    About a year ago I had some trouble with a wisdom tooth - and it started friday evening just as my dentist closed shop for the day. It wasn’t bad enough for me to go to ER, but I was quite miserable during the weekend. I remember at one point deciding to play some Skyrim VR, thinking maybe pretending like I’m a dragon-killing hero would take my mind off the pain. That’s when I learnt that being a Dragonborn with a toothache sucks.

    Anyway, since then I’ve made it a point to think back occasionally and remind myself how great it is when my teeth don’t hurt, and I like to extend it to other people too, telling them to realise and cherish their lack of toothache. It’s your turn now. Be glad. Unless your teeth happen to hurt atm, in which case sucks to be you. Hope it does away soon.

      I have a nasty tootache right now, so… seeing this thread and your post feels like some ironic joke that the universe arranged for me :D

      (Thankfully paracetamol is helping, but most likely they will have to pull it out.)
