Why There Was No Post Yesterday

No post in the middle of the week. Something must be wrong. There was. One gigantic pain in my tooth. Tuesday afternoon I was experiencing some pain in a rear molar. I prayed through it and got through the day. In the evening it was go to bed or cry so I went to bed praying that the pain would go away.I have a high pain tolerance. I can deal with labor pains. I have had kidney and gull stones. There are very few things that get to me in the pain realm. Apparently tooth pain can get to me. I woke up yesterday and the pain was still present so I made an appointment to see the dentist. Thank you God that he had an opening. I went in and discovered that I was in need of a root canal. The specialist was going to be a week and a half out, the dentist checked his schedule and he had an opening for the afternoon. I will take door number one...TODAY, thank you very much. He prescribed tylenol 3 with codeine and an antibiotic. The pain was beginning to worsen and I was more than happy to try the tylenol. An hour later there was no improvement and I opted for letting the kids watch TV as I tried to rest. It was more like a whimper fest. The pain has to be bad if I am whimpering. Finally the afternoon appointment arrived and I found myself in the dentist chair. Give me the shot baby. Numb that sucker! Within a minute the pain was blissfully gone. The dentist attached a rubber dam to my mouth and drilled a hole in my tooth. After making his way through he stated that it was dead inside made known by a horrific smell. It was like the bottom of my trash can, gross! For two hours my mouth was propped open as he cleaned out the canals. The job is nearly over but is not yet done. It will be finished next week. I spent the last night watching TV and relaxing. The kids spent the afternoon with grandma and grandpa, coming home after dinner. Which was nice to be able to just chill without having to cook and chase after kids. As soon as the kids got home I had them get on the jammies and we cuddled up watching Dirty Dancing and American Idol. Switching back and forth between the two. This made it nice when the singing got bad on American Idol, we just switched it back to the dancing. I so cried when the 19 year old called her dad to tell him she had lied and went to New York and that she was "Going to Hollywood." I so cried. DS thought it was funny that I was crying. Oh well.
Today the pain is subsiding. The tissue is still very tender making it difficult to bite down on my left side. If I put no pressure on it, there is no pain. If I attempt to bite, it still hurts. Thankfully the Tylenol IS working today. I told my trainer that I probably would not be in today but I think I am going to surprise her. I feel good enough to work out. YEAH!
Notes of sympathy are welcomed. :)
