Dare I hope?

Less ear ringing today. Small both-sided pain spasm. Massaged my gace, since according to the experts, this isn't happening. Fluctuating left-ear stuffiness. The assistant was supposed to call or text last Thursday, but no word.

Hoping I won't be cast aside for being distressed about jaw being pushed into my ear area and saying something. I just want this dental work over I'm so sick of it. I have to call them. Worried I'll jinx the slightly-better feeling. Still not where it was pre-shove.

1. Right ear just rang

2. I have faith that this will be completely resolved and you will be pain-free. As for speaking up, if you don't speak

up for yourself, who will?

3. I went back 48 hrs later

I was distressed. He's the expert, I get that. But it hurt me. I said I wasnt comfortablewith that much pressure on my jaw. That I wasnt questioning him, butits now causing me problems.


I don't think I did anything that bad. As a patient, can't I express concern?

4. Some of the so-called health professionals don't want to be questioned about anything they do. Many don't seem

to understand that they are not gods. You are the only one who knows how YOU feel and that should be respected and you should be listened to.

5. Do you know when you'll be done?

Or is this the type of thing where it depends on how it goes? Not knowing when it would be over would really bother me.

You are much braver than I am. I have two teeth that need to come out but I’m afraid to go to the dentist.

6. No. Sigh

I was supposed to be texted by his right hand woman to discuss the status of my ear ringing. Today is mild jaw spasm day

7. I'm sorry you're stuck with these people.

They’re not very compassionate and you deserve be heard and helped.
