My trip to the ER.

So I fell asleep for a few hours this morning. I woke up and my face hurt. I did a second rinse on my cottons. I sent out the text and the call, in an attempt to get more. I then went into the bathroom, and took a look at my face. The swelling is worse, the pain is worse. I looked inside my mouth, and next to the tooth is an open sore. I press on it, and puss leaks out. I got as much of the puss out as possible. The swelling was still huge. That and this headache, had me worried. I decided I needed to go to the ER. I'm not sure that was the best idea. I don't think they were keen to the idea, that I'm on dilaudid, but I think they underestimated the pain I'm in because I am currently on drugs. I told them that I had finished my prescription of vicodin that I had from when I went to the doctor 2 weeks ago. They only gave me 15 vicodin. I am going to have to get some more from my dentist when I go to see him. I am out of dilaudid, and I don't want to buy any more. I want to use these vicodins to step down gently. Maybe make it til next weekend. I have about $100, and I don't want to spend any of that on drugs unless some heroin shows up in town.

In the next room at the ER there was an older german lady, whose children had brought her into the ER because she was suicidal. Listening to her explain to the doctor that she was thinking of trying to hire someone to kill her, was both funny and one of the saddest things I've ever heard.
