Out Of Sorts

[robby]

I've been feeling lousy in an undefined way since about Thursday. I thought I had maybe tonsilitis, but now I've got swelling and pain under a molar. I've been taking vicoden and resting up, but tomorrow morning it's to the dentist, and hopefully back to feeling normal.

What did it end up being?

It appears to be a fracture in the #31 molar, and a nasty infection. The depth of the fracture is unknown, but if it's deep, the tooth will have to come out. I've been on antibiotics for almost 24 hours, and my appetite is better, but from what I gather, it takes more like 2 days for amoxillin to kick in. I go back next Tuesday for more treatment, and today, I'm just staying quiet at home. I haven't taken any vicodin since Monday night, but I'm tempted to take one now.
