toothache!
Out of the blue, I have one of the worst toothaches, ever. It hurts to breathe, and hasn't let up in intensity for the past two hours, even after 4 ibuprofen. This is awful. Endorphin high, where are you?
By the way, what's up with those cartoons in which someone with a toothache inevitably appears with a cloth, tied in a bow at the top of the head, apparently holding up the jaw? I have no urge whatsoever to secure my jaw in a similar fashion and I can't conceive of how this would have any affect whatsoever on the pain.
For all you Wittgensteinians out there, you couldn't possibly know this pain. And why did it happen so suddenly? It must have been an unconscious toothache until now. Just kidding. Ouch!

I'm sorry, Jay. It sounds as bad as my red hangover. Yes, it's really red. Don't ask me how I know this, but the world points me to the red. The red is the limit.
I hope you feel better without the proverbial bandage & icepack, tho the ice can help. So can a gentle dentist.
Thanks so much for kind words, Laura.
So there's ice in those bandages!? How could I have overlooked this my entire life? (In all seriousness, the band-over-the-head image has perplexed me ever since I was a child. Perhaps I shouldn't admit to such things in public.)
I don't know if I've ever had a red hangover before, other than the election one. Or maybe that's what you meant. Somehow the toothache makes it difficult to discern these things.
Dentist, tommorrow morning, 8am!
