I am just fucking fucked...

~A year ago Sept I had six teeth extracted, all molars. Left me with one upper molar to chew with. I need a partial set of dentures to allow me to chew properly, but Medical does not cover partials and I was never able to raise even close to the $1000 needed to get one.

Early this morning the moment I've been dreading arrived. The tooth underneath that single upper molar....well, it's a cap, so I guess the roots cracked. Hurts like a mother fucker and no amount of pain killers are helping. /sigh

Now I'm waiting to call the dental office when they open and see if I still have some kind of coverage to get it extracted. If I do, I'll go as soon as I can. And then have no idea how I'm going to chew my food.

If not, I have no idea what the fuck I'll do...I'm in a lot of fucking pain...I hate my life.

Tooth or Consequences

~So, an up-date on “I am just fucking fucked...” I am still covered by Denti-Cal and am seeing the dentist 11am Thursday. It also turns out that Denti-Cal will start covering partial dentures after Jan 1st, so I will be able to chew like a more or less normal human once again in the foreseeable future.

I took a lot of various drugs and was able to sleep for nine hours. I'd had three lousy hours when I first wrote about all this.

But the thing has swollen up and is now a dull pain, which makes eating a bit easier, but also means no extraction tomorrow. I'm gonna need antibiotics and serious pain meds.

What I'm hoping is that the nerve will die and can keep this tooth until I can get my partial. As ever, more shall be revealed....
