This flu might actually be an abscessed wisdom tooth and I tried calling an emergency hotline to get an ok to go the er to get it checked out urgently (despite being absolutely terrified of dentists, but this is serious with the fever and everything), but haha, there is no emergency dentist in this city during the weekends :))) I’d need to go to another city for it tomorrow, but man, it’s difficult to get there without a car and I don’t even have that kind of money for a taxi to there and back… I could take a train and bus there, but with this stupid ass fever it feels impossible.

”Funnily” the website of the local hospital says that they have emergency dentists available, so wtf??? No mention of there not being such service during the weekends??

Booking a private dentist appointment for tomorrow is an option, but then again… money…

I think I’m gonna cry some more and eat a banana and go back to sleep if I can.

#the dude on the phone was literally just like ’’well try to survive until monday then’’#thanks #the pain is thankfully mild and tolerable with regular painkillers but :((#i’m scared that it’ll get much worse #the lymph node underneath the tooth started swelling up in the afternoon #coupled with this tooth ache which is why i didn’t go see a dentist on wednesday when the fever started #i thought it was a flu because of the sore muscles and stuff #anxiety + depression + extreme fear of dentists is such a shitty combo #can’t recommend #my teeth are fucked
