Nothing exciting to report. They took x-rays and did and exam and discovered that the infection had destroyed too much of the root, so I have to go to the oral surgeon next Wednesday and have the tooth removed. Bleah. I have to take antibiotics in the meantime. And plenty of Aleve. They offered me a prescription for pain killers, but since pretty much everything like that upsets my stomach, and the last thing I want in a heatwave is to spend hours in the hot upstairs bathroom being sick, I declined. Aleve will have to do. I just have to find foods to eat with it because I can't take it on an empty stomach. I think I see a lot of cottage cheese in my near future. With peaches! Or with apple sauce. Maybe I'll switch back and forth between those. (My life, it is so full of tough decisions.)
Then there's going to be a string of follow-up appointments for a fake tooth, repairs on another tooth that's missing its filling, and the general dental upkeep that I've been avoiding. I really don't like this list of must dos.
