The Coronation
Jan. 14th, 2005 06:39 amGods, my jaw is sore. I guess three shots of Novocain, a ton of drilling, and a dental crown will do that to you. Not unexpected, but it hurts, and I kind of hate pain. I really want to crawl back to bed about now, and I have no idea what I'm eating for breakfast, because while I'm allowed to eat anything that isn't sticky or chewy, I can't handle much else right now because of the soreness. I keep yawning and going "ow", and it's worse if someone makes me laugh.

g_shadowslayer told me her dentist gives her codine if he has to do a lot of drilling. I'm jealous, but I couldn't take it today anyway, even if I had it, because I have to, you know, function at school, or at least pretend really well. So I make due with my Tylenol.
Pretty much the only good thing about today is that if I can get through it, I have Monday off. Woot.
I get my temporary crown off, and the perminant one on, in three weeks. Seems like a long time to put up with this oddly shaped, bad tasting thing which doesn't fit that well in my mouth, but as long as it at some point stops hurting and stops tasting like something funky, I'll manage. I guess that tooth was really badly broken, though, because I keep running my tongue over the cap and going "oh yeah, I remember back when the tooth was shaped like that... been a while, though." No love to my old dentist for missing the fact that I'd chipped the damn thing. I really really hated that guy.
They already know my name at the dentist's; I didn't have to tell them who I was when I got there yesterday afternoon. One wonders what they'll know about me by the time I'm finished with my crowns and fillings.
It's funny, you know? I always said I wanted to be the queen of something, but this really wasn't the sort of crown I had in mind.
I pity the freshman who pisses me off today, though. Not much, but I do. Those people annoy me enough as is, and I'm afraid I'm not really a fun person to be around when I'm in pain.
I mentioned the part where I don't want to go to class, right? Thought so.
