Painful Wisdom
Oh, gods I think it’s wisdom teeth! Read “Ugh!” to understand the situation. I thought it could have been one of my adult teeth maybe coming through since I still have some baby teeth but upon doing some research I’ve discovered that it’s possible that one: I may not have adult teeth coming in for those three and that it is quite normal and two: the precise kind of pain and the precise spot I’m having this may be because of wisdom teeth!!!
I didn’t even know I was around the age when wisdom teeth come in. Heck, I hadn’t even bothered to look it up till last night when my brother mentioned he remember going through that kind of pain when his came in. I ran (via mouse) and looked it up but actually wisdom teeth can come in anywhere from 19 to 25. I’m turning 20 this year.
Oh, gods. I can’t afford to have them taken out, I can’t even afford a check up. There’s no room for them to come in and my mouth hurts so much. The swelling has gone up since last night and I can’t close my jaw. It hurts so much.
*sigh* I’d complain more but I have to go to work now.

ouch. i was in the process of posting a reply to your earlier teeth entry when i was called away. i was gonna talk about my teeth, in particular my wisdom teeth, and a little story i share with some regarding them very same oral beasts. but i shan’t, simply cos i don’t think it will help any. however, i will say a little prayer for an easing of your discomfort, and hope that it resolves itself soon. be strong, my tofufriend. :-)

J1M: Thankies for not sharing any painful stories. Everything I’ve heard so far has made me squirm. I think I might also have some sort of infection where one of them is coming in. You don’t want to know the details but lets just say I’m to the point of volenteering to go to the dentist after oh… too many years and the last time I went not only did I get two of my teeth accidently filled together but I had to listen to the two people talk about all the mistakes they’d made the week before. *shudders* Many thanks for your prayers, I really need them. Here’s to tofu soup! :)
