Holy Crap This Hurts!

I haven't posted anything for five days because I have had a tooth ache.

Now that may sound like a whiny baby excuse for not going to the gym but my head has felt like it is going to explode.  I really do have a high tolerance for pain and misery but this one has been the mother of all tooth aches.

I have looked on the web for any kind of solution beyond going to the dentist and I have found some of the most original remedies i would have never imagined.  Everything from sliced cucumber to tea bags.  Some say hot water and then another person will say cold water. 

I have used hydrogen peroxide, ice cubes, warm salt water, toothpaste, vanilla extract, ice cream, heating pads, and on and on.

Needless to say I haven't felt like going to the gym so I could feel my heart trying to pound its way to freedom through my tooth.

I guess I'll have to eventually go to the dentist but I don't want to.  Not because I'm afraid of the dentist, but just his billing system.  I really hate paying a huge bill just so he can work three days a week, have two homes, own a ski boat, and take his staff yearly to Hawaii, and then listen to him complain how tough business is because of the high cost of insurance.

Then on top of that listen to him lecture me about my mouth like it is dirty underwear and why haven't I taken care of it.  Gees, I wonder why, Doc?  Would it be because it cost a thousand dollars to have a filling and you want all the money up front.

So back to the gym thing since I got that off my mind.

I really only lost one day per my schedule which was to be a heavy day of lifting.  And missing this morning can really be made up tomorrow.  I'll do just fine.

My tooth hurts so I'm going to get an ice cube.

Later,
