Two weeks ago today, a toothache started. More of an annoyance than real pain, so I took Advil and kept going. The next morning (Sunday), I woke up and the right side of my face was really swollen. I was worried.
Fast forward to one week ago today. After two trips to the emergency room, two different antibiotics, and two different pain medications, I went to an oral surgeon. The tooth couldn’t be saved, so out it came.
I’ve given birth four times, and this extraction was worse than all four births/labors combined! (I had a [mostly unfounded] fear of dentists before then; now I absolutely have a reason to be afraid!)
One week later, I am finally feeling almost better. (Of course, it doesn’t help that I also acquired a cold during this time.) I hate being sick–especially for two weeks straight! Now that I’m feeling a little more like myself, I’ve got to try to be careful not to over-do it and end up back-sliding. (More frustration!)
Thank goodness for Tim! He is always there for me, but he’s been such a rock for me these past two weeks of hell! He completely took over running the house so that ‘all’ I had to concentrate on was getting well and school. I so wuv him! 
Tuesday is my last day of school and then summer break! I have my algebra final exam and an English test, but I’m not sweating those at all. I’ll also find out what grade I got on my sociology exam (think I did pretty well). Still can’t believe it’s almost over!
Off to do a little more cleaning! Hope your Saturday is a beautiful one!
