i'm all whiney and sore right now from having teeth forcibly pulled from my jaw. thanks for all the feedback about the pics, i'm not quite well enough to spend more than five minutes at a time online (for some reason the computer screen makes me nauseous) but as i recover i will respond.
so now i'm going to briefly complain about how shitty i feel: i had my wisdom teeth out on monday, and chose to be put under - which wasn't as bad as i though it would be with the iv phobia and all, i was out almost immediately. i was sore when i woke up, but still pretty out of it. tuesday i felt better, swollen, but better. then tuesday night i started puking violently, i think i puked every ten minutes for something like five hours before convincing my not-so-maternal mother that she needed to take me to the hospital because i was dehydrating. so we get to the hospital and the of course put another fucking iv in me, which was awful because the nurse bruised my vein and it hurt the whole two hours i had stuff dripping into my veins.
anyway, i was feeling slightly better - at least not vomiting - so she took me back to her house. of course, i couldn't have any more of the pain medication because it was aggravating my stomach, so the pain in my jaw got worse and worse and all i could take was fucking children's tylenol. so by the next day i was feeling a bit better, able to keep down liquids but no food, in a ton of pain that felt like someone stuck my jaw into a vice and started squeezing until my whole fucking head was throbbing.
so my mother got an offer on her condo, and started yelling about how excited she was, and i told her that i was thrilled (which i was, she'd been trying to sell it for a year) and then she stopped yelling and looked at me coldly. "that's great, i'm thrilled" i repeated. then she starts in on how selfish i am and she can't believe that I'm such a horrible selfish person who uses other people up until there's nothing left and destroys all my relationships which is why no one cares about me and i have no friends. "i wasn't being sarcastic, mom, i really am thrilled" i told her "i just can't speak very well right now because my jaw is swollen." she then starts yelling at me "you are a guest in my house, i don't have to put up with you - i can't believe how selfish you are"
ok, just to clarify here, i am not exaggerating, this is exactly what happened.
ok, enough with the blow by blow, i left, I'm here at my friend's house, and i look like someone beat me - it's kinda funny actually because when i was waiting in the lobby of the building for my friend to get there i was crying and holding an ice pack to my swollen bruised jaw, and i could just read the looks i was getting like "get out of that abusive relationship" and such. bah.

That completely sucks about the reaction - sounds even more obnoxious than what I went through when mine were pulled - I wasn't going to tell you before because I didn't want to freak you out on the way in but mine involved a lot of blood and an ambulance.
Fortunately for me, I was 19 and my mom was considerably more together. Your mom sounds like an absolute nightmare!
It really is as they say: you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family.
Hope you feel better soon!

I hope you start feeling better soon!
