a lot of things.. things that need to be done like earning money to pay the loan, getting your car checked and so on. But it is very important that you are looking after yourself, too.
Having a headache and a toothache and your bach aching and you offered to work. I think that is a strong thing to do, because most people would probably just stay at home and let someone else work more.
Going to get your hair dyed is a good way to do something nice for you and if you feel/felt like you need it then you should do it. I guess you have already done it from the date when you wrote that thread.

Hope you are better now.

I was doing better... My tooth still hurts and I just realized that I think there are two that are hurting but i don't want to tell the dentist in fear he won't help the first one... I'm hoping it is the one tooth that is causing my other teeth to hurt.... Work was a little rough today but I found out I got this Saturday off which made me really happy. The next two days will be rough at work because the schedule has already been posted and I've been given the hardest guy to take care 2nights in a row... Today I was doing ok until I went to go to bed only to find out my mom had gone into my room without asking. when i asked her she said she just wanted to get a mirror but she had messed up my pillows and I have a hard time getting my pillows the right way so I can sleep comfortably. She just told me that I've given her permission in the past and she assumed that that meant she could come in anytime she wanted to which is not true. then she turns around and says she didn't think it would be a problem and that all I had to say was I don't like it when you go in my room. This is basically what I said but the wording was a little different. I have to get up early tomorrow because I have to take the boys my mom watches to school because she has an appt.... I hope I can find time to sleep and I hope my tooth lets me sleep.

Are you able to take anything for the tooth pain at all? It sounds like work will be rough but perhaps it would help to try and focus on the fact that you will get a break on Saturday. I am sorry that things are difficult with your mum but it is good that you managed to get across to her that what she did was not okay. I hope as your week progresses things get a little easier for you

The dentist didn't give me anything. I see him today. I am wondering if I have an infection though because I woke up today and yesterday and that side of my face has been swollen. I have tramadol for my back and that helps a little. As for work I am going to do my best to concentrate on having Saturday off and leaving tomorrow.

I hope it goes okay at the dentist

[zivalover16]

thank you...it helps me to vent to people and have people talk to me. I find it easier to do it here because I feel like I'm more understood here sometimes

[Laura2.0]

I hope the dentist can sort out what exactly is causing you the pain of your teeth and face. I think you should tell him about the other tooth and about the face pain, because otherwise he might think it is something else.

[zivalover16]

The face pain went away.. I went to the dentist and while waiting I started sobbing because it hurt so bad. They took me to a room quickly and gave me gas that had be completely relaxed then gave me novicane... He said at first every thing looked normal but than I heard him say whoa.... Apparently I had blood building up and when he go the pulp out it made it bleed like a volcano (his words)... He put a temporary filling and I have an appt in a couple of weeks to complete the root canal. He told me that what he did to my tooth was equivalent to having a small surgery so he gave me tylenol with codine which is helping a little tonight. If anymore of my teeth do this then I have to go see a specialist because it means something is seriously not right about it... I'm hoping the pain in the tooth next to it goes away soon....

Sounds full on, I am glad they gave some things to help with the pain though. I hope it all heals and the next appointment goes well.

[zivalover16]

thank you.. The pain woke me up tonight (it's 4:30 am and I've been awake for an hour) The pain med made it not hurt all the time but now it's only when I hit it with my tongue or close my mouth or put pressure there....

[Laura2.0]

oh dear, root canal is painful. I had to get that done once and it really hurt, but I didn't get gas to be calmer because I don't think that's allowed where I live. They just injected something to numb half of my face, but it was still painful. (would love to live somewhere where I could get to breath in gas to make me calmer)
I hope that it is getting better soon!

[crazykat]

Tooth pain is the worst, I hope it heals fast for you

[zivalover16]

thank you... I'm taking Tylenol with codine and it's helping a little. I feel like I've been punched in the mouth.. I can't eat anything hard yet. I'm afraid that my other teeth will do the same thing... There's a possibility that it's happening from a dry mouth.
