I’ve been MIA for a few days. I’ve been working over the last 12 months to get a lot of dental work done that didn’t get done while I was in graduate school and didn’t have insurance. Everything came to a head back in the fall when I ended up with a huge, serious infection in my left upper jaw. I took round after round of antibiotics, but because the infection was so deep, it has come back twice, including last week. The pain is agonizing, I couldn’t swallow easily because of the swelling and I was high off of pain meds. The worst part about the pain meds is that they didn’t work, but Advil took the edge off. A waste of my lunch money. LOL
I’m feeling like a brand new person this morning, which is good. I just ate a whole meal without major pain and the swelling is just about gone. I hope this is the last time I have to go through this. The medicated mouthwash is nasty and I hate being on antibiotics. They make my stomach hurt, which is almost as bad as the mouth pain.
I’m going to catch up on my posts for 30 days, so I can go on and finish this project.
