Stop The World..

The last few days haven't been all together pleasant for me, I won't lie, lol. My jaw pain intensified to a brand new level of awfulness, and I broke down and called the dentist's office the night before last. The receptionist said she would talk Dr. Aaron and call me back. It was seven hours later, and almost closing time before I got frustrated and called back. Apparently, the dentist had been out sick all day, and they were leaving him messages about my pain, but he didn't return their calls. She apologized and said it would be tomorrow before they could help me. She said they suspected that I might have gotten an infection or something inside my newly filled teeth, and they'd talk to the dentist and see what he recommended. I was pretty unhappy about it, and miserable from hurting so long already.. but I just focused on holding it together for another day.

It was well after two before they called me today. Dr. Aaron said he didn't need to see me, and he didn't prescribe an antibiotic. They called in a pain medicine at my urgent request, and said if I still hurt in seven days to call them back. My darvoset only lasts for the next three and a half days though, so you can bet that I'll be calling before then if I still hurt when the meds run dry.

I honestly don't know what's happened. My face is still swollen though, and I swear it looks more swollen than it did days ago. The gums feel a little bit better, but I still can't chew on that side without pain. Hot and cold hurt me like mad, and I can barely open my mouth without my jaw sending sparks of shooting pain throughout my entire face. I'm still worried about it. I'm just hoping it feels better soon. I've only taken two of my pain pills. The first one seemed just fine. It made the pain ease, and that was that. This second one though.. seems to have made me quite sick to my stomach and insanely dizzy.. and I'll likely continue to take them just because that's how bad the pain side of the coin is. Ugh.

I think looking at the computer screen is actually making me feel even worse, so I'm going to have to cut this update shorter than I had planned. I'm so sorry.

The rest of my night has just been spent in the kitchen icing cookies. Pretty pink hearts tonight. Dave kept me company and we told silly stories and kept each other laughing the last several hours. Stars tomorrow, if I can see straight, lol. I'm skipping my shower tonight too. I'm afraid I'd fall down even if I tried to stand up. Thank You for joining us again this evening, and until next time.. Much love, Many Hugs, and Good Night to You All.
