Can you say ouch? Wisdom teeth are evil little creatures. All four of them are impacted and causing so so so much pain. They’ve been hurting for a year but within the past two months it’s become excrutiating!
I went to see an orla surgeon today. There are no oral surgeons here in Asheville that take Medicaid. The closest one was in Morganton. So I went there, what choice do I have? I do not like this guy at all. He is a jerk and cocky and I don’t like cocky doctors. Oh yeah, he talked to me like I was about 3 or 4?
Ever heard of here’s your sign by the comedian Bill Ingvol? Well this guy needed a sign, several of them. He’s reading my chart wants to know my medicines I am taking. He reads “celexa” he asks me, “what is the celexa for?” I just kind of make a funny face and like, “uh…depression? That is usually what anti-depressents are for.” Then he got pissy saying that I didnt’ write depression down as one of my problems; I just put NF2. So I rolled my eyes and he said “what’s the prilosac for?” By this time I was thinking that he didn’t go to med school after all. Anyone know that prilosac is for acid reflux or stomach issues. Then my cell phone rings. I didn’t hear it and I didn’t feel it because it wasn’t on me, it was in my purse. He panics and tells me that I can’t have my phone on in a doctor’s office. I thought he was going to stroke out right there. I ignored him and just didn’t even ecknowledge the phone ringing, told him to go on. He said that someone must drive me there and drive me home. I told him I don’t think they want me driving anyway. I think this went over his head? Askes me how well I can see. Tell him I’m totally blind. That threw him off. He didn’t know this? “Ok so I can’t show you these ex-rays.” I said, “Nope but I dont’ need to see it. I know exactly where the pain is.” I just wasn’t impressed.
So I have surgery scheduled for Thursday, October 4 to get all 4 wisdom teeth cut out. Hopefully the pain will go away. I know it will be very painful when they are taken out, but then I should be pain free, in the mouth area anyway.
Also I’ve had a cold and I haven’t taken any medicine for it. I’m letting my body fight it off, trying to build my immune system back up. I think the fever finally broke because I am super hot. But I’ll make it.
That’s all for now, I’ll write again soon. Take care all my readers!
