Okay, everything is not all joy and roses here in the land of Tylenol and codeine.

It worked on Wednesday, it worked beautifully, but then yesterday the pain started to come back, and the codeine wasn't working. And I don't mean that it worked a little, I mean it was as though I was in a drug trial and they had given me the placebo.

I started taking two at a time--there was nothing else I could do, and basically, I was in enough pain that I didn't actually give a shit about whether it would make me high or sick to my stomach or anything, all I wanted was the incredible pain in my mouth to go away. And it more or less did, with two, but it wasn't to be relied upon.

Dr. Berman had asked me to call in and let him know how I was doing, so I did in the early afternoon, before I started having to take two, and told him that I was still in some pain, but it wasn't so bad, and he said to call him again today, and he's see me again if it was still bad, because he didn't want me to spend the weekend in pain.

"O foo, I won't have to go in tomorrow, how bad could it get?" I thought. Well, I found out.

I had the French to do last night, (a sold-out show, because God hates me), so couldn't have gone to the dentist at the end of the day anyway, but I rang him after office hours and left a sad, painful message of pain saying that I needed to come in today a whole lot and I'd call him in the morning.

It really seems now that it's the tooth rather than the gum. Because the gum doesn't hurt at all anymore, and the swelling has gone down entirely, but when I had dinner last night, I bit down on some food on the wrong side of my jaw, and it wasn't even a hard bite, but it was hot food, and the second that food touched that tooth, I wished I was dead. I know that sounds like I'm exaggerating, like that's just an expression, but it's the bald truth. Death would have really been preferable to that pain.

So, I'm seeing Dr. Berman at 4.30p, not until 4.30p. And I feel really weird, though I only took one pill, I'm all loopy, much more so than yesterday when I was taking two. Do they build up in your system? So I have to spend the day at work kinda, well, high. Hope nobody notices...
