OH MY GOD is my mouth hurting!!!! I was eating popcorn and it felt like one of the skins on the kernel slipped in between my crown and my other tooth. I couldn't get it out. I tried brushing, flossing, toothpick - nothing worked. I figured it would eventually come out. Well, four days later I'm in AGONY. I think it's infected. I am SO HUNGRY but the thought of eating anything makes me want to puke. Thank GOD my dentist got me in this week - but it's not until tomorrow afternoon. I am not going to go running tonight - I don't even want to IMAGINE what it would feel like to have all that pounding on my feet. Dental pain is the WORST!!!!
Honestly - I'm thinking of having ice cream for dinner. No chewing necessary. I am never eating popcorn again. BLAH. When did I get so old that popcorn can injure me? Seriously? Popcorn? Jeez. My 10k training is getting off to a suck ass start. Oh well - I'm not throwing in the towel. I'm going to do my 2.5 mile run tomorrow. I'll keep my 2 mile run on Thursday so I can take the two rest days before my long run. I think that may be what kept me from finishing my 3 miles on Sunday - I only had one rest day. I'm going to shoot for the full 3.5 miles that is SUPPOSED to be this Sunday. I'm pretty sure I can do it - I've run 3.44 miles - what is another 10th of a mile? Then I can just keep going with the program as expected. I want to run a 10k SO BAD!!!
Oh- I got my window sticker for the car that says 5k!! YAY!! As soon as the rain lets up, I'm puttin' that sucker on!!!
Thanks for reading! Have a great night! -Monica
Hi, I just thought I'd write to you to say Hi and I love your blog and you're doing so well!! I've just spent the best part of a fortnight (and more time at work than I strictly should have done!) reading all your past blog posts.
ReplyDeleteI hope your tooth feels better soon and keep up all your good work - I know you can do this
Thanks!! You totally just made my day!! Thankfully I have a dentist appointment today so I should be back to running tonight!!
Deleteseriously - you totally made my day! I didn't think anyone read it anymore! :-)
My husband doesn't care for popcorn, especially kettlecorn. We went to a street fair a few months ago and I got a bag of kettlecorn, he had one small handful of it and 3 days later was in major tooth pain. He went to the dentist and found out he had a kernel stuck in his gums that got infected. :-)
ReplyDeleteI eat popcorn all the time, and my dentist told me to rinse with warm salt water after eating it, it helps clear out the kernels. :-)
WOW! I thought I was some kind of freak! I've NEVER gotten a kernel stuck before!!! I really love popcorn - but it's not worth it to EVER risk this again! Thank GOD we have dental insurance!!!
DeleteOuch! That does not sound fun! I once scratched the back of my throat with a tortilla chip, I couldn't eat for days it hurt so bad. I hope the dentist can fix you up quickly!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! Sorry - I didn't see your post until just now!
