OUCH !
Like a big Dumb A**, I Took a fall. I twisted my ankle and fell through the Kitchen folding door. It was strong enough to not break but did not break my fall. Apparently I clinched my teeth together when I fell and busted a lower left molar on my right side. It was already decayed and ready to go I guess. You'd think that I never brush but I do so much my arm gets tired. I don't know if you can see the reddish spot in the middle of the hole but that is a friggin nerve. The sharp jagged edges of the tooth was scratching (and still is) the inside of my cheek so I ground it off a bit with a Dremal Rotary Grinder, and like I told Babz starting out at 7500 rpms was a bad idea, tooth is softer than you'd think 3500 rpms is quite enough. Anyway I got it smoothed out a little bit so it doesn't cut me when I chew. I guess I'll have to make an appointment at the Indian Dentistry Clinic pretty soon, unless the nerve dies out and then I'll probably just put it off like I normally do. What the Hell, I like soft foods anyway. Sorry if this grosses anybody out.

Well after a busy Sunday I decided to come back and leave a comment about a K-9 officer that was left in a vehicle by his policeman handler for 13 hours in the Arizona heat. The K-9 was found dead in the vehicle. I emailed you the article.
I live by the "maybe if I ignore it will go away" train of thought, and I was right -- I ignored a lot of tooth problems and my teeth did go away. Lucky for me I have my front teeth, but all my molars are history. You're lookin' at a likely abscess -- you better call the dentist and have the tooth fixed or pulled. I once let n abscess go and the infection spread to my neck, chest, and arm. I didn't know it but I was a heart beat away from blood poisoning. I finally hurt so badly, I called a dentist and they said they wouldn't see me and to get my ass (my words, not theirs) to an emergency room. So I ignored that warning also, that evening I was sitting a the kitchen table and I rested my temple against my fist and about a cup or two of puss ran out of my mouth (gross huh?) and the next day the pain stopped and I totally ignore the entire episode, and every year or two after that I was racked with abscess after abscess. I finally lost most of my molars because of severe jaw damage. Scared you yet?
nope, not scared, i've had abscesses before and i've had them bust and drain ass juice before, didn't care for it much, i've already lost 5 molars and if it starts to hurt at all my butt will be at the dentist's office post haste. thanks for the heads up on the K-9 that died. that cop aught to pay!
Owch!!! do you feel any better today??
yeah i'm ok, i have a cut on the inside of my cheek and a blister on my toungue but other than that things are fine, i hope you are doing well.
