Another infection,,,,,,,,,

surprise, surprise.... Started on Friday,,,the old jaw got to aching,,,,by Saturday am,,,I looked like a hamster, storing up food. My jaw was swollen,,,,,and I had an abscessed wisdom tooth. Now this tooth has a silver crown,,,,,and connected to a bridge,,,(where some missing teeth are)......I have had this before,,,,and because of the silver crown,,,,,nothing will show up on the x-ray,,,,so we just treat it with anti-biotics,,,,until the next time,,,,,,and that has probably been 4 to 6 months ago. Need to have it pulled but with platelets so low,,,that could be a scary thing,,,,plus would have to worry about infection. So suffered ALL weekend,,,didn't get to go to church sat or Sun,,,,and missed the church Christmas dinner on Sun..and The Health Care Center open house (but sent my dessert by JSV) on Sat...and The Red Hatter Christmas breakfast ( I had already bought my exchange ornament too)... (Doesn't do me alot of good to even plan anymore),,(tears, tears),, luckily I had some hydrocodone to take,,,,advil was just not getting it. Called early this am when dentist came in and got some anti-biotics,,,some better,,,but this is a bad one,,,,waited too long to call dentist,,,,will just have to wait it out,,,,,,and hope it doesn't bother me with Christmas coming up. I first thought I had caught a cold,,,it affected my eye, sinuses on that side and my nose was running,,,I started rinsing my mouth with warm salt water and I begin to find out what was wrong,,,not a cold but abscessed tooth again.....but at least it is not the flu,,,,could be worse. Infections pop up over nite,,,,,I am sooo fortunate, to be so blessed,,,,ha
