scared

Nov 14, 2006 23:58

this morning i went to the dentist and they took a couple x-rays and discovered one of the nerves in one of my teeth is damaged and the cause of it could be something as simple as getting elbowed in the mouth when i was 10 years old. and that has caused me to have a serious infection and half my face is really swollen. i've been put on antibiotics that i have to take 4 times a day, and i also have painkillers to take. and because my antibiotics will kill the bacteria in my body, both good and bad, i also have other pills to take that will help my stomach not be so messed up as all its good bacteria is killed off.

my dentist said i'm in a serious condition right now and if the swelling doesn't go down soon i will have to go to the hospital, because it will no longer jsut be a dental problem, but a medical problem. i'm scared because all day my face has just been getting more and more swollen and a minute ago i looked in the mirror and the area under my left eye is getting more swollen. and i've had a fever all day. booooo.

and on top of all that, next monday i have to get the first step of a root canal done. i just want all of this to be over with. but i guess we'll see how it goes...
