I feel like I can’t see sh*t

I had a crown on the tooth, it cracked and needed to be replaced. Never had an issue with sensitivity. After getting the new crown put on, I now have sensitivity eating anything hot or cold. The new crown has been on for almost a week now, and hasn’t gotten any less sensitive.

Is this normal? Does sensitivity go away eventually?

I had the difficult decision to put my best friend down about 3 months ago now and I still ache today with the feeling that I failed him. He put his trust in me to make the right decision and I just don’t know if I gave up, or if it was truly the right decision.

He was 14 years old, he had diabetes, unable to get up on his own anymore, unable to squat to poop anymore, blind, and during his last few weeks, urine incontinence. I had a urine test done and nothing came back. I’m guessing just from old age. The vet probably would’ve done an ultrasound or catscan but I already knew it was going to get expensive. And even if they found something, electing to do a surgery at his age was already probably risky.

But I live on this feeling of probably and if’s now. What if this. What if that. And I can’t shake the thought that I made the right choice. It was nearly a full time job taking care of him don’t get me wrong. I was putting myself and significant other through a lot to give him the best life we could. I don’t know if he was in pain, he never whimpered. He was just always happy and hung out on his bed. And being blind it was his safe space.

I just can’t tell if I let go because it was getting hard on me, and my significant other and I felt bad for her. I try to justify all the reason listed above saying I made the right choice, but at the end of the day I have zero concrete evidence saying I did. So I’ve been fighting the fight in my head, trying to tell myself it was.

And unfortunately even though I’m with someone, she just doesn’t understand. And so I can’t talk to her and I really don’t have anyone else to talk to about it. And therapy is just too expensive. So here I am on Reddit. Because at least I guess I can get it out there and maybe some of you have had this similar feeling and went through what I’m going through.
