I've had a toothache since Sunday afternoon. It's been a while since the last time I've had any kind of pain coming from this particular part of my mouth, but I guess it was only a matter of time before it happened again. Go figure that this would occur less than a month after my dental insurance coverage ended. One of the few downfalls to my new position is that my status does not allow for dental coverage. But if this pain doesn't go away in the next couple days, I'll be forced to go to a dentist and have to pay out of pocket.

The last time this happened, I want to say the pain stopped after a few days, but it's been a while so it could have been a week before the pain subsided. Either way, I really should go see a dentist and find out what can be done about it. I know that I'll need surgery. That's what the last dentist I went to said so I'll probably just hear the same thing. Perhaps they'll be able to give me some kind of pain meds to help with this until I can afford to take time off to have a surgical procedure.

Today was day two in the two week phone training. I still have so much to learn, but my mentor was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was able to take to navigating the program, considering I'd never had experience with it prior to being hired on. I don't have all the access that I need yet, however, so that kind of prohibits me from being able to do the work in full on my own. I shadowed yesterday and this morning, but I did the driving for the second half of the day. My mentor was right there next to me doing all the talking and writing down where I'd need to go, but I was able to keep up with the call. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

This coming weekend is a three day weekend and I have a few things going on, besides the dentist. I have an eye appointment where they will be finalizing my contact lens prescription so that'll be nice. I'll be able to take the script elsewhere once my new insurance kicks in. I will most likely be going to the dentist afterwards, since it'll be on the way home. I'm going to call tomorrow to see about setting up a time for that since I'm not sure those places take walk-ins.

I also have to return some articles of clothing and perhaps locate a couple more bottoms {ie: skirts, pants, etc} for work. I'm very curious to see what my first paycheck will look like. It'll probably be all over the place with holiday pay, union initiation fees and mileage reimbursement all changing it from what it would normally be. It'll most likely be March before I see what a normal check looks like for me.

Anywho, I need to rinse my mouth with salt water and take more Tylenol before calling it a night. Here's to hoping tomorrow is a pain free day ... who knows, maybe my tooth will fall out overnight and the relief will be immediate.

I don't know what's wrong with your tooth, but it might be worth looking for some oral anesthetic liquid if you can find some in a drug store (or online if you can't). It's very cheap ($5 range) and it numbs the area you put it on since it's pretty much just benzocaine. The bottles are small but in my experience they last a long time.
