The Couch - CXII : The Tao of Couchies

Yeah-doesn't seem right that it is hurting more this many days later.

Sounds like you might be experiencing the dreaded dry socket. You keep poking the wound with your tongue? Maybe you just need some of the nasty clove-oil packing to fix you right up. Good luck!

A lot of it comes from being a relatively young country compared to anywhere in Europe with a number of different immigrant populations, and a country founded with an explicit separation between church and state (in theory at least).

Most of our holidays are secular - Presidents' Day, 4th July, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Veterans' Day (= Armistice Day), etc. Christmas is a holiday, but that's mostly because so many people celebrate it, kids are off from school on winter break, etc.

I can't get off work to go so i might have to just call in sick. Will it heal on its own and stop hurting i wonder?

I'd go get special stuffing for it as when I had mine pain pills didn't do anything for it. It will heal on it's own but it's painful.

Reminds me of this-there is a swear word.

Now, while I agree with this, I also think sometimes I shouldn't feel my emotions. They are awful. I think they make some things worse, but I can't get anywhere. I'm stuck where I am. I hope you can one day get better, Crocus.

I called the dental place today and had to hang up the first time because I was crying trying to talk. So I went back to my desk and took another ibuprofen and waited half an hour and then called them again, they are going to squeeze me in tomorrow afternoon (the oral surgeon is not in today) they said "You might have to wait 3 hours" I said I don't care I just need this taken care of it hurts so much. They confirmed it sounds like that dry socket thing. Curses. Of course at the moment, it doesn't feel that bad. We'll see how tonight goes. This is why I hate the dentist. They always hurt me.

But Artie you're going to feel so much better after the treatment, you'll want the dentist on your Christmas list. I have a terrible phobia of the dentist, too. I always put off going until I'm in so much pain I can't take it anymore. I'll be your pocket rider tomorrow if you can stand me being a chicken!

Feel ya

At session today No. 3 gave me "permission" to do something (not feel something, do something that has nothing to do with her). I'm still irritated about it.

What I'd really like permission to do is straighten her rug, which is crooked in relation to the sofa. Bugs me.

I had one use the word permission with me just once - it was not pretty. It did not happen again.

ARGH!!! I want to be a person of importance in my Ts life, I want him closer but far away at the same time. I'm sure this is witchcraft.

I am so whingey tonight. I want to go down the beach but the wind is too strong and it looks like rain. I want to look for shoes but have no money....Well I have money but it is reserved for other thing but I really need more than one pair of everyday shoes. If i look i may persuade mysel to buy.

I was up at 3, back down around 5, and had a weird nap until wake up o'clock. I guess I was dreaming (can't remember) but it felt like I was awake and daydreaming. Not restful at all. . . I'm off to take DD1 to pdoc and T, see you Couchies later!

The thing about depressed is it follows you everywhere. I have been at my favorite place on earth this whole week and I have spent more time in my bedroom in bed than I'd like to admit. I wish I could enjoy life.

My h is making noises about cancelling his hearing aid fitting appointment this afternoon since I can't go with him because of having to go back to the dentist. (not to go with me, but because I can't go with HIM.) I want to just cry. Why does everything have to be so difficult? I don't know when I can arrange to be off work again to go with him. The only reason I can get IN to the dentist today is because I had alreayd worked out to leave early today for his appt. I just assumed (like the big fat idiot that I am) that he cuold handle his own appt while I went to mine. Sorry the pain in my mouth is making me whiny. I'll hush now and drag myself into work.

I'm glad you can see the dentist this afternoon. I hope he can do something to ease the pain.

Have you asked your H why he doesn't want/feel able to go to the appointment by himself?

Had the oddest dream about T last night. So strange. Not sure I'll tell her this one. In other news, I think I'm finally starting to learn how to have emotions but not let them 'run' my day. I can feel one way and do another.

Tell that man that if he doesn't want to go get his hearing aid that's his problem. You take care of you. He's old enough not to need his hand held and you're not his mother.

I go with ex/bff to all her appointments. The info is often overwhelming and sometimes emotionally difficult and can require me knowing things for the future that I would not clearly hear about if getting it third hand.

I, on the other hand, do not want anyone going with me to any appointment with anyone for any reason. I find another person too much to handle when trying to process information.

This, exactly.

Don't let him get to you, Art.

Can I just say: allergy season is killing me this year. Taking zyrtec daily plus nasal spray and still feel like crap.

A hearing aid fitting is not a traumatic experience. He goes in, they try the aids on, they adjust them, they show him how to use them. I assume they've already taken the molds at his first appointment? That can be a little painful, but a grown man should be well able to deal with a hearing aid appointment.
