What are Ms. Aimee's Rules of Camels, other than "Camels Rule!"?

I want my stupid headache to go away. It makes me not want to accomplish anything, and makes me feel nauseated. But I really don't want to go to bed at 7pm and not get anything done tonight, even if it's just "watch TV".

headache! BE GONE! This Instant! D'ya hear me? Meara is too good a person for you hanging around, spoiling her night. You go play with someone more deserving, ok?

Oh, for god's sake. I just had a filling repaired yesterday, and then this evening that tooth (or possibly one next to it -- hard to tell) is suddenly *extremely* painful when I bite down or even just touch it. I'm afraid this means another root canal. Damn it.

New fillings are sometimes sensitive, Tep. Give it some time.

Hec speaks wisely, Tep. My last filling took about 3 months to fully settle in (which doesn't mean 3 months of serious pain; it was a week of pain-when-stimulated, a couple of months of short little jabs of pain with random very hot or very cold drinks, and a month of extremely occasional mild discomfort), which the dentist reassured me was totally normal. The upside was that after the initial miseries, it has been as docile and pain-free a filling as ever filled, and hasn't given a speck of trouble.

It's just throwing me for a loop because I got the filling yesterday afternoon and, once the novocaine wore off, it didn't hurt, even when I bit down or poked at it. And then this evening I bit down on chili (not a notoriously crunchy or hard food) and got a sudden electric zap. And now, because I can't seem to do things that are good for me, every time I press it with my finger, it's a hard-core electric zap pain.

I just would have expected it to hurt all along, starting immediately after the filling, instead of waiting a day and then hurting.

So I go for the immediate gloom-and-doom paranoiac scenario. (EVIL TOOTH WILL EXPLODE IN 10 SECONDS.)

Steph, was it the first time that it had been in contact with something hot?

Dromedarys are the One True Camel. Bactarains are ok in a pinch, but Ms Aimee prefers the one-humped sort.

Alpacas and llamas are also acceptable forms of camels if one were to be shopping for camels that Ms Aimee can own. But always buy at least two as they are pack animals and need to have companions.

IOW - buy me a camel.

Or carmel. I like carmels just as much and don't have quite so many rules.

Also? Watching animal documentaries makes me want to ask billytea all sorts of questions. Such as, the fossa: WTF?

No, I had coffee this morning. It's freaky.
