Memories: 8 March 2026
8 March 2026 8:53 am I just woke up from dreams of people reaching out to me in support. They were texting me and each one had also a map attached to their text to show me where they lived. One was at Wynnum West. I did not know their phone numbers or who they are, just their location.

6 March 2026 6:59 am … 9:14 am humid morning. I am waiting for the bus to go to Herston Dental Hospital to have the 3D scans. Hopefully the xray clinic is functional when I get there. It’s a practise run for next Thursday so I will know how much time is required to get there. I allowed myself an hour and a half but since I need to wait 13 minutes for the first bus and who knows how long for the second bus then it may take 2 hours or more.

4 March 2026 8:36 am baddd night. Trauma activated after seeing the lovely dentist yesterday. She tested four teeth, surrounding the badly rooted canalled one which is dead by jangling all the nerves with some dry ice instrument. Three teeth threw me through the ceiling in a pain response. Each nerve blew my nervous system up. “Well, we know those three teeth are ALIVE!” she says gleefully.

3 March 2026 9:30 am I slept lightly, staying just under consciousness for hours and hours, quietly observing my breathing with the cpap mask. Hyper vigilant and hyper-aware. Feeling unsafe and vulnerable because this afternoon I will endure a root canal surgery.

32 March 2026 3:25 pm the pain is intense. The dry socket “medication” got rejected by my jaw last night at 11 pm. So this morning I went to absolute war and wrote a scathing email to the Herston Dental Hospital. I received a very bizarre phone call from a “receptionist” offering me a follow up appointment. I stated I do not feel safe to access their facilities again. She assured me I would be “treated by a qualified dentist”.

30 March 2026 At 6:12 pm I received a call from a friend who recently had knee surgery, then only 6 weeks later a colonoscopy. Today she received a call from her surgeon that did the knee surgery that her knee is not thriving so he wants to “cut off her leg “. Her knee has improved from 60 per cent to 95 percent but they say unless she gets to 96 per cent they will cut her leg off.

29 March 2026 10:27 am I awaken from very detailed complex drama about a neighbour of my former friend gifting me clothes and a huge white denim Calvin Klein bag. Another former woman friend whom I have had zero contact with for 11 years was involved in sorting and gifting me the clothes.

28 March 2026 7:26 am awake. In pain. But not too severe. (Or rather, I am getting used to it). I was up only twice during the night to pee so my bladder is calming down to its usual “normal”. I slept well too. Without cpap still, as my face is still swollen and sore. I feel calmer too.

27 March 2026 1:49 am I woke up with a sharp pain in my dry socket. Then needed to pee. I was so exhausted I went to bed at 8:30 pm. 5 hours solid sleep which is great after the past few nights of bladder fury and toothy hell and sleeplessness. I have taken two Panadol just now but if this is the level pain I am experiencing already then I was right to be furious that the Herston dentist refused me a script for something stronger. I will have to go to a hospital tomorrow if it’s worse.

26 March 2026 7:12 am I woke up after two hours sleep. I needed to pee yet again. Last pee was at 5 am. Prior to that 4:14 am and hourly all night long. My kidneys are working hard at flushing out the medications, infection etc. Breath foul and metallic but pain somewhat less. I took two more Panadols at 5 am. This was the longest sleep I had last night.
