[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE INFECTIOUS INFECTION VIBES![/move]
Here's the story, and I'm stickin' to it!
It is an abscess. I am on a strong antibiotic. I am rinsing with warm salt water. I am holding a warm compress against my cheek. The swelling continues, but should go down this evening.
I won't see the dentist again until the weekend, once the antibiotics have begun their work.
He may extract one tooth, maybe two. The teeth in question did have root canals done on them in the 1970s. . . . .
My spirits are up - everytime I pass a mirror, I have to laugh. It looks as if I'm storing up nuts for the winter.
