DEEEEEEEP HURTING

[captain_slinky]

My entire mouth is hurting tonight, worse than it has in the past 3 days or so from The Great American Wisdom Tooth Adventure (Comming soon to a Disney Theme Park near YOU!). Possible explainations?

• It's my first day back to work in over a week. Dealing with bitchy people on the phone can intensify ANY minor pain.
  
  
• Today is my first day completely without big-time drugs. No Percoset, no Vicodin. Just Ibuprofin... and only *one* of the perscription Ibuprofin that the Dentist gave me... the rest has been over-the-counter stuff from our little First Aid Kit here at work.
  
  
• I've been eating a lot of carbohydrates while my mouth heals, and excessive amounts of carb ALWAYS make me feel sick. The pain from my mouth is just a place for me to blame all that general illnes in to.
  
  
• I love to be The Martyr. Poor, tortured Captain Slinky having to go to work despite the debilitating pain. Oh, the humanity!
  
  
• Something might actually be wrong. I won't know till my follow-up appointment tomorrow morning at 11. The Shredded Whole-Wheat side of me wants it to be no problem at all that is easily cured with some wonder pill or procedure, but my Sugar-Frosted side wants it to be a terrible complication that will debilitate me for life, letting me live off the insurance settlement!
  

So I go to The Dentist tomorrow morning, 11am. This *should* have been all better by the Wednesday after the opperation, but I have been in constant pain for a total of 9 days now. PITTY ME!!!
