PSA on no updates @ saying I was working on it: Around that time I started having severe jaw pain that would ebb & flow periodically. This pain would be mind numbing & wear me out for days afterwards. Then the nerve pain started & I’ve never felt pain like this before in my life. I was hitting a consistent 8-9 on the pain scale during these flare ups with a few silent screaming 10’s thrown in for shits & giggles. So my wisdom teeth on my right side are impacted. I spent most of December panicking about financing it because to be honest, if I couldn’t resolve it I worried about my ability to ‘survive’ it if you catch my drift. It was that bad. Then I managed to get a loan through my bank & find a doctor, all the while having two weeks of blissful pain free time & I got cocky. I forget bad stuff easily in my defense. When the pain went, I thought, ‘Sure I’ll be fine waiting four weeks. That’ll give me time to work my butt off & prepare for being out for two weeks. (my case is going to be a little more extreme than typical because of course it fucking is)’ only two days after the nerve pain has returned with a vengeance. There’s not writing happening because I can’t think. My usual method of plugging in my earphones & daydreaming to book specific playlists, isn’t an option, because the nerve pissed off is on the joint of my jawbone & likes to pick which of the 3 nerve lines in my face it wants to blast but still always sticking to its good ole favorite no matter which of those it chooses - my fucking ear canal. So every sound hurts. I can barely even read except in small moments of relief I get in between & honestly it’s reached the point where I’d rather hurry & eat before I can’t anymore than read something I may manage a chapter in before the pain returns. I. Can’t. Even. Chew! It makes the nerve pissed. So yeah. Still alive. Kind of wishing I wasn’t. That is all.
