 Posted: 06/08/04 - 09:20 Post subject: You've got a lot of nerve...
... unless you're one of my teeth.
From the Mixed Blessings Desk.
Went to the dentist yesterday, as the neuro suggested, to see if what I have is TN or not (on my last visit to the neuro, she had her doubts. I did say "Surely you jest." Which was perfect because she could not say, "No. And don't call me Shirley," because Shirley is her first name. For realz.  )
I don't like dentists, much the same as hospitals - plus I have a low pain threshold when it comes to dental stuff. So it was a pleasant surprise that he did a minimal probing, and took X-rays. Unfortunately, he did find something (meaning some of you must pay some bets, don't you?  ) - two cavities. It took 48 years, and I get two instead of just my first. One may be able to be filled, etc. However, the worse of the two has gotten to where it's killed the central nerve, and will have to be pulled, then an implant. Which will cost some coin. 
Good news - it appears this is the source of the pain, and not TN  . But I'm holding on to that Vicodin. Might come in handy when I go to the oral surgeon -
"All right, Steve. I'm going to give you a prescription for some pain medication, which..."
"That's OK, Doc (and I take out my pills), I've got my own." 
Thank you one and all for the support. Let's hope this will be the end of it!

A little pain from the oral surgery sure sounds better than having that TN stuff.

Never thought I'd say this to someone, but I'm glad you have two cavities.
I'm glad it'll be better for you soon.

The central nerve ya say?? As long as it hasn't affected your last nerve, that 1 is reserved for me, right? Well great news actually. Glad it's not as serious as they thought originally. I hate the term "oral surgeon", it just scares the snot outa me.  Good luck, hope all comes out well!
can I pass by the post office to put the check in the mail before going to the penalty box?

No.
Go directly to Penalty Box.
Do not pass "Go" (or GoGirlGo, for that matter).

If we're going by those standards, Missy, I've been old since age three, when I got my first pair of glasses.
Better that than other things gone artificial.
