The offending tooth is out!

I woke up last week with pain a swollen jaw that looked like I was holding a golf ball in it. I went to a dentist whoplied me with antibiotics and loritabs, come to find out....I am allergic to loritabs. : Apparently they have codien in them which I plainly told thedental assisant that I was allergic to codien. The Pharmacy is guilty too though as I told them the same and they filled the script and sold it to me : Oh well, after loosing a few poundsand keeping a migrane most of the week, I went to the dentist yesterday and have the tooth pulled. I stiil have infection in there and I got a script for more antibiotics and a new script for a different pain pill. I am having way better luck with this one as I am not puking my brains out nor do I have a headache and it is actually working forthe pain and the bonuse is...I'm not loopy with it.
I hate being loopy. I guess that is the reason I do not drink very often. It goes back to a fear I have, not having control of my mind or being trapped within it. Mental illness runs deep in my family and I have grown-up fearing it. Actually I am surrounded by many people with some mental disorder or another. It doesn't scare me other people having a disorder, my best friend has mental illness and I love her dearly. Infact, I think you would be hard pressed to find someone with out a disorder these days. What I'm scared of is the more indepth disorders, again only of developing it and not those who have it. Any way it is the main reason I do not drink heavly or take drugs. I want control, full control of my mind and thoughts.
My tooth or lack of is feeling better today, the whole process cost me about 380.00. That's 4 scripts, 1 x-ray, 2 dentists visits, and the actual pulling of the tooth. By the way, I did come out of the office with an extra injury than when I went in. I got no apology, but an explaination of why it happened. The Dr.'s tool slipped from the tooth and gauged my jaw and his hand with a ring slammed into the side of my mouth the was NOT numb and busted my lip. I did not demand an apology as he was still in the position of being able to cause me more pain.( I also have a fear of dentists ) He still had to pull the infected tooth and so I let it go. I did however notice that they knocked 41 dollars off the quoted price when I went to pay. All in all, I don't care. My tooth is gone and my jaw and lip will heal, and I am feeling much better. I have to say in all fairness to the Dr., he is a very nice Dr. He is the first dentist that has ever took the time to make me feel at ease. He did not ask me a million questions that I could not answer with his giant hands in my mouth. I hate that...how in the world are you suppose to answer questions with hands in your mouth and half it numb and drooling? I know it is to take your mind off of what is going on, but it actually makes me tense up knowing now I have to figure out how to answer this educated man without sounding like an idiot and slobbering all over his hand.
well, that was my visit to the dentist. Not sure how that infection started so fast with me not having any trouble out of that tooth. The assistant said that I could have cracked the tooth without knowing and within 10 days a major infection can blow up. Still, I think I would have noticed my tooth cracking. I should have had some kind of pain.
I think the explanation lies in the fact that while I was out with my tooth, my husband ran my route for me. The main boss, who for some reason likes my husband and me, gave my husband an application for a management job there. It's a good steady income, unlike the construction business. It has killer benefits, unlike our construction business and would be a good opprotunity for us financially. We are still struggling to make all our bills and this would relieve some of that pressure. The boss told My husband to fill out the application and when I came back from my tooth, for him to come in so the boss could show him the ropes and set up an interview with the big wig. Thought comes to mind,"you are to be greatful in all things" never thought I would be greatful for an absessed tooth, but I am. I am more greatful this year for many things I never thought I would be greatful for..... God works in many mysterious ways.
Thank you God for all your works in our lives.
