Hello, from the lost one.
I am very sorry for not being in touch over the last month or so.
I am also ashamed to having to admit that I have given up on our experiment. I gave up after a first few days.
And I am quite annoyed that it had to take me over an hour to find a post by you so that I could contact you. Is there really not a single way to find posts by a person by simply typing for example their name in the search box or something like that instead of having to scroll down through the hundreds of posts from each day till one finds the person they are looking for?
Or is it just me?
I have had a month of hell. I have the most stupid, rude, self-centered, smart ass dentist ever. I am so upset by him, I could probably strangle him without regret. And I would never hurt any living being, not even a worm, an ant or a fly. I am an ethical vegan and animal well-being and safety are practically who I am.
The idiot kept postponing repairing one of my teeth for over a year. It was just an everyday simple caries. He could have fixed it in 15 minutes tops. It took him a year to repair exactly the same tooth, just on the other side, 6 down left. Two root canals, always leaving the tooth opened afterwards, no filling,... My gums got swollen the size of a chestnut, he didn't care much. Finally with antibiotics and a root canal, the second one the same tooth in 3 months, my gums went back to normal. But he again refused to finish repairing this very tooth by just giving me a filling on top.
That was planned for the second part of August.
That would mske my tooth on which I had 2 root canals tons opened for over 4 months. He never finishes what he starts. He just postpones the next step in the repairing process for four months. By that time, new complications occurre on the same tooth, so the tooth never gets done, finished.
The 6th tooth, down on the left, the one with a caries for over a year, obviously needed some help, so the tooth next to it, took over some duties from number 6. So it started aching. It broke in two. A beautifully looking, health tooth, 5 down left, broke in the middle. There was nothing else to do but to pull it out.
So because of that self-righteous, idiot I lost a healthy tooth. It would never have happened had he repaired the tooth next to it when I first asked. Or even the third or fifth time.
Before extracting the tooth, he gave me a local anasthesia and yelled at me, who was I to criticize his way of working,...
Now, after a month of antibiotics due to an infection, after going to the dentist every second day so he gives me new medicine in my wounded gums where my tooth used to be, and after feeling like crap all this time, my tooth has still not healed. It is still super sensitive, the wound is open, the gums are sore, swollen, irritated,....
I can hardly keep my eyes open. I am exhausted. From a tooth.... hmmm?!
And so on and on...
That is why I sort of gave up on our experiment. I couldn't deal with anything else but my dental health. But I will have another go at it as soon as I am better.
I do check the posts here from time to time, briefly, I just don't find the energy to respond. I once answered a girl's post, because I thought they got a wrong advice by another member. And that just might be it.
Cobnrats on your writing a book. And thanks for the link in your last post. I did read it. Rumination,...
I hope I feel like my usual self soon. The teeth situation has to get better sooner or later. π.
Stay strong! Keep on going! Thanks for trying to spread awareness on ocd.
Have a lovely day!
