Yesterday that toothache was so bad (and had been for almost a week) that we set the appointment for this morning. On my way to the dentist today I noticed that my back teeth could touch (first time this has happened in about a week). When the dentist came in to see me, I told her the good news. She let me know that since that is a little sign of progress, she didn't want to go ahead with surgery because she thinks I may be able to heal on my own. She also pointed out that I had a crazy/busy weekend and then finally took a little down time on Monday so it was not a coincidence that the day I see the most progress followed the day that I relaxed and let my mouth heal the most. Interesting concept (see post...SLOW DOWN) haha :)
Today was a bit of laundry, getting fingerprints at the police station (are you as curious as I hope you are...details at a later date), grocery shopping, decorating, and mostly not talking and letting my mouth do a little more healing. Still on a soft diet (yuck) and taking pain meds, prescription strength mouthwash, and amoxicillin.
(Can you see why I took so long to blog? Not exactly my most exciting day ever)
