Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

yeah, was going to get one pulled a couple times, they just stare and say it looks really b ig ie they cant imagine how they are going to get it out.. then ,000s then repeat plus cant afford crowns so they break, so 90 percent of tooth becomes filling etc think can afford to lose a couple lol well literally haha @utopia @Former-Member servo run done, warmed me up, have tv guide now cos got sat paper lol

Re: Night Shift

I went to public dental sa years ago, was easier to get in if you agree to let students do it and or take cancelled appointments at short notice @utopia @Former-Member

Re: Night Shift

I take emergency anti anxiety meds for dentist now. I used to be brave, not any more, since having a tooth pulled. @utopia. I understand totally. I started having bad panic attacks at dentist after giving birth. Had an emergency ceserean while AWAKE. Was not in the plan. SUPER BIG PANIC ATTACK. 😂
It wasn't painful, but I could feel them pulling her out. Oh my gosh!

Re: Night Shift

The plan before the emegency ceserean was to have another baby. Ended up with PTSD again. Took ages to get over it, then I was a bit too old to have another one. 😢
Have to wait to be a Nanna. Long wait. 😂

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member @TAB. I've had an old filling drilled out - a partial 'tske the nerve out treatment' (cant use proper word) canal done and then they put a 'temporary' filling on the top to hold it - till my place on the waiting list comes up. 3 weeks later the tooth starts breaking off. I ring them - no they won't see me because I'm not in pain - because they took out the nerves & I'll just have to deal with the sharp edges. It would have been quicker and cheaper for them to just pull it out like I suggested - but no. My opinion didn't matter. There policy is to save the tooth at all costs. Should start a new post on dental treatment and lack of understanding for MI patients.

Re: Night Shift

She was distressed and unwell . In intensive care for days. Now she's healthy, and going well. An A student, if I may say "I'm very proud of her ". @TAB She's gorgeous inside out out. Wish I could put a photo up. 😊
