[ Continued from last update: HERE ]

Well, where to start. Last night I got at most 3 hours of sleep, but I'm not so sure it was from the tooth. By 5:00am I got up and my head felt like Jello, I was sick from the cold air getting in my tooth.

I waited till 8:00am, with mega intense pain and called my dentist. Can you believe that they were going to make me wait till' MONDAY to go?!?!? 6 ******** days away!!! Needless to say I bitched them out and hung up, and went to the phone book for help. Found some sort of Family Dentist, called and told them it was an emergency. They scheduled an appointment for an hour in a half later, I was very pleased.

Anyway, we went. They checked me out, poked at my teeth. Then said they were going to remove the two broken ones, since they couldn't be saved. By then I was freaked out from them poking at my mouth. When I stood up I whited out, for like a minute. Don't know if it were from the freaking out, pain, illness, or aspirin. But they told me what they needed to do.

So I'm getting the two teeth removed in a week in a half from now, thank Buddha they prescribed me Vicoden or I wouldn't have been able to make it. Also, they will have to give me a "Partial" which will be a metal piece with 2 fake teeth attached to it to fill in the gaps. That will stick with me until my teeth stop growing (around the time I'm 21), then I can get false teeth in it's place. The bill came to 1000 bucks, for the Partial and teeth pulling. We don't have insurance, so we have to pay 300-400 each month for three months.

I'm actually pretty happy with how things are turning out, it won't hurt me to eat! =P Right now whenever I bite down, the tooth hurts (or more so just feels uncomfortable seeing as the Vicoden is really helping *Grin*), but it will be over in 2 in a half weeks.

All of this s**t is happening all at once, being sick, dental work, school. Oh, about school. I was supposed to go in Friday with a bunch of papers to enroll, but seeing as I'm sick I don't think I'll be able to get my state ID tomorrow. We'll probably postpone the appointment till' Monday, so I can go on Tuesday. Or postpone the enrollment till' Tuesday, just in case I can't get the ID till' Monday. I feel like I've said all this already, probably just to someone else though. Feels like I put it in this Journal though, dejavu. I blame the Vicoden. *Hugs it* =]

I've thrown up three times today, I think I have the flu. x_X;

Whew, long update. Anywhoooo, tomorrow morning we're going to Walgreen's Pharmacy to get some Motrin (so I don't run out of Vicoden, the doctor said I can take up to 800MGs of Motrin with the Vicoden). I'll probably just use the Motrin at night, so it doesn't hurt when I sleep.

Well I guess that's all for now, blah. Damn my teeth. I don't have this problem with my upper teeth, thank god. Just two on the bottom, in the back, one on each side. ;_;

Disclaimer: I'm aware this post might be a bit confusing and in lack of order, but bare with me. <3
