One of those FTD bears might work. I suspect he would be considered a 12" bear, though. We have a 15" Build-A-Bear and it's much bigger than Bear-Bear. He looks a lot like the old-fashioned Whinnie-the-Pooh but with a shorter snout.
is it possible that I could still have an absess in my tooth after a root canal? My jaw is still sore as hell, still can't eat normally on that side after one week, and now my tonsils are swollen and sore.
It's entirely possible. An abcess is a pocket of infection that forms (usually) at the end of a root of the tooth in question. Root canals simply remove the nerve from the inside of the tooth so as to stop the tooth from hurting. Abcesses can be extremely resistant to antibiotics a lot of the time. If it's close enough to the gum (ie.: not encased within the bone), sometimes it can be lanced and drained. Otherwise, you may just need stronger antibiotics.
Another possibility is that your doc may have missed a little bit of the nerve tissue at the end of your tooth. If you like, you can call my Dad's office for a consult. Your doc should be able to give you the X-ray films to take for him to look at. If you're nervous, I would have no problem going with you or meeting you there.
