Oh GOD

What the hell is going on?? The last couple of weeks I spent nursing an aching tooth. I even TRIED to get a root canal. Tried. Wanted. Anything to get that stupid tooth out. Well, I got my wish. My tooth got pulled without the anesthetic. I felt like I was in the old west. If it was possible I would have been biting on a bullet except that I had to keep my mouth open. I did get the equivalent of a rubber door stop to bite on and boy did I bite it. It hurt so bad. I cried and cried after it was done. I don't know if it was from the pain or the trauma of having something like that happen. Either way it was done and I felt pretty good. That was week ago. This week it's itching and a rash. I have red skin that feels like a combo of being burned and being bit by several swarms of mosquitos. I've soaked in a cool bathtub. It helps while I'm in there but I have to get out. Steph just came in the dining room and gasped at me. My face is red and swollen and I think I look scary. I'm only writing this to get my mind off of what's going on which when you think about it if I am writing about how I'm feeling then I'm obviously thinking about it. Oh well. I hope when I wake up tomorrow I'll feel just a teeny bet better. Just enough to think that I have turned the corner. Turned the corner to go down another street. Great. Another street another corner.
