Ow ow ow pain ow
Aug. 16th, 2007 11:59 amSo! This requires a teensy bit of back story.
At some time during the con, my jaw suddenly started to hurt when I chewed things for too long. This wasn't terribly good, but it was nothing that was going to keep me from the convention, so I lived with it.
The condition persisted more than a few days, I'm sad to say, so I went back to Oral Surgery Associates on Tuesday afternoon to get checked out. Turns out I had gotten dry socket somehow. I was given two options: get some bio-absorbable stuff stuffed into the hole and hope that solved the problem, or wait and hope that solved the problem. I went with option one, which tasted terrible, but did seem to do most of what I was hoping.
Fast forward to Wednesday evening. I had made chocolates earlier in the afternoon, and was enjoying eating them. Sadly, they were still quite cold and hard from being in the 'fridge, and chewing was still not 100%. I decided to give it a go anyway, and part way through one of the chocolates in question, I heard some sort of *crack*. I immediately assumed it was something in my mouth, an assumption backed up by the mild pain that accompanied it. I resolved to just let the chocolate melt in my mouth for the rest of the night.
Went to bed around two-ish, at which point the stoppage came loose from the hole in my mouth. Went to sleep anyway.
Woke up the next morning in pain. Fairly constant pain. Fairly considerable pain. On a scale of one to ten, I'd put it at least a five or a six, seven for persistence. Cramps are not helping.
Due to the stress of one thing and another, I probably won't be calling OSA again today, but will instead go crying to Mom (for a certain value of "go crying to") and hope she will be more organized and ready to deal with things than I.
In the mean time, I'll be taking my rats to the vet to be treated for mites and attempting to learn Espiranto. (Yes, it really is that easy to learn. I recommend it to everyone.)
Edit: Oh yeah, HEY FRIENDS LIST, app me up some canonmates for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
campfuckudie! I'll beta for you? It'll probably take about two hours, since I like to be really, really thorough, so the latest I'll accept anything is probably 5:00 pm Central on Friday afternoon. But please, app Sonoko up some people she knows! She'd love to see someone familiar, and also to gloat over the fact that she knows more about camp than they do through virtue of having been there longer. Pleeeeaaaase? I'll write you fic, or draw you something, and it would make my jaw-related pain that much more bearable! *puppy eyes*
