Soon to be drugged up and feeling alrighty (hopefully)
Finally got my stupid insurance settled and got something for my pain. I asked for vicodin or hydrocodone, at which the doc said "You sure know about pain meds don't you?" while looking at me like I was a junkie or drug dealer. I don't know how I kept my cool right then being in pain and being talked down to by a crappy doctor whose office is on the worst side of town, but I did. I told him that I had already taken aspirin and I didn't want to take too much when they don't even help. He finally gave me a prescription for hydrocodone WITH ASPIRIN, and when I asked if there was anything without aspirin he said "This one doesn't have aspirin, it's just got apap". Now, I know that those are the same things, but by this point I just wanted to leave, so I just left while mumbling passive aggressively. To top it all off the pharmacy said they couldn't fill the prescription until tomorrow.

Tooth Still hurting Or: A bit about pain
My stupid wisdom teeth are still hurting, and I've been popping generic vicodin like tic-tacs. It isn't nearly as painful at another incident involving a different tooth.One of my molars had begun to give of little zaps of pain and soon the pain had become worse still. I eventually got to the dentist and they looked at it and told me that they could do a root canal for $500, or pull it for $40. Once I had finished filling out the ubiquitous clipboard with a bunch of questions the dentist should already now, I got some xrays taken and then he got down to business.
I couldn't shake the feeling that he was doing things with slightly too much force. Anyhow After wrenching it around a bit, the tooth popped out and the dentist showed me what it looked like. It was a normal tooth on the top and bottom, but the left side had a huge, angry open sore. Then I got a prescription for pain killers and ended up using because of the pain from dry socket, which lead to mild withdrawal symptoms and a very strained liver.Thankfully I can counteract the dependency with dxm and some tinzanidine, if I can get any that is.
P.S= Milk thistle is really good for healing your liver which can help speed up the healing process.

Not Dead, teeth hurt
Sorry for not posting in so long, my wisdom teeth need to come out and they hurt so much I couldn't go three sentences without cursing like a gutshot pirate. Wisdom teeth suck, vicdoin es sucks, dentists suck and medical insurance that doesn't fully cover you sucks.
