Friday nights

Took a trip to the ER tonight for tooth pain. I've been trying to numb it all day with ibuprofen and finally broke down crying to my mother. That is how you know when I need help. I usually bottle it all up and handle it on my own but it was bad. Finally back home and exhausted.

How does your tooth feel now? Try some ice cream or ice chips. Try to listen to your favorite music or watch something you like on tv. You can get away by reading a good book too. Sometimes I do one of those things to get away from reality.

It's dull for the moment but super sensitive to cold foods :/

I've been distracting myself with TV all day until the pain got to a 9/10. My poor mom had to listen to me cry all the way to the ER. Luckily even though the drive took forever admission only took a few minutes.

What is wrong with the tooth?

Be thankful for you mom. Seems like she is caring and looking out for you. Try to do something that involves her to pass the time. See what she wants to watch, or help her cook a meal. Maybe even take her out tomorrow somewhere, even if just for a stroll.
