In Case I am MIA Soon

lama-3582739_960_720

Hi everyone! I wanted to write a short post just to say that I might be MIA this weekend (and maybe longer, who knows?) because I am having wisdom teeth surgery tomorrow. The teeth are impacted and oddly placed, so unfortunately, it isn’t expected to be a simple tooth-pulling operation (which definitely shows in how much I have to pay for it lol). Thank goodness they put you out for it!

I’m sure I will be fine, but as those of you with chronic illness/pain know, nothing is ever easy when you have autoimmune issues and inflammatory conditions that crop up every time your body is put under any kind of stress. I am hoping it won’t lead to a major flareup of my fibromyalgia or CFS, but I am preparing for the worst just in case.

I hope you guys will keep me in your thoughts and prayers (if you do that kind of thing). I could definitely use some positive energy sent my way!

Hi! I am an artist, author, and blogger who also happens to have Asperger’s Syndrome. I have won several awards and honors for my writings and artwork. I suffer from a few severe mental illness and chronic pain conditions (Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Fibromyalgia, CFS/ME, Ehlers Danlos, Degenerative Disc Disease, etc.), which greatly affects my life and makes me want to advocate for others going through similar things. Other interests of mine include reading, writing, drawing, watching cartoons and movies, collecting toys, hanging out with my family, and annoying my 3 cats.

  3. Hehe. The timing makes me smile.
    I am prone to tooth decay. My teeth no matter how well I take care of them.. the enamel just wears thin.. and I dont produce enough saliva so “dry mouth” makes me teeth rot… I just finished working on my teeth 3 days ago (catching up and finished all the desperately neglected fillings and cavities and root canals)! And yesterday just finished paying the dollars. Hehe.

      1. Did you ever dream about your teeth? Or something unseen, living inside your mouth? I know it’s a weird question. But when I was a kid I used to have nightmares about my teeth. I’ve always been able to lucid dream, except when my dream would be about my teeth. Those always felt real and terrifying…
        I’d dream my teeth were falling out, not necessarily all at once, but my teeth or a tooth… they’d come out. And… I god I want to cry. I dont know why it’s scary. Maybe its vanity.
        But now as an adult, it is uncanny.
        I started to study the metaphysical implication of diabetes and I was like “wtf?!” Because it was so… true? And the timing of which the knowledge/understanding fell together beautifully? I’m just like *mind blown, sound effects* lol

      2. I’ve had many bad dreams about my teeth falling out. It is horrible. I think I read somewhere that they are normally anxiety dreams. One nightmare I really remember from my childhood though is of a bunch of nuns sewing my mouth shut lol. That was pretty awful.
