I need prayers badly. My toothache came back because, after spending all the money on the doctor and the prescriptions for blood pressure medicine, there was nothing left over for the dentist. The pain is unbearable and, this time, I really can’t take anything for it because the on thing that works (ibuprofen) raises my blood pressure. The pastor from my church gave me money for the tooth but my blood pressure is so high, (160/110) there is no way they will pull the tooth. The pain makes the blood pressure worse and the blood pressure keeps me from being able to do anything about the pain.
I have already missed two days of classes and am in danger of being dropped from at least two of my classes. Not to mention the fact that I have to work today in a very stressful situation – just me and my roommate on a job where he is not comfortable with just the two of us working because he hates working with just a two person crew. I cannot call in sick and I hate working like this with my blood pressure so high.
I will be calling the doctor after work to get an appointment to see if there is anything she can do for my blood pressure or the pain in my tooth (preferably both) until it is safe for my tooth to be pulled.
It hurts so bad I just don’t know what to do right now. I have to work and I cannot miss anymore school.
