I really just want to crawl in a ball right now. This year has been probably the worst year of my life so far. Everything that could have gone wrong, has, and as much as I hate to even verbalize it and put it out there in the universe, I'm waiting for a person to die, because that's where it seems it's headed.
So the year started with my eyes getting messed up for 2 months. Then my sister passed out and nearly cracked her head open, and in the process found out she has a thyroid problem. Then my cat died. Then my mother fell down the steps of the Brooklyn Museum and broke her ankle. I almost lost my job. I haven't felt 100% since my bronchitis/ebola virus in the summer. I fight with FH on an every other day basis. So how could it get any worse.
Well, my tooth/upper jaw had been really hurting since Friday, so I was able to see the dentist this morning, and they took xrays. They ruled out a major infection, abcess, or cavity, which is both good and bad news. Good news that I don't have any of those things. Bad news, that they can't pinpoint it and treat it. So....they determined what's causing the pain is that it's my wisdom teeth, which grew in sideways, but hadn't really caused any problems, so they never did anything about it. Now they think they're trying to straighten themselves out, and have no where to go, so that's what causing the pain. Long story short...they're recommending I get all 4 taken out ASAP.
I don't have dental insurance.
FH is MAD at me. He is actually mad at me, because the oral surgeon recommended I get my jaw broken and corrected 10 years ago for my underbite, and while doing that to get the teeth out. He thinks my parents didn't do it then because they would rather have waited until it would be my problem/responsibility. That partly may have been the case, but my parents also didn't have the money back then to take care of it, and it wasn't crucial back then.
So now he wants me to wait 6 months until we're married, and hopefully I can be on his dental at that point to do it. I don't know though. I'm chipmunking out right now. The dentist gave me antibiotics and told me to take motrin, but that is just a reprieve of the symptoms, and will not take care of the root problem, and they said it will reoccur in the future until I get them out. So what if it gets impacted or infected for the wedding, and my face blows up, and then photo and video is a waste????
I don't know what to do anymore, and I'm so frustrated. I'm pissed too because my boss is pissed off at me today, he found a typo in a letter I was working on, BUT the letter was deeply buried in my desk, meaning he was micromanaging and going through my desk early this morning. So needless to say he was not happy with me when I walked right back out the door after coming in, only to return and say, god for-effing-bid, that I will need to take a day or two off in the not so distant future to have surgery. And I got an attitude about it!!!! Because I forgot, the part time admin can go on a week vaca, the OM can take off probably a total of 1.5 months a year, but I'm not allowed to take off EVER even for surgery. I forgot that was in my job description.
Sorry if I'm venting too much or seem like I'm whining to anyone. I just really cannot tolerate this shiz anymore, and I'm truly afraid of what's going to go wrong next.

Thanks girls...
I'm going to see how this week goes with the medicine, and depending on the price and what I can finagle with coverage, take it from there.
Who knows, maybe I'll be married next month
that's not a bad idea . I was going to say. . get married at the courthouse for insurance - don't tell anybody and then do it in the church for real!
