i um. fuk where was i? tooth problem. in 2018

god it’s been a long wk. first of all hi still here. second now taking antibiotics.
um. so mon. like i said i saw my dentist. and either she or holly the hygenist i think it was holly told me ‘you have an abscess’. yeah. i know. actually i didn’t know what it was called but i knew there was a problem. so dr. l my dentist told me she wanted to see my perio bc he has more experience or something. and yeah that’s fine. no i like dr. nick. my perio.
but. for some reason which i don’t fully understand. at the dentist no one. and i mean no one. not dr. l not holly. [actually i don’t know if hygenists are allowed to do this.]. prescribed me an antibiotic. meanwhile from mon. - thurs. i’m sitting there, as it were. well. not always. w/ a tooth infection. and it’s not even that i’m afraid to die cause i’m not. it’s that well i was reading up on it and apparently. sepsis/infections. can cause well. brain damage. yes i already have that. from the tbi back in jan. which i’ve mostly recovered from. but fuk those 3 months of recovery were hell. they were awful. [maybe that was more common back in like. 1830] but. either way it’s not something i wanted again bc of this.
like yes. well obviously there’s a problem. we know. and i’m a little frustrated that on mon. no one prescribed anything. no and i would’ve taken it. once my mom and i’d talked about and in what form i wanted it in. like ok i don’t want brain issues to happen again. and i was worried it would. how many fukin hoops did i have to jump through ya know?
no so then. ok so on. wed. which was when i went to my mom’s [which btw. i thought i’d have a procedure/surgery that day. but i hadn’t apparently as it was only a consultation but i didn’t know that untill i got to my mom’s so] well so dr. nick. he knew that i had one. a tooth infection and he examined it and he told me and this i remember: ‘i don’t want to treat it as a periodontal problem cause i don’t think it is’. ok that helps. thank you. and he actually used the word ‘treat’.
so then. [and there are more details but. i’m tired kindof don’t feel good - again - so. these are just the basics] i saw. on um yesterday i saw a new dr. dr. earp [yes. like wynona in the tv show. and that’s how i remember it] and we discussed this and. she did some blood work and well. she doesn’t think the issue is environmental or um. ........... bacterial. she thinks it might be related to my. eating habits we’ll get the results back on fri. er next fri. i mean. she was really warm and nice and i like her a lot. so she. wrote me a prescrip. for antibiotics amoxycillan + um............whatever the fuk it’s called i always forget. um............ climdamyacin. and both of those. work to stop the growth of bacteria.
ok well. a part of me is glad, she prescribed that [it’s in liquid form btw which i’m ok w/] cause. then i have something tangible and physical as opposed to just. talking. no and i like dr. l. as a person. i just don’t understand. why the hell. nothing happened beyond the talking and the exam.
[btw. yes i’ve been taking my medicine. 2x/day started uh. yesterday which was when i got it.].
so. but i’m not out of the woods yet. i may have cut down a few trees along the way. metaphorically. but i’m not out of the woods. so dr. l........... wants me to see dr. iketa. yes like ‘akita’ but spelt differently. or ikea. sortof. and he dr. i. he is an........endodontist. which basically means. they’re dr.’s who are. more advanced in the field of teeth work. so. well ‘en’ means ‘in’ apparently. [peri/perio means ‘around the outside’.]. and this guy dr. l. what they do is they. look at the um. root and soft tissue. so...........yeah. and i thought. i was going to um. see him yesterday but then that plan fell through as he had an appt. which ok yes i’m glad of. as this way i have time to prepare notes for him. instead of jumping in w/ both ft. so i’m seeing him...........mon. dec. 3rd. at 1.
and then after. i have an appt. w/ this x ray person. it’s a teeth scan as i call it. well really what they’re doing is taking more, advanced x rays of my teeth. it’s called a CBCT scan. it’s like an eye dr. machine but obviously not for eyes. and that appt. is at 3:30. actually funnily enough dr. nick is the one who orig. referred um. dr. i. but dr. l my dentist knows of him.
so. more details to come but like i said i’m tired. from the meds er rather the side effects of the meds. antibiotics. and it’s been a long fukin wk. long wk.
