I’ve been looking forward to this month’s WordPress meetup all week. Colin made mention of it via the 9 Rules blog, and that got a lot more of the Philly-area bloggers interested, if not for the WordPress meetup itself, but for the Blogger meetup that immediately follows. It’s really something that I was looking forward to, but it wasn’t meant to be for me.
Sometime Friday evening I started having severe tooth pain. I did not enjoy dinner, and when I got home the pain was so significant that I hardly slept.
I spent most of Saturday waiting at home for a phone call from any dentist, often times curled up into a ball in bed. I’ve been stuffling ibuprofen in me like crazy, and still it’s killing me. If you’ve ever tried to get a dentist off the golf course on a beautiful holiday weekend like this one, well, it’s like -um- pulling teeth.
I’m having brief moments of lucidity here and there, and either catching up on sleep or trying to eat. I’ve taken this one to write an apology to anyone who showed up at the Philly WordPress meetup expecting to see me, and was surprised when I wasn’t to be found. I’m really sorry guys, you have no idea how badly I wanted to be there, and if I thought I could even drive in this condition, I would have.
So the dentist finally called back, only 9 hours after I left word for him to call. I might be able to see him tomorrow (on Easter?) if I’m
still alive and in pain. He says he won’t be able to do anything to my teeth, just prescribe something for the pain. Really, anything at this point would be fine by me.
Once again, I’m really sorry about the meetup. I hope things still went well without me.
