There is not an icon angry enough to express how I feel right now.
Just got back from the dentist. That bad tooth I said I had earlier? Has to go. That huge honking hole in there is from inner decay, and the tooth basically collapsed on itself. Dentist said he's surprised I'm *not* having any pain, as bad as the mess is. It's just barely above the bone line, and with the way that it is, a crown would be little to zero chance of saving it.
I have a referral for an oral surgeon. No idea when this is going to take place. (Though it will have to be soon, before infection sets in) It's probably going to run about $500. For one little tooth. (Extraction and anesthesia are not cheap. Hell yes I'm getting knocked out for this; I don't think I could bear it otherwise.) This will be Number Seven that I lose. At the rate I seem to be going, I'm going to end up like my dad, who has almost none of his natural teeth left.
It's not like I'm mainlining sugar straight from the package here. I was giving up a lot of junk even before I had the crisis last year. (Can't stomach a lot of things like I used to, for one thing.)
SEVEN FUCKING GODDAMNED TEETH!!!!!!!!
