Stop in for a cup of coffee

The tooth saga was a complete clusterf*ck today. They got me in and all numbed up and began to probe the tooth. They couldn’t get the crack to flex or move at all. After about 15 minutes of probing (I had been in the chair for an hour already) the surgeon stopped and said he wouldn’t remove the tooth.

There is still an abscess under it and he thinks the tooth can be saved by a root canal so he’s sending me to a specialist to open it up and see if it can be saved. If not, then I go back to him to remove it.

I said screw that, just take it out. He said sorry, I can’t...your blood pressure is too high right now. I called your primary care doc so you can go see him and get your pressure down before I do the extraction if it becomes necessary.

So now it’s another week of antibiotics, make appointments with docs and try to get my blood pressure down while living with this pain.
