Finally! My tooth has calmed down to a mere ache. The antibiotic (which I got for free from Wegmans!) must be strong because it makes my stomach hurt and I have to run to the bathroom constantly. I am taking full strength yogurt with it - none of this skimmed or fat free stuff.
It's really hard to focus when you are battling pain. The meds sap all my energy until just breathing is sometimes demanding. I keep moving though. Because I can. What with all the recent testing, I may reach a point where I am back in treatment and won't be able to put one foot in front of the other. So I press through while I am free to do so.
It gives me a whole renewed appreciation for people with things like Fibromyalgia and other sorts of constant pain. Life can be hard when you find no relief. I renewed my efforts to reach out to my neighbor who is struggling with that. I think she might come to church with me on Easter.
I just hope when I do see the dentist that the whole thing doesn't get all stirred up again. I hope I don't lose the tooth, but I have to get it taken care of before any treatments begin. That's for sure. How does that song go? Smile when your tooth is aching . . .
