Tooth is much better!! Uclerated painful, nasty looking hole is no more. There's just a slight hole now and no pain. I think the antibiotics and mouthwash have done the trick.

I wish I could say the same for the rest of me! Not been doing too good this last week or so. I reckon that Christmas and the tooth infection have taken more out of me ( Read more... )

grandma, wisdom teeth, me, health

*hugs* Thanks :0)

"I know what you mean, and because your at a level that you can wander around the house resting, with out ending up in bed, people see you as almost better.

Glad your wisdom teeth are feeling better :0). I think the whole knock on effect of viruses and infections is something I still havent really got to grips with...I keep expecting to bounce back from them even though I know now that I wont.

it's hard on me because it makes me feel guilty for not feeling better then I do, or having to say no to doing things. It's really hard to have to say no to the people you love anyway, and then its even worse when you're feeling exhausted and in pain.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. It's taken me a long while to be able to say no to people and even then I still feel guilty, especially if it's an important occasion or event.

A lot of the time I'm too tired to argue so I'll either end up getting frustrated and crying, or doing more then I know I should.This is the same for me too. I've learnt that when going to benefits meetings and things like that it's ( ... )
