I drew this to illustrate my current dental situation.
Since approximately “morningtime” yesterday the new “top part” of the “big part” of my “hell tooth” (these are all technical industry terms with which you might not be familiar) has been “wiggly” and “killing me”.
I have spent 35 minutes today attempting to get ahold of it with an adjustable wrench to no avail.
I believe it is no longer attached to the “death root” (hence the creation of the PAIN HOLE) but it seems to nonetheless be firmly affixed to the surrounding gums, making it impossible to remove without considerable (excruciating) agony.
I found some old codeine tablets in my laundry room or I would be typing this from the floor. As it stands I am typing it from my desk chair with a bag of frozen berries pressed firmly to my swollen face.
Did you know hospitals don’t do dental work?
Did you know private dentists won’t treat the uninsured?
Did you know that the vast majority of corporate health care coverage in America, on the off chance you have a job AND insurance, still doesn’t cover optical and/or dental even though those are the only two services most employees will ever need barring an actual emergency?
My face is all scrunchy like I’ve had a stroke.
It’s very sexy.
Let freedom ring.
