I’m a bit tired today because I had a toothache last night that kept me up. I tried taking Panadol and using Reiki but it didn’t do much to help and I woke up several times from the pain. Eventually I took a couple of Excedrin Migraine and that did the trick. I swear that shit works for everything.

I had my last wisdom tooth surgically extracted a while back. The dentist spent an entire hour drilling, sawing and yanking at it to get it out. It appears that the tooth had somehow lodged itself under and around the one in front of it. It was an unpleasant ordeal but I healed up fine within a week, only to find that this tooth, the one in front, had been loosened in the process. I waited to see if it would eventually settle back into place but it hasn’t.

For the most part it doesn’t bother me, but every now and then it flares up and causes a lot of discomfort. I haven’t been to see a dentist about it mainly because I’m not ready to face any more dental trauma. I never used to be afraid of going to the dentist, but I had one very traumatizing experience with the extraction of another wisdom tooth that left me permanently scarred. I imagine I would either have to have a root canal or extract this tooth to fix the problem. Neither of these options is something I can stomach right now, although yanking it out of my skull seems favourable.

I feel fine now but I know I need to go see about this sometime soon. I don’t have any insurance at the moment so that’s something to consider.

I have an interview in a half hour on skype with the school I plan attending abroad later this year. I’m trying to get myself to a mentally alert place. Coffee doesn’t do much to me but it’s worth a shot. 

Wish me luck guys.
