Ugh

Well, the sinus infection is backing off, BUT the tooth infection that it triggered has not. So now the lower half of one side of my jaw looks like I got slugged. I even know which tooth it is, and it is loose - but not ready to come out.

There actually won't be any long term problem with loosing that tooth. I still have the wisdom tooth on that side, and my jaw is small, and a couple of the teeth are scrunched up. Hopefully they will shift when the offending tooth is gone.

Did I mention that I do not have dental insurance?

Abcess makes the wallet go lighter

My tooth is abcessed - my face looks like someone hit me in the jaw with a baseball bat, minus the bruise. $90 for doctors visit for script for antibiotics and pain meds, and a referral to dentist. $50 for keflex and vicodin. Unknown $$ for pulling the tooth - I get to call the dentist tomorrow. I hope it's under $100.

Needless to say, if this is a consequence of the fur suit thing, it was an expensive job...

Owww.
