Ouch, My Wisdom Tooth

It's almost 4:30 AM, and I can't sleep due to this damned wisdom tooth. I felt some slight pain yesterday, actually it was more like discomfort, but it was bearable. I was even on the phone with Kazuyo (my best friend who's in Ohio) for almost 2 hrs, and still could bare the discomfort. Then I realized the whole right side of my face was swollen......so i decided to sleep it off. Moaned the whole time I thought I was sleeping, finally got up around 3:00 AM with tears!!!!! Gargled with salt water, took some Alieve, and hopped in the car to some of the dentists offices near the house, to see what time they open. Stupid offices don't even have their business hours posted on the door....WTH?

I came home and started looking through the yellow pages......see stupid me, I didn't join the dental coverage on my insurance plan....DOH! So I'm looking through these yellow pages (in excruciating pain) and I come accross some ads that say 24 Hour Dental Service....I call and get a voice mail.....now can someone tell me, how the heck is that 24 hour dental service? So I'm holding the right side of my swollen face, wondering why the heck didn't i join the dental coverage on my insurance, and wondering if I'm going to need oral surgery.....I don't even have a dentist yet! Not only that, but I'm supposed to be going to Vegas to visit my Mom tomorrow......

So that's how I came to write my blog so early in the morning, or is it late at night? I'm waiting for that clock to say 8:00 so I can rush to the nearest dentist.....I guess I'll be spending a few hundred on this stupid wisdom tooth, and yet I still have 3 more that need to be taken out! I just can't take this pain anymore, I want to just yank the damned tooth out myself! Wisdom tooth? Who the hell thought of calling it that? Chi~~~~ Wisdom tooth my a$$
