Good goat times today.
Yes, finally back where I belong.
I have been away for 2 weeks. I honestly can’t remember the last time I was away for that long. It must be years. A decade?
Maybe I should have stayed home and called the doctor about the swelling. They only have phone hours in the morning. But I prioritzed the gaot time over that. I’m feeling pretty fine, other than the swelling. I’m thinking it’s an abscess and I’m thinking it will need to be drained somehow and I am worried about that.
But today, goats. So good to see them again. And Jeanette. My happy place. They seemed happy to see me, but happier to see breakfast.
Had a nice little chat with Jeanette, and she expressed her sympathies of course.
It was just good to be back. Hanging out with everyone. Treats for everyone. Cuddles for everyone. It calms the storm in my head when I’m with them.
Lots of visitors today. Lots of kids in the pen, one of them was Lily who I have met before. She’s the girl who is always interested in my camera. The adult who was with her rememebered that we (Lily and I) had met before, and he asked a bit about my camera. That was nice. And the goats got lots of cuddles from the kids. One of the adults said about Bella “It has a big butt”. Sure when people say it about the goats it’s fine, but when I say it to random ladies in the street I’m being “Inappropriate” and I am “cancelled”. Whatever.
Lovely warm day, probably one of the last above 20C/68F this year.
Back to goats, and now back to soup. Going to try me some, first hot meal in more than a week.

Back with my SkyGirl, thankfully.
Can you tell my left jaw is swollen up? Not sure how evident it is.
Funny thing happened this morning on my way to the goats. Because i’m still a bit off and foggy in the head, I didn’t bring my mp3 player. Normally I listen to an audiobook and just ignore the world. I was walking long the path and a jogger came towards me. And as he passed he said something to me. I wasn’t sure what he said, it sounded like HI SHAHURR. Or something. I was mulling it over in my head, trying to decipher it. And then I realised, he had said NICE SHIRT. Haha. I was wearing my Andor shirt. Cool.
There was a worker doing plant work or tidying and he said good morning to me as I passed. I wonder how many people talk to me when I’m listening to my audiobooks and think I’m terribly rude for not answering..

Goats for the first time in two weeks, soup for the first time in.. more than a week. That was reallyreally good.
It wasn’t all good today, though.
When I got home I realised I hadn’t checked my mailbox in two weeks. I usually check it when i come home from goat trips. We only get mail delivered two days a week now and there is almost never any mail anyway. Still stupid of me though, it’s not like i haven’t been outside the last two weeks. Shoulda checked.
But today I found two notices from a plumber-ish company that needs to check and clean our ventilation systems, one saying I had to be home between 8-16 today to let them in, and one saying I had to be home Friday between 8-16. I don’t know why I got two, with different dates. Best I can guess is they came by while I was at the goats and they didn’t find me home and so they left a note saying to be home Friday. But I don’t know. I also had two bundles of commercials, and I am on the ‘no commercials’ register. Maybe someone put mail that doesn’t belong to me in my mailbox? I hae suspicion some people do that some times. Anyway, I just don’t know.
I called the company to ask what was up, and the guy I talked to said he’d send my number to their people who were on location, because they’d better know what was going on. And then I waited and nothing, no one called back. Sigh. So now I’m worryin about that. Even if all goes smoothly, knowing that strangers are going to come “some time between 8am and 4 pm” that is super triggering for me. I can’t stand having strangers iny my apartment and having to set aside a whole day to worry about when they’ll come. Ugh. i hate it. And now I have to worry if they came today while I was out? Normally I think in these cases you have to pay if you are not home and haven’t left a key with the housing association. But maybe that’s only when they have to do the maintennance on all apartments at hte same time, I remember that happening in prior years. Where all tennants have to be home so they whole system can be checked. The notices didn’t say anything about everyone having to have it done at the same time. And it didn’t say anything about a fee if you didn’t comply. So I don’t think they can demand that of me, when they didn’t warn about it ahead of time. But now i’m worrying about that, and i’ll be worrying about Friday when they will probably come? And what if i call the doctor tomorrow and I have an abscess and the next time they can fit me in to deal with it is… Friday.
Ugh why am i such a worryworth.
I guess i’ll just have to wait and see if they come Friday. And try to deal with it. What a mess.
Soup was great, tho. So good to have a hot delish meal again.

Stuck in the middle with goats.
Again, the swelling doesn’t really show up that much. At this point it’s not so much that it’s a big swelling, it’s more that it’s really tight and hard. if I feel both sides of my jaw at the same time then the actual jawline doesn’t feel too different, but on one side it then goes down to a soft underside, and on the bad side it feels almost like the jaw just continues, there’s not soft underside.

Yay uncle’s back!
I missed that greeting.

Well, I had a rude awakening this morning.
Tired from getting back to outside life yesterday, i was still in dreams when my phone rang just before 9 am.
I didn’t manage to get it before it stopped ringing. But I got up and called back.
As I had expected it was the ventilation cleaners. To recap, after not checking my mailbox for two weeks, yesterday I found two notices from them, one saying I had to be home Monday, one Friday, to let them in.
The guy I talked to couldn’t really explain, but he said they’d been by Monday and I hadn’t been there (out goating, hooray). He said that if it was okay then they could just come straight over and get it done right away.
Now I hate having strangers in my apartment and having no time to do any cleaning at all in my horrible apartment was not good. But still. Ten minutes of panic would be so much better than a whole day of dreadful anxiety, 8 am to 4 pm. So I just said yes. Get it over with, get it done.
He said they’d be there in 10 minutes. So I just got in my clothes real quick. And then they came, two guys. They did some quick cleaning of the ventilation in the kitchen and bathroom. Five minutes ish. And then they were gone.
So all in all that worked out pretty much as good as it could. It would have ben so much worse if I had to wait for days and then a whole day of not knowing when they’d come. This wasn’t fun, but it was over and done quickly. So. That’s pretty good.
In other news, I have decided to take one more day to let the antibiotics work. I know this isn’t the right thing to do, I should have called the doctor in the morning. I’m feeling fine, but I still have the swelling. Unless there’s super progress, I will call tomorrow. I just want to do nothing today. And do it and do it and do it.

“Hunan jaws are like shark jaws, right?”
Doctor Luna is on the case.

.
The day is winding down. How’s it going?
Well, actually I think there is progress. I actually feel like the swelling has gone down now.
there’s still a hard block under my left jaw, and that shouldn’t be there. Unle the soft tissue on the other side. But it is smaller. I can feel it now, it clearly is.
So. I guess I’m changing the plan. I was planning to call the doctor tomorrow. But I think instead i’m going to run the antibiotics course. I have enough till Friday. So. If I still have a swelling on Friday I guess I’ll call. But for now I think i’ll hold off.
I keep touching it to see is it smaller.. is it smaller. But yes, it is. It has shrunked. So hey. That’s good. Maybe.. it will be ok. Maybe I can slowly get back to normal routine? Here’s to hoping.

Guess what I got today?
Pizza!
Yum. My first solid hot meal since the tooth escape.
And my mouth seems to be coping with everything I throw at it so far. There’s still a bit of tenderness right at the spot of the missing tooth. But no pain, and generally it seems fine.
I still have some swelling under the jaw, but it’s not too much now. Even though it’s not too big, it’s still quite hard though. On the right side there’s soft tissue and on the left side it almost feels like the jaw is extended, the part that’s supposed to be soft feel hard as bone. But it’s shrinking and it’s so much better than just a couple of days ago. And still a couple of days of antibiotics to go.
i haven’t felt great today. Kind of tired and headachey, but more like a normal bleh day than the horrible pain and groggy days recently. So it’s not too bad. And the pizza is good.
I am also getting too out of shape. I just had my comeback to exercise when the teeth situation escaled and I had to stop to give the wound time to heal and everything. And to be honest I have been eating way too much ice cream. And the swollen jaw has messed with my posture, causing back pains to increase a lot. There’s always something!
Hopefully I can get back on the right path. I think next week i’ll make an effort to get back to the old routines. Wish me luck!

Look, I’m not. I’m not saying anything. In particular. You can unfriend me if you want. I hope the students in today’s school shooting will pull through. I hope the world will become a better place some day, for the children of the future. We’re stuck with this one. I wish there were no gun deaths. I wish there weren’t people cheering for guys that travel across state lines with semi-automatics to murder people in the streets, i wish there weren’t assassinations, I wish there weren’t school shootings, i wish there were babies grabbing guns out of their parents’ handbags and accidentally shooting their siblings, I wish there weren’t terrorist attacks. I wish there weren’t humans. Can you imagine an Earth where animals just roamed free and there was no humanity to corrupt it.
Okay, I should have probably stuck to saying nothing. I must be feeling better if I’m shtposting on facebook. You can unfriend, me that’s okay. We live in a world where pro-life people are for the death penalty, there’s no rhyme or reason to anything.

Not the best start to the day. When I finally got up I found a bill slipped through my mail slot
It was a bill from Arhusbolig. Housing portal. The weird thing is that i am already a member of their site, I have been for many decades. It was through them that I moved here almost 20 years ago.
This was a bill for joining them for rehousing. I have to check everything now. I really hope they haven’t just created a new user for me, I have decades of seniority on my old user.
I don’t really understand why I have to pay to join them for rehousing, when it’s the housing association that’s forcine to get rehoused. But it’s a pretty small amount anyway, so that doesn’t worry me. It worries me that there may be a mixup of accounts. And the timing, why now? It’s dated September 4th, why do I get it through my mail slot on the 11th. And why through my mail slot and not my maibox downstairs, can’t remember the last time I got mail through the door. And why now when we started the rehousing process in July.
Ugh. More to worry about and deal with. I’ll have to check the user Id numbers to see if my old user got added to the rehousing list or if they hade a new user and if I’ll have to do something about that.
I don’t know how I’d get through moving right now, I feel like i’m barely getting through the days. I’d rather wait till March. But then that would come with the pressure of almost no time gap for moving.
Other than that, I still have some swelling under the chin. Not too much, but it’s harder than on the other side.
Also feeling quite depressed and stressed. Was supposed to go see the goats today, but I slept till 10 instead. And then saw the bill and thought “oh what fkn now”. I really hope next week I can get back to my old routine completely. Here’s hoping.
I’m gonna grab me some soup and try to calm down.

I’m not gonna go on about it, I don’t matter, it don’t matter. I just can’t help wonder what the reaction would be if a Democrat led government wanted to force everyone to honour a CNN anchor or a whoke lib blogger or whatever. Be silent for the masses and stand up for the virtue signsl.
Bla bla, on with the freakshow.

Just be goat. Take a page out of Bella’s book, and then eat the page because you’re a goat.

I feel like my swelling has gone down more. Is it crazy to think that soup makes it shrink? The heat? I feel like it has shrunk most on days when I have had hot food, twice soup and once pizza. Ok ok maybe this just an excuse to eat more soup and pizza.
Anyway, there’s barely a swelling now. The left side under my jaw is still hader than the right. But it’s close to normal I think. Got one more antibiotic dose for today and I think two for tomorrow. If i still feel the hardening under my jaw on Monday I guess I’ll call the doctor maybe, but right now it feels like it’s going as it should.
Tomorrow I’ll have to call the housing association to make sure they housing portal letter is not a mistake. I imagine they set up a specific account to handle the rehousing, but I do think it’s odd I have to pay for that when I already have a paying account, and I do have to check i’m not losing seniority over this. Fiddlesticks, I hate calling. There have been way too many calls and appointments lately. I just want to hide away in a cave in the mountains.
Otherwise the plan is to try to relax and spoil myself over the weekend and then Monday it’s back to work. And by that I mean living healthier and taking care of goats and doing exercising. Hopefully I can find my way back to that, and hopefully there are no more grenades thrown into the mix.
And hey I hope they whole world will heal and everything will be fine, oh there’s another school shooting today cool. I’m sure the flag will be at half mast for that. And so on and so forth.
I need to sleep for a year or two. Wake me if the nukes drop.
11/9 2025

.
Alright, alright, alright.
I just called the housing association and asked about the housing portal bill I got through the door yesterday.
They said it was an error and that I shouldn’t pay it.
So, that’s.. good. I’m still a bit mystified by it all and worried something will go wrong somewhere. But I’m glad I got the call done and got it sorted. I get so nervous when making calls. The anxiety and phobia just flaring up. Imagine you’re getting ready to walk a tightrope between two skyscrapers, that’s how I feel when I start dialling the phone.
A relief to get it done and hopefully I won’t have to edeal with that anymore.
I’m feeling okay. Left underjaw still a bit harder than the right, but there’s not that big difference anymore. One day of antibiotics left.
Just going to try to vegetate now. Maybe I’ll sprout beans.
12/9 2025

.
Good thing: The housing assoc has fixed their site so I can again monitor my water/electricity/heating usage.
Bad thing: Facebook doesn’t not think there’s anything wrong with the bot comments that are cleary scamming and they will not be removing them.
You win some, you lose some.
My dad’s been off to a class reunion today. Last I heard it was going well, hopefully he’ll get home alright. Hope he has had a good time. Can’t help worrying a little when he goes off by himself to another part of the country. But I’m sure people have been helping him out as needed. Sometimes it’s strange to think about how your parents have whole lives before you even appeared in them. People and places that are integral parts of their history, but not part of yours. Curious. Our how about just the history of the country. It seems odd that there should have been a Denmark in the 1800’s, but I’m pretty sure there was. What’s that all about? And what was Denmark like before there were humans here?
Man, I shouldn’t have smoked all that soup. *takes a puff on the soup pipe and exhales slowly*. Good stuff. man.
Anyway, hope this well finds you Friday, actually.

If the 2nd amendment is all about protecting you from a tyrannical government… well, judging by the current state of affairs, it’s not doing its job very well. The tyrannical government seems to be doing just fine. Just fine.
It’s a cute idea about a united population opposing a tyrannical government. How’s that ever going to happen when the population is split in two? At most you’ll get two armed sides fighting each other while the tyrannical government sits back and reaps the profit.
But what do I know. I support the amendment that lets people on Facebook talk out of their ass, if that ever gets repealed I’ll be screwed.

I feel like it shouldn’t be necessary to say it, but maybe I should jus clarify that I’m not cheering for murder. I am not saying anyone deserved to get murdered. I’m not going to be guilted into whitewashing someone I don’t like, but I’m not happy about gun deaths. I think there should be no gun deaths. I think they SHOULD take your guns away, all your guns, even from the good guys with guns.
But assassinations don’t make me happy. I am not pro-assassination.
Just in case there was some confusion.
It’s worth remembering that there are millions and millions of people saying millions and millions of things. If you want to find certain groups saying certain things, I’m sure you can. It’s the internet. It’s full of shit. I think it’s worth remember, for both sides, that not all people, on both sides, agree with all the shit that some people, on both sides, say.
I would like to think that most people are actually pretty reasonable at their core.
It’s too bad there are very smart people, like Kirk or whoever you want to pick on the other side, who amass fortune and fame by stirring up the differences and stoking the flames and inciting the wars.
But here we are. And there is no solution. As long as the world is crammed full of people that want and believe different things. You can’t de-escalate this conflict. You can’t make me believe in god, I can’t make you not believe in god. You can’t make me think everyone should have military grade firearms, I can’t make you think you shouldn’t have any guns. And does anyone think that politics and the systems are working and not corrupted. Will there ever be a president in America again that will have support from everyone because they think he was fairly elected, even if they disagree with him. Is there ever again going to be a situation where the losing side will say “that’s too bad, but fair is fair”. Was there ever.
Is it just my dark mind that does not let me see any sunshine above the clouds?
Alright alright. I’ll shut up now. And I’ll try to shut up about politics, just because it makes myself wfeel worse to think and talk about it. I don’t know what’s more annoying for you guys, political rants or tooth complains. But I prefer to focus on goats and soup. I wish that was all I ever had to think about.
Bla bla the human vuvuzela hath spoked! Hope you’re having a good weekend. The only thing certain in life is death and taxes. Until we overthrow the tyrannical government and turn to communism.

Off anti-biotics and painkillers for a few days. Feeling… alright. I still feel like the underside of my left jaw is a bit different. From before, from the right. But it’s not really swollen. Not painful. Maybe it was just always like that but i’m only noticing it now. Who knows. I hope I’m done with the garmonbozia for now, the pain and suffering.
Menetally I’m not doing super well. Maybe it’s the Kirk debates, maybe it’s just that as the physical pain subsides it leave space for the depression to fill the gaps. Who knows. Maybe Spock.
But a lazy Sunday. And hopefully tomorrow I will start inching back to the old routine. It wasn’t the funnest of summers and the future afears me. But what are you going to do. Time is a waterfall, just cling on to your barrel.

The week is winding down. It hasn’t been the best week. But it has been a lot better than last week.
Hooves crossed my tooth situation is stable now. No more pain, please.
The weather forecast isn’t looking great. Fall is falling. We are heading into the dreaded 8 months of doom and gloom. Maybe we have a couple of almost summery days left, but that will be it. The darkening because. And I don’t like it. I don’t always cope well with heat, but I much prefer having to cool myself down compared to having to heat myself up. Curse this poor circulation.
And next week I will try to get back to a more normal self. I need to start working on losing some weight again. I have unfortunately let the situation slide way too much. The rollercoaster rides on. First step will be trying to get back in the habit of regular exercises. I have only done it once in a month. Depression to tooth extraction to recovery. I really really need to make exercising part of my schedule again. Here’s hoping I can accomplish it. I better not look up, I’m sure I’ll see a meteor coming if I do. There’s always something.
Here’s to hoping for good things. Thank you to everyone who is sticking with me through the dreariness and obnoxioushnesh. Lovsh you lovsh!

Jaws

September 7th, 2025

t’s been a painful night.
Let’s see what the day brings.
1/9 2025

.
Who’s got two thumbs and one less tooth?
This guy.
Let me tell you the story.
Yes, the short version is that I got the tooth yanked.
The long version is as follows.
I had a super painful night. And a fever when I got up. Called my dentist the moment they opened. Thankfully they had an open appointment today.
I couldn’t swallow or look up at the ceiling without pain, I could barely open my mouth wide enough to brush my teeth. I was not doing so good.
I got the appointment for 2:30 pm. Now, I was feeling so bad and surely had an infection that i thought maybe they’d send me to the ER. I don’t know how these things work. But because i had that thought I decided to call dad and hear if he could join me. In case I needed help getting around. He was up for that. Because he’s always eager to help.
Now, we had a little snafu. He turned up at my house at 11 am, as I was trying to nap and gather strenght. I don’t know why he came so early, he even had a note with the time written when he was supposed to come meet me. So we suddenly had 3½ hours to kill. He did some errands and stuff and eventually we went to the dentist. Even with the time we had passed, we were still an hour early. Let me tell you. That was not a fun hour sitting in the dentist waiting room in really bad pain. It was pretty bad. But I was grateful to have my dad there, it’s nice to not be alone.
So finally the dentist called me in. He basically took one look in my mouth and said “yeah that’s gotta go”. He took an x-ray and as expected the tooth was infected and it was somewhat going into the jaw too.
So there wasn’t a whole lot of fussing around or discussing. The tooth had to go. And he got right to work. Anesthesia. Oh man. I definitely understand why people get addicted to opiods. That feeling of pain just … seeping away. After days of really rather excruciating pain. It was just gone. I was tempted to ask if I could just get Pepsi Max sized bottle of whatever he gave me.
My tnogue turned into a big wooly cloth in my mouth. Good thing i don’t have any hot dates today.
And then he yanked it out. It was a weird thing. Even when you’re not feeling the pain. It’s still weird to have someone cranking a tooth ouf your jawbone. It wasn’t pleasant. But it wasn’t too bad. Worse was the preliminary stuff when I was still feeling pain. Having to open my mouth wide to get stuff prodded in there, that was very unpleasant. The yanking itself, eh it was mildly curious.
So now I have one less tooth. I wish i had gone ahead and got it yanked right away instead of going through all the stuff the last month. But oh well. Hindsight is.. clearer than front sight.
Wouldn’t it be nice if this cleared up all my tooth troubles? Wouldn’t it? I’m scared it won’t. But I’m glad this got done.
The dentist said he wanted to see if I could manage it without penicillin. The swelling should go down and the pain go away in a couple of days. If I’m still having issues I have to contact them and get a prescription for some stuff.
Let’s hope it works out without more fuss.
It’s now just about 3 hours after the session. I am almost allowed to eat and drink again. I wish i’d eaten something beforehand…
I am feeling pain again. Not as bad as before. But there’s pain. I’ve been biting down on cotton pads for three hours. I am so ready to get something to eat and drink. First thing is going to be some painkillers. The dentist told me to take some of those.
And that was that.
And it turned out to be quite good that I had dad with me, because he suggested we go in the market next door if I needed to buy some stuff. So I bought iced creams and bananas. The dentist told me to start off eating cold and soft things if possible. So that’s my excuse for more ice creamed.
Oh and the cost of the procedure came out to just less of 2000Dkr/313usd. So it sucks having to pay that, but I was worried it would be 2 or 3 times that. Would have considerably cheaper if I’d gotten the tooth yanked the first time, but you live and learn. I’d just really like to be pain free. Here’s to hoping.
Thanks to dad for helping me and paying for the iced creams. Score! And thank you everyone for the support and advice.
i hope better days are ahead now. i’m going to have to take it easy for a few days. I miss the goats something fierce, but probably wouldn’t be a good idea to risk a headbutting right now.
Alright. Time for painkillers. Then a banana. Then a bunch of icedcreams.
The tooth is out there.
1/9 2025

.
Gosh darned I’m tired. It’s been a day. After a year. And a decade. And the whole y2k thing and. I’ma sleep tonight.
Funny things today, doing improvised sign language to dad and mumbling to mom on the phone, since I had to keep my mouth shut. For a change. Normally you know I gab gab gab, I never shut up. Had to bite down on cotton puffs for 3 hours. Felt good to get them out and get a drink.
Now it’s banana and ice cold Pepsi Max time.
You can’t handle the tooth!
1/9 2025

.
Oh hello world. Has anyone seen a tooth, I seem to be missing one?
Oh wait, it’s all coming back to me now. Well, the tooth isn’t. That’s gone for good.
Anyway, enough of the slapstick comedy routine. How am i doing? I’m doing fine. Better certainly than before the tooth pull. My jaw is still swollen and there’s pain, but again not as bad as before the pull. Hopefully the swelling and pain will subside over today and tomorrow, otherwise i’ll have to get in touch with the dentist and asc for all the anti bactanoids, which I believe is the correct terminanogy. The anesthesia may still be affecting my fingers.
Had good long sleep last night. Got woked up early by bulls dozing right outside my window louder than they have been for month. But what can you do. They quieted down eventually and I got a couple more hours sleep before they woke me up again.
it as a rough day yesterday, but hopefully the recovery will be without complications. You never know, it could happen.
2/9 2025

It is thundering outside. Autumn has come to Denmark.
And how am I feeling?
Okay, I suppose. Not in pain, which is really nice. I have taken painkillers, so it’s hard to gage exactly my condition. Without painkillers there would be pain, but nothing like before the extraction.
i still have a swelling under my chin. I am not sure if it has gone down or not. It’s certainly not as horrible feeling as before the extraction either. But it is annoying. It feels like it’s pushing on my throat.
The dentist said it could take 2-3 days for it all to settle. I think if I still have a lot of swelling and some pain and it’s bothering me tomorrow, i will probably call in and ask if hey maybe the antibiotics would be a good idea after all. i think they try not to prescribe those if they can avoid it. But I do wish they’d given me some. I do feel a bit off. All in all it’s good not to be in horrible pain though. And I suppose it’s normal that it takes a few days to get over having a piece of your skull forcibly removed.
Got a Protein & Pepsi delivery today. Although this time it was more a delivery of various yoghurts and iced creams and soft things. Some koldskål even though summer is over. But I’ll have a soft diet for a few days.
And the thunder goes on. I’d rather listen to that than to the dozing bulls.
2/9 2025

It’s interesting how many people are saying I should have had antibiotics. Obviously, I am not a doctor so I do not know much about it.
I was just looking on the googlewebs, and apparently Denmark is one of the foremost countries when it comes to limitg the use of antibiotics and research into the subject.
It also said that current projections say that in 2050 more people could be dying from antibiotic resistance than are currently dying from cancer. Now I’m not fact checking any of that.
But it’s just to maybe shed some light for the people who don’t understand why I wasn’t given antibiotics. I think we are pretty strict about it in Denmark. So that’s why, that’s why the dentist wanted to see if I could manage without them
Right now the painkillers I took last are wearing off and i’m not feeling great. I’m feeling a LOT better than before the extraction. But there’s pain. And there’s swelling. And it’s pressing on my throat and making it hard to open my mouth up wide. And I’m just feeling ab it off. So, as I think i said earlier, if i still feel like that tomorrow then i’ll call the dentist and ask if maybe we should do something. He did say it would take 2-3 days, so it’s not like this is necessarily abnormal.
I was talking to my parents on the phone and out of curiosity I asked if they knew if you can get antibiotics prescribed over the phone. Apparently dad said that’s illegal. He’s been out of the medical business for many decades though, I’m not sure that’s up to date information.
Anyway. I have had banana and iced creams and yoghurt and soft cheese snacks today. And Pepsi. not bad. I am paranoid about disturbing the wound. I do think the dentist could have given better information about how to behave after the extraction. I went home and googled for tips and there was stuff there that I wish he would have told me about. Unless of course those tips are just internet hogwash and I shouldn’t pay attention to them! Urgh. Haha. Well hopefully it will all be okay.
Sorry if this is all terribly annoying! But thank you being there and the advice and support, i am glad I a mot just alone with all this. Always helps to have a support system!

Hello hellow. it is 10 am and I am checking in. Press the button and reset the numbers.
How am i doing?
Better, I should say. Not great. But better.
I had a rough night. The pain seemed to be increasing.
And then I did something stupid and only took half the dosage of painkillers. Usually i have always taken 2 ibuprofen and 1 paracetamol. That’s always what I thought was the right dosage. But then when looking up how many paras to take after the toothpull, internet said 2. So okay, i’ve been taking 2. And that’s been helping. But last night i figured I’d just take the 1 as I’ve previously been used to doing.
And that was a mistake. Because it didn’t seem to help. And I was laying in bed and in pain. And about an hour later I was feeling I needed more help, but I wasn’t sure if it was okay to take 1 more para, if splitting the dosage like that was okay blabla i worry too much.
I ended up taking one more para. And i guess it helped some. I got some sleep. Not great, but something.
And when I got up this morning I was feeling somewhat better. I wasn’t sure if it was still the effect of the painkillers or not. But now it’s been about 8 hours without painkillers and I am still feeling improved. My fever has gone down, temperature still a bit eleavated but not in fever therritory. I still have swelling under the jaw and chin, but it’s not as much. It was that swelling that was really painful. It felt huge and tight and burning hot and constricting my throat last night. Now it’s a lot less excessive. i can swallow without huge pain. i can open my mouth a bit wider.
So I’m getting better. The dentist said it would take 2-3 days. It’s been 2 days. I guess i’m on track? I was planning to call the dentist today. But since I seem to be on track now I guess I’ll hold off. I’ll be honest, a big part of that is my avoidant self. Facing another possible dentist trip right now just seems awful. Unless it’s really necessary. I will monitor the situation I guess. If it gets worse today, or if it’s not markedly better tomorrow. Then I’ll call. But for now.. I’m feeling fairly okay without painkillers. Soo. Hopefully that will be okay.
Sorry for the rambling, but it helps me to write it all out. i am sure by now people know just to skim it when there’s a long post like this.
Oh also I wrote to my doc, or the nurse i usually see actually, and asked if i could get a prescription for the para painkillers. I don’t know if they do that over writing. i know stronger painkillers they demand you show up. But this is otc strength. The normal packages you buy are small and expensive. Because i guess there were too many people trying to use them to off themselves, and that leads to real bad results. So now access is very limited. Getting a prescription would save me a lot of money. I use them against back pain too sometimes. But I’ll see what they say about that.
So here we are now. Feeling not great, but better. Guess I will sit around and relax and eat soft and cold things. One day a day.

A Shocking development! Well, not quite. But a development.
My pain levels were starting to rise again, despite taking painkillers.
So I decided to bite the bullet, or gum it at least. And called the dentist. Explained the situation. The phone lady called back 5 minutes later after talking to the dentist. And told me they had prescribed antibioatics for me.
And now my dad is going to pick them up for me, because i am a spoiled child and because i’m really not feeling too well again.
Hopefully the antibiotics will do their thing and help me out. I am really tired of feeling rotten. Really tired in general. I know they would prefer us to manage without antibiotics but it seems like i need them. And I’m glad I didn’t listen to the avoidant voices in my head that told me to wait till tomorrow and see. Maybe i can aboid another painful night. I don’t know how quick that stuff’s supposed to work. But getting started the sooner the better. And i’m glad they could do it over the phone, I was dreading them saying i had to come in. I really don’t feel like going out right now. I probably won’t be seeing the goats till next week either, I miss them. But right I’m just not all there. Feels like the swelling has swole up after falling some in the morning.
Anyay, there’s another chapter in Lasse’s amazing adventures on the tooth fairy across the sea of pain and iced creams. Bleep bleep, this truck is backing up into the dumpster fire.
No let’s hope i’m on the right track now. Thanks for listening or skimming.

This is Lasse. This is Lasse on antibiotics.
So far so good. I feel a little better. I know that’s just psychosomatic, it will take a few days to work. But boy am I looking forward to getting rid of this burning hot tennis ball that’s been stuck in the side of my throat for days. That swelling can’t go down soon enough, that would just be swell.
I’m looking forward to eating real food too. I really want soup. But I don’t dare do that yet. I am still paranoid about disturbing the wound.
But anyway. So glad I got the antibiotics. Thank you everyone for helping nudge me along to it.
Jeanette says the goat miss me. I’m goign to choose to believe that, and not that they are just happy to get a break from me. Hopefully I’ll see them soon.
And who knows what wil lhappen next, I’m scared to find out. I need a hole to bury my head in. Or a big tub of iced cream

Oh hello. It’s your favourite tooth blogger here. Other media are lying to you, but I’m teeling you the tooth!
How am i doing today? Not great. I sure am glad that i got started on the antibiotics yesterday instead of waiting. Because it wouldn’t have cleared up on its own, that’s for sure. It hasn’t even been a full 24 hours of antibots so I know I can’t expect results yet, but I sure would like this painful swelling to go down. It’s better than it was but it’s not good. And I am just really… really.. tired. Of pain and discomfort and worry. Here’s to hoping I’ll start to see real results soon.
I had an eye doc appointment on Tuesday, but I called in and got that postponed. Hopefully i’m feeling better by then, but I don’t want to risk it and even if I feel better I still don’t feel like dealing with more stuff. Going places and being around people, it’s not easy for me even when I’m in good condition. Right now, forgeddabout it. Just a routine checkup anyway.
— and now technical difficulties on the computer and I’m just feeling really rotten. I am so ready for this week to be over. Boo hoo!

Nearing the end of another day. time seems slow like.. my.. thoughts.
It’s ben up and down today. For a while I felt better, then worse. Right now I feel the best since the extraction I think. There’s still a fairly big swelling, but right now it feels less severe. Feels like I can move my head and jaw more. It really grinds you down to have a big throbbing painful brick lodged in your throat, let me tell you.
Past the first 24 hours of antibiotics. Hopefully this is a sign it’s working and it will soon be a real improvement. HOPE. It’s what reberrions are built on. Wait that sounds racist. it was just meant to be another berry joke.
Orlright. Scheduled another delivery for tomorrow. I want more soft stuff. More bananas and yoghurt. Didn’t realise how much i’d want that. I don’t feel like biting on hard stuff. Sorry, Ironman. We’ll reschedule our date.
Other than that just trying to get through the time. One hour and hour.
I’m glad the whole world is doing great and this is the worst thing that’s happening to anyone, and yes it does take a lot of effort and courage to bear my hardships with such dignity. What great future lies ahead for us all, hooray!

Hello again, my friends. I hope this facebook post finds you well, actually.
How am I, actually?
Okayish. I think. Feeling the best I have since the tooth came out on Monday.
I still have a swelling, but it feels a lot less severe right now. I’m about a day and a half into the antibiotics, so I suppose it’s natural that it still needs time to work.
But I’m feeling so much better right now.
i wish the dentist had given me antibiotics right away. But I sure am glad I didn’t wait the full 3 days to call. It was a rough few days.
I guess it is my lymph node that’s swollen? I’m not a doctor, I just play one on tv. But that’s what it seems like, under my jaw. On the right side I can feel the normal little.. gladn or whatever. And on the left side I guess it just ballooned up, like I said it felt like a brick. Super tight and rock hard and throbbing, oh my. And so painful. it’s almsot weird beginning to be able to moe my jaw again.
My back has been hurting more too, because I have not been able to keep good posture, the pain in my head and jaw and neck, I couldn’t sit properly. Hopefully that will get better too.
And as long as it keeps improving then i’m happy. Right now i’m feeling pretty comfortable. I don’t think I’m feeling good enough that i would want to go out. But just sitting here, it’s not too bad. After days of constant pain, it’s nice to just be able to sit and not feel pain. As long as I don’t move my head too much, it almost feels normal. Almost. Still taking painkillers too, they wren’t doing much good the last couple of days but maybe now they are helping.
Alright. I know I haven’t been much fun lately, but to be fair I think it’s important to remember that i haven’t been much fun before that either. So there’s a cosmic balance to the misery. Or something.
Thank you everyone for helping me balance the scales.

In case you’re missing goat content, here’s a little Lunaface.
I was just hinking, my teethline is going to start looking more and more like Kamel’s. Maybe I should get my ears folded too. Oldtimers will know what I mean.

Man, it’s so nice to feel not horrible. I’m not in perfect condition, but not feeling that constant pain. What a relief.
I still have quite a bit of swelling, though. It’s only just around 2 days of antibiotics now, so I hope it will still go down. It’s not hurting now if i don’t touch it. But it’s still there. I hope it won’t be like Irene mentioned, that it’s full of pus or something. I would hate having to deal with having that emptioed surgically or whatever. Eek. But hopefully it will go down. It certainly feels a lot better. I can use my mouth a lot more, which is going to do wonders for my dating life.
Sorry about the crude humour, but I’m a crude guy donctha know.
I got another delivery today. Unfortunately I kinda jumped the gun and thought “oh I need so many bananas and so much yoghurt!”. Now that my jaw is working better I regret getting some of the stuff I got. I don’t think I need THAT many bananas and that much drinking yoghurt. Oh well. I also got some white bread and cheese. I have not had white bread and cheese in… it could be years? Part of my health journey was completely cutting out that stuff. I have only been eating rye bread.
But I just had a cheese sandwich. Coold, I mean. Not melted or anything. But it was yummy. White bread, butter, cheese. Mmm. I could get addicted to that again.
And i could eat it. Carefully. i still can’t open my mouth completely as before. But I could eat it okay. So that’s good. I still want to take it carefully. I don’t really dare warm food yet. Not soup. Or hard food. But I can eat food again. So that’s nice.
I still have iced creams in the freezer too.
Right now it feels like I’m in a much better place and that things are getting better. If the swelling would just go down over the weekend, I’d be really happy. Here’s to hoping. At least it’s good to not feel awful.
That pain reminded me of back when my eyes went really bad. The worst pain I have ever experienced is still having the high pressure pain in my eyes. That was the worst thing ever. I can’t describe how horrible that was.
The tooth pain might not be that bad, but the constant pain from the tooth and the swollen brick of infection in the jaw and throat, that was pretty awful too. Constant pain is really hard to deal with, I am sorry for those that have it and can’t get away from it.
Hopefully I’m over the worst now. Although there’s still a big bad future to cope with. Ah maybe it won’t be that bad. Maybe it.. you never know.
It’s amazing what you are capable of dealing with when life forces you to face it.
.. I assume, I’ll be over there hiding under my bed.

Hello Saturday, here we are now.
How it’s toothing?
Prety much same as yesterday. Which isn’t bad, because I’m feeling pretty okay. But I do still have that swelling, and I am not sure if it has gone down a bit. It’s still pretty annoying when i move my head or open my mouth. But at least I’m not really in pain. It’s only 3½ days of antibiotics, so I still hope the swelling will go down. But I’ll have to see. If it hasn’t really gone down by Monday I guess I need to contact.. the dentist or the doctor? I’m not sure. If it’s an abscess then I’m not really sure if that’s a dental or a ..doctal thing. But I guess I’ll find out. Or, hopefully I won’t.
It’s weird not having a bottom molar on one side. I keep noticing the empty space. Running my tongue in there. I guess by now the dry socket thing is no longer a concern, I would be in pain if there was a dry socket. And the clot must be pretty fixed by now? I am not pushing the wound or anything, still want to give it peace and still nto ready to dare hot food. But still kind of running my tongue through the space. It’s weird.
Ah well. I’m just glad to not be in pain and to not be feeling horrible. It has not been a fun time lately.
Takign it easy and treating myelf with iced creams and other goods for the weekend. Right now some banana and koldskål.

a goatlog. Hopefully I will be making new ones of these very soon.
Today I am feeling.. about the same. Pretty okay. Still swelling. It’s hard to tell if the swelling is going down little by little or not at all. It’s only the begining of day 5 of a 10 day antibiotic treatment. I am not sure if it is supposed to have gone down much more or if it’s supposed to slowly go away over days. But I’ll probably ask the doctor tomorrow if i don’t see significant improvement. Again, I’m much better than before the antibiotics began. Lazy Sunday ahead.

The week is winding down.
What an odd week. A lot of my life is routine. For years and years there is barely a difference from day to wek to moth.
This summer sure has been …different.
And this week sure has been a rough one. The first half was some of the worst I have felt in modern times. Pain and swelling and worry and dealing with the realit. And the second half has been pretty peaceful. Once the antibiotics kicked in I felt much better. Now it’s mostly the worry about dealing with the swelling that stands out. It seems to me if it was going to go down on its own it would have shrunk a lot more by now. But hey I still have 5 days of antibiotics to go. Who knows. Maybe it will still be okay.
I would like to get back to some kind of reality soon. Not that I’m particularly enamored with reality. But some kind of comfort would be nice.
And goats and soup. Having the best things in my life substituted by pain and worry, well that ain’t my idea of a good time, honeybuns.
Thanks for all the help this week. I would have been much worse off without you all. Please accept these wooden nickels as a payment for your troubles. I ate all the chocolate ones.
