I was so on my way to getting something big accomplished out in my backyard, only to have it shot down by - a tooth! I have an absessed tooth which sidelined me for the entire weekend! I was all set to get the planting bed finished - I picked up 8 more bags of mulch, bought 5 more shrubs to plant, even found a vital piece to my fountain design. Then this tooth sprang up and knocked me off my feet! Okay, so I haven't taken as good care of my teeth as I should have been. I knew I had a filling fall out that should have been taken care of, but since it didn't hurt, I ignored it, but planned to have it pulled before too long. Well, how long is too long??
My face was so swollen with infection over this weekend that I was useless to do anything. I was taking mega doses of acetyminophen, vicodin, aspirin, orajel - you name it! I sipped hot soup and packed on the ice bags, but nothing really helped. So, today I called the dentist and asked his advice - EXTRACTION!! So I am sitting here with a gauze packed mouth, minus one tooth, but still in pain. Hopefully this will pass soon, between the penicillin and pain pills, so I can get back to work outside.
