toothache

Last week has been a major ordeal for me. I suddenly had an attack of the dreaded toothache. I think this has got to be the most annoying pain a human being could ever experience. It's so painful you want to kill yourself, but in reality, it's a pain that wouldn't really kill you. That makes it so annoying.

So what have I done about it? Many people have recommended going to a dentist, but I really don't feel like doing that. It's not that I'm scared of dentists and their sharp metal scissors and their probing latex-gloved hands, but-- what was I saying? Yeah, I'm not scared of dentists. Anyway, what I did was to get my hands on as many painkillers as possible (generic name: mefenamic acid). I don't know if it worked, but it must have, or else I would have been writhing on the floor during those times when the pain was at its worst.

It has subsided now, thankfully. It bites every now and then, but now I find no reason to face the dentist's chair, and all things evil associated with it. At the same time, I found a reason to justify my long absence from blogging. Hee. Forgive me, guys, I am but human. :)

A-Z. 26. Happy.
