I miss chewing

[cikevin]

For weeks I've had a painful molar. I was lacking insurance due to the layoff, though. Now I finally got on Christine's insurance as her domestic partner (and I'm once again grateful to gay people for making that possible). I went to the dentist on Tuesday for an exam and went back on Thursday for the actual root canal

So, I'm guessing this means that our usual greeting of me slapping you in the face and you punching me in the gut needs to be forgotten tonight?

Damn!

Yeah, we might have to reverse the roles this time.

At least you're right-handed, as I recall, so you'd be smacking the left side of the face. The face slap would still make me wince, but there's a little more of my head between the blow and the painful place.

Here's how lame it is. I turned down ice cream last night after I'd brushed my teeth because I didn't want to have to brush my teeth again, and the brushing action had been that uncomfortable.

oh no!!! I can totally relate...Ive had a horrible toothache thats kept me awake the past few nights... Tooth pain is the worst, it really makes me think about all those times I didnt have a toothache that it took for granted. I hope you feel all better really really soon!! <3

Feel better soon, on the tooth pain. :(

With the domestic partner stuff... how does that work? What are the requirements? How did you do it?

Ack, sorry to hear it.

Oh, dear. Hope the pain subsides soon, and the infection clears!
