Ugh. Dumb teeth and other things….

[Michelle&Lolli]

 I have two permanent bridges.  For the past couple of years, all the anchor teeth seem to be getting infected.  4 have been infected now including this one.  Only two left.  Sigh.   It’s normal for the anchor teeth to get infected because of the stress on them.  But still.   

I went to the dentist yesterday to get cavities filled.  Mentioned this tooth was bothering me off and on.  They took an xray.  And of course the dumb tooth is infected.     Can I bang my head on the wall?  lol   The infections in the bone so I’m on an antibiotic.   And my tooth hurts so bad.  I’ve been taking advil and tylenol.  I also haven’t been feeling good today.  I think that’s from the pain though.  

And Lolli had poopy butt this morning.  I have no idea why.  Nothing’s changed.  I gave her a bit of kiwi the other night but her poop seemed to be the cecals all smushed and stuck to her.  But she felt lighter when I picked her up so maybe she’s finally losing some weight.  

And back to me.  lol  Apparently there’s another herniated disk in my neck.  But I was only given the results over the phone so I don’t know how bad it is.   But I have been having more tingling and numbness in my arms and hands.   And my physical therapist said all the numbness/tingling could be caused by the herniated disk.   So we’ll see.

For stupid insurance, they are not approving my long term disability.  I can’t see my surgeon till March 31st, but I will be talking to him about everything.  I guess I have to prove that I have some form of neuropathy and nothing of my medical stuff prove that.   So I’m very frustrated about that and am about ready to hire a lawyer.  

I think my dad may let Lolli be inside.  She would be in my old room in the basement and will have to be in her pen all the time, but I might be able to bunny proof well and let her out after a while.  He hasn’t said yes, but he was willing to consider my plan.  This is good considering for the longest time he’s been completely adamant that she be in the garage or sunroom.  Neither place will work for several reasons.  My dad plans on parking his Harley back in the garage again.  That alone would probably give her a heart attack when he first starts it.  The sunroom is attached to the garage so it’s not heated or air conditioned.  There is ceiling fans, but it still gets hot in there.  I explained all this to my dad.  Then there’s the fact that she’s used to being with me.  

So blaaaahhhhhhh.   Just updates on everything and me whining about my stupid teeth.  lol

You poor thing. If it’s not one thing, it’s another. What are you having done with your teeth? Maybe someday (when things are looking up for you) you can look into implants.

I’m sorry you’re not feeling well and that you’re having more back/neck problems. I hope you can get everything figured out with your doctor and that the antibiotics kick in soon so your tooth stops hurting. Great news that your Dad is willing to consider letting Lolli stay in the house. That’s an improvement. I’ll be praying that everything works out for you and that you feel better. =)

Healing vibes and hugs Michelle. Hope you feel better soon.

What’s a bit funny is that this morning my back wasn’t hurting. Haha I’ve been taking tylenol and advil every 4-6 hours and apparently it’s helping with the pain in my back too. Just sort of funny. If this pain doesn’t go away by Monday, I’m going to be calling my dentist. I have a high tolerance for pain but not when it comes to my mouth apparently. lol

It’s just really weird that I’m having this pain. I’ve had 3 other root canals and it’s never been this bad. I also have a bump on my jaw. I think it might be the infection, but I’m not sure. I didn’t notice any bumps until last night. So I’ve been taking the advil for pain and to see if it’ll help any with swelling in case the bump is not from the infection. Maybe the infection is just really bad. Who knows. I’m about ready to break out the Percoset I have left from my surgery. I probably won’t though as I’m allergic and it’ll make me itchy. lol

Thank you everyone. I’m trying to look at the bright side of all this. I just want my teeth to quit hurting.

The bump on your jaw could very well be a tract coming down from the infected tooth. If it’s still there monday, give your DDS a call.
