Mefenamic acid is my new best friend

My 38 is impacted. That's what the poliklinik dentist calls my stupid wisdom (oxymoron!) tooth. 

It freakin hurts, but my cold-hearted parents wouldn't even dream of cooking porridge for me. No, I eat whatver they eat. If I want porridge, I can cook it myself. My mother even attempted to stop my grandmother for cooking porridge for me ok. 

Anyway, in the spirit of extreme scrooge-ness, I opted to go to the poliklinik dentist instead of the private one. RM1 for registration, and my surgery + X-ray will cost RM55. So cheap. The downside is the poliklinik is not equipped to handle surgery, so they referred me to the specialist at SGH. 

My little surgery is scheduled on the 23rd of next month. 

In the meantime, I'm downing 12 antibiotic tablets (Amoxycillin +Metronidazole combo) a day. Plus MA (see title) for pain. I love MA, it actually works better than Synflex. Takes like 96% of the pain away. The lady manning the pharmacy counter drilled it into me 3 times that I absolutely HAVE to finish my antibiotics. HAVE TO. Cannot not finish. Turf lah, lady... I take my medicines religiously ok, some more I can tell you that Amoxycillin sucks. It does nothing for my cough.
