Yeap so with you on this. It’s up there with holes in stuff for me - it has a proper name but can’t recall it now and shan’t Google it in fear of it also bringing up said weird images.
yes — trypophobia. <shudder>

My youngest had an EXTRA tooth growing in the roof of his mouth behind his front tooth. He had to have it taken out under general 😱 and they also found another one, lying horizontal to the roof of his mouth. Both just extra teeth 😂
Now I have an image of adult teeth punching through from their hiding place.... Grim! I need to go to sleep, clearly.

Sorry to go on with my woes again, but I am fretting. Partner and I have been chatting lots on text and phone since he's been in hospital. Haven't heard from him in hours, despite sending a few messages. I haven't wanted to call him because if he's sleeping that's the best thing for him to do. Last message I got was him telling me he was feeling rough and sick again. He read one message an hour ago, but I have not had any response. Very unlike him to go silent, especially in situation like this. Tell me he is just feeling awful, not up to texting, but sleeping, and that's all and I am not to start panicking like a complete idiot. I think I have been on my own managing this a bit too long and my head had got into a bad, bad place tonight. This is daft of me isn't it? I'm his emergency contact, if something terrible had happened I would know wouldn't I? He's just sleeping isn't he? He looked better when I saw him earlier, I need to stop being an idiot. Oh god, I am so sorry to be dramatic on the internet. I am going to feel daft as soon as I hear from him, but I cannot keep this in my own head right now.

Oh Flumps, youre not being daft at all! Can you ring his ward for an update? They would contact you if there were any changes x

Your last sentence is why I haven't rung. Because they don't need to be dealing with me panicking because I haven't heard from the poor sick man who is just trying to rest. Like you say, I would hear if something really worrying happened. Fucks sake, modern technology is both a blessing and a curse isn't it? Years ago, wouldn't have been able to worry at all because wouldn't be able to have this constant contact.

Theres no harm in checking in, if it will ease your mind, lovely. If youre not able to distract yourself. I called often for my parents when they were in. Its definitely a blessing/curse! I hope you hear from him soon and you can breathe a bit easier ❤

@Flumps, I’m sure he’s just exhausted and sleeping, or thinks it’s too late to contact you. You’d definitely be informed if something was up, but I’m sure you could call the ward for a v quick update to put your mind at rest x

@Flumps I bet he's lethargic due to probably being on meds and drips? Very likely to be sleeping I would guess. If he's the kind of person that doesn't like to be a 'burden' he may be trying to spare you too many details, but I completely understand why you would want reassurance. Try to get some rest if at all possible. I would also guess though if you called now you might have a better chance of being answered as you are not calling at a peak time Xx

Just tried a couple of times. No answer. Went to answering service.

Have to remember they would call me if something serious had happened. I can't sit here working myself into a panic. Must try to calm down. I had to come home tonight because have a house viewing tomorrow and I left the place in a mess, so am an hour away. I feel like getting in the car and going back to his so I am closer, but that would be stupid as house still isn't tidy and if everything is ok tomorrow/when I wake up, then that's just silly. But I feel like I want to be close, in case.

ETA: Rang again, tried a different route in, and managed to speak to someone. Nearly accidentally got him woken up, but she managed to stop Vivian (there was shouting) in time. He is fine, just sleeping, so now I am feeling unreasonable and worried that he must be feeling very crappy this evening to not have been able to text. But he is fine, still there, and I am going to stop being a dick and go to bed. Thank you guys. Sorry, must seem weird that I am using a corner of the internet to get through this, but I am billy-no-mates and I'm not going to bother my mum at this time of night.

@Flumps having worked on hospital wards it maybe that he's been reviewed by a doctor, medication rounds, up for the loo etc in the time you've messaged him and then he could've fallen asleep. Of course totally understand your worries and if I was you I'd call the ward just to know he was settled and okay and you can then get some restful sleep tonight. Relatives call all the time and sometimes they pass on some helpful info. Thinking of you and hope things are better tomorrow x

Yes this is why I can't understand why Dentists wake up one day as a teen and think, I want to spend all day everyday working on teeth 😬😂. Sorry any Dentists reading this!
And proctologists. I mean, I'm glad they exist, glad someone wants to specialise like that, but.......🥴

Not weird at all and no need to apologise. We’d all rather you talk about it rather than sat in complete silence/tying yourself in knots. I think anyone in your position would be worried by radio silence given the circumstances and not unreasonable. Remember he is in the right place and now with a plan in place - doesn’t take away from the worry granted. Hopefully now you’ve spoken with the ward you’ll be able to sleep a bit better - I’m sure they’re used to people ringing especially given the Covid restrictions. ❤

I think he just misses the pure clean air of the mountains, causing a twice daily need to evacuate the toxins from his ENT regions...

😂😂😂

@kachoochoo I think teeth are the coolest?! I kept both my wisdom teeth and they were underwhelmingly small tbh was v disappointed. The grossest thing is the nervous system the fact it’s just all wet and floppy 🤮 And sometimes when I look at my daughter I’m like it’s mad you used to open your eyes inside me so you’ve peeped that uterus 🤮

Pre covid there was that bodyworks thing in Piccadilly Circus, dunno if it was that scary but amazing German bloke who did it but did anyone go??

❤❤❤❤ so glad he’s okay, also glad you’re likely in bed now. Not weird at all, even weirder was last night during night feeds I thought of you and if you’d be online! Sleeping on a ward is tough, he’ll probably be woken up for new medicine or fresh fluids in the middle of the night and you’ll get a text. xx

Flumps, glad you put your mind at rest. Hope you got some sleep.

Mr F grew three sets of teeth as a child (mutant!) and had to have a lot removed. It left him with permanent gum problems, which was okay when he was in the forces and getting free treatment from their dentists, but is somewhat expensive to keep under control in the outside world.

I went to Body Worlds, and I went to the animal version too. It is Gunther von Hagens that does them, probably not for the faint hearted but I love that sort of stuff.

I'm also a teeth freak and had to have some removed under general anaesthetic when I was getting my adult teeth because I had extras hiding in there.

@Flumps hope you're feeling better this morning, your mind just starts to fill in the blanks when it doesn't know (and always goes worse case like it wants to stress you out more!!) so your worry is understandable.
