TWTW
the weekend that was
rainy all day saturday
didnt stop me
from
bussing across town to the spa
for a much needed
massage
a facial
a temporary escape
from a mouth ache
not exactly a toothache
i will explain
for months
i was eating crunchy foods
lots of chewing
i noticed when i yawned
the 'hinge' of my jaw on the left side
- with me if its a problem, its on the left side .. really -
felt
as
if
it was out of whack
who do you tell something like this
i decided
when next i went to the dentist
i would point it out
thursday
my jaw and my left - see i told you - upper teeth
which are under a bridge
were achy
no
not achy
sensitive
to cold
to hot not so much
i toughed it out
eating softer food at room temp
friday
it seemed to be worse
it seemed to stop
i took some pain meds
i reasoned
if it was a nerve thing
it wouldn't be responding to pain meds
needless to say
i did call the dentist on friday
but
opted not to see one of his associates
as he was not in
i made an appointment for tuesday
hey
its not an emergency
he was booked pretty tightly on monday
meanwhile
the massage
the facial
relaxed me
the pain meds really relaxed me
the weather was so nasty
i did my thing
went home
vegged out
sunday
was
supposed to be nicer
well
it wasn't raining
i guess that made it nicer
but
it was that cold to the bone chill
that comes with an early spring day with no sun
i manicured
then
home
my jaw/tooth/whatever ache
seemed gone
yeah
now
its not throbbing
its feeling
more
like a root canal
might be coming
aaaaaaaaggggggh
