The Last Thing You Want

A toothache late on a Friday afternoon can be a killer. My last toothache was not only on a late Friday afternoon, but was when my dentist was on vacation. It was one of those that caused immense pain for the whole side of the head.

Fortunately, I had a small collection of "happy pills" left over from a previous surgery that took some of the edge off until Monday morning finally decided to show up. Needless to say it wasn't one of my better weekends. I think it was more painful than a tablesaw cut into a thumb bone, or routing a chunk of meat off a finger. I'll rank a severe toothache pain up near the top of the list.

Is there an agreement with that or is there worse?

I've no personal experience with this but I am told that being in labor is worse than almost everything. I've also no experience with it but kidney stones are pretty bad too.

Personal experiences are more vivid.

Unlike most guys, I have experienced labor pain... LOML had a hold on my upper lip while she was going through it...

Cabman, of course they are, but I'm pretty sure I won't ever go through labor. Now I did get kneed in the you-know-where once. That was pretty vivid and the worst pain I've ever felt. It didn't last all weekend but the area was sore for a few days. That is the only time I can remember the pain actually making me fall down.

Reminds me of how Bill Cosby related his wife's description of labor. Grab your lower lip and stretch it over your head.

When I was a small boy, I fell rear end first into a large pot of boiling water (still have scars). I was not expected to live. But I don't remember the severity of the pain. More recently, I fell off a ladder, and landed on a brick flower bed. The result was three broken ribs. That was the worst pain I actually remember, and it was worse than any toothache I've had.

I thought he said you hold your lower lip and pull on your upper lip over your head.

Why is it that you never seem to get anything seriously wrong until late on Friday afternoon..after the Doc's office is closed and the only option is the emergency room?
