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.

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?

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.

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.
