Back to the real world.....

Well, I'm back from a fabulous vacation....I got home Friday morn at 1 am. Saturday morning I woke up with a toothache. I thought it was on the bottom jaw, but the top tooth hurt, too. By Sunday, I'm calling my dentist, and he called in a pain killer for me. Went into his office at 8:00 am Monday morning and he said I had an infection and I should go to the endodontist. It was the top tooth. Went there and he said I would have to wait 'til the infection cleared to do a root canal. Gave me antibiotics and made two appts for me. He said if it starts to swell, to call him right away. Within 2 hours of leaving there, it started to swell! I go back in and he tries to numb it with 4 or 5 shots of Novocaine and it just wouldn't get numb. He was going to drill a hole in it and try to drain it and put some medication in there. It hurt so much that he couldn't do it. And I was not going to let him even touch it, especially with a drill! So, he gave me another prescription for stronger antibiotics and fortunately, the pain killer is doing it's job. I am still very swollen and just waiting for this to go away. Not fun! So, I'm heading back to the couch and I will waste another day. I am not doing anything because I don't feel like it. I'm just waiting.....
'Til next time, Love ya, Jean
