Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Yeah, the teeth pain is what got me to call the doctor. I thought, well, maybe my teeth are just fucked, but the timing is suspicious w/r/t the sinus pain. The ear infection is just a bonus that probably laid the groundwork for the pain.

If I could roto-root my skull and start with a clean inside, that would be great. (I know that's what the neti pot does in theory, but it hasn't been roto-rooting so well.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Or one of those sucker-things from the dentist right into my lungs.

this is me also.

I'm glad you have the good drugs Steph.

Good luck Aims.

You might try hot compresses on your face for temporary relief of pain - I find it helps me.

Oh wow, really? When I had a tooth infected I tried putting a heat pad against my face and it literally made me scream out loud it made it hurt so much worse. This wouldn't be directly over the infection site so maybe a different case but just the idea makes me cringe.

And yet, people keep telling me that trepanation is not a viable answer.

I hope you feel better soon, Steph.

I'm so glad you went to the doctor, Teppy, because those are things that just don't clear up on their own.

I'm disturbed at how long the ear infection has been going on. I hope in a week I feel like Wonder Woman. Or at least non-ill Teppy.

Hello? Sorry I've been semi- dark for so long. New job doesn't have me sitting in a dark theater waiting for others to do things, like old jobs. So I'm like 3200 posts behind. It's summer now, so a chance to actually be part of the conversation. So I decided to skip ahead. I tried!! But y'all kept talking, and moving the goal posts.

So? What did I miss?

I forgot how utterly disgusting the bowel prep liquid tastes. It starts out okay, but rapidly gets oogy. I am grateful for the tip of mixing it with ginger ale.

Yuck, Vortex. My problem with it was not so much the taste as the sheer volume.

I hope everything goes well tomorrow.
