Hello.

I was really looking forward to posting a happy blog, for once. And i will, so watch out for it, but, for now, let me tell you about my tooth.

I was on holiday with my lovely boyfriend, and felt a little twinge in my tooth. That was saturday. We were coming home sunday, and i woke up sunday, and it wasn't gone. I presumed it'd be gone, or would go away shortly. It didn't. It got worse. I flew back to Cork monday morning, and it was horrificly painful then. All throuhg Monday it got steadily worse, and my hopes that'd it just go away were fading fast. So, i went to the dentist. He said there was absolutly nothing wrong with my tooth. Not one thing. But he could clearly see i was in pain, so he did an x ray, and found an abcess under the tooth. I had to look up what an abcess is:

"A tooth abscess or root abscess is pus enclosed in the tissues of the jaw bone at the tip of an infected tooth. Usually the abscess originates from a bacterial infection that has accumulated in the soft pulp of the tooth.Abscesses typically originate from dead pulp tissue, usually caused by untreated tooth decay, cracked teeth or extensive periodontal disease. A failed root canal treatment may also create a similar abscess"

Except my abcess is on a perfectly good tooth. The dentist said that hardly ever happens. He's never seen it anyway, and wants to do an operation on tuesday. That operation will be the first of many he said. And until tuesday, i'm in the most horiffic pain. I can't eat, i can't sleep. I feel dizzy if i stand up too long, and my face is all swollen.

I don't like feeling sorry for myself, and i don't like having these sorts of blogs, but i'm in so much pain, and i can't do anything, and am bored silly, but am in too much pain to actually DO anything. I really hate this.

I promise to have a happy blog soon, possibly even with holiday photos. Thank your lucky stars that i don't have a camera, to take photos of my swollen face to show you now..
