I've had the night from hell. I've been trying to get an appointment to be seen by an emergency dentist since 1.30am last night. First it took them about 6 hours for a dental nurse to give me a call back. Then I missed the call because I had desperately called nhs 111 again to beg them for help, and of course THAT'S the moment they call. I finally managed to get to speak to someone and have now been told that I need to wait for another call to discuss the next stage of my dental care.
All the time, I haven't slept and I'm in extreme pain that isn't responding to pain killers in the slightest. I wish the pain would just make me pass out for some relief but then I'd miss this call back whenever it happens.
I asked how long a wait it might be but the person I spoke to could only say that they are very busy, and that someone would call as soon as they could. That's what I got told about 9 hours ago.
I'm in so much *mumble mumble* pain. I can't stand it. I'm going out of my mind here. I know they'll probably pull the tooth as they're not doing many, if any, procedures that generate aerosols right now on the nhs but I'm so desperate that I'll probably agree to it if the pain stops. Just so absolutely and utterly miserable.
