It's hard for me to keep this blog about my stories, especially when creativity for them has stalled. So on to the topic!

I am in sheer, total agony. I woke up Saturday with pain in my right side of my jaw and the pain has since only intensified. I can eat soup, but I can't chew. My jaw refuses to open enough to allow me to bite into anything. Yes, I've done pain killers and hot and cold and even hit up a hospital for help. The painkillers? Pain overrode them. Hot/Cold? No use. Hospital? It's not a medical emergency, but it is a dental one. No, no xrays will be done, you have no insurance. go away. Take this shot and leave. The shot didn't help. I can't find a dentist, so I'll have to suffer until I can keep on top of my bills. My son can see a dentist, but not mommy, who can't laugh or smile or cry or ANYTHING without pain. Yes, it feels worse than labor, which is saying something considering labor is a natural 10 for all women. I'm done ranting...I think.
