I'm 99% sure that my tooth is infected… again. Two years ago I had surgery to remove an infection from it that ate a hole in my upper jaw. That wasn't as horrible as it sounds. I didn't even need to take the Percocet they prescribed me (which then came in handy four months later when I dropped a kidney stone). But this time I'm worried that they're going to make me get an implant. If I remember correctly, the whole procedure can take up to six months -_-
I've taken Tylenol and ibuprofen today and neither has helped. Which sucks because my face is throbbing from wearing my CPAP mask for an hour. This has resulted in me not being able to sleep; hence this late night update.
Luckily I'm going to see the surgeon that worked on me two years ago tomorrow. I don't know what I'm hoping he'll say since I know it's going to ultimately be bad news. I just hope he'll give me something for the pain and then tell me he can fix this problem once and for all. Unlikely that it'll get fixed for good bc I'm not that lucky in the dental department, but a girl can dream.
Going to try to sleep now. Wish me luck.
