Thursday I had to make the
walk of shame into the dentist office. I didn’t know if they were going to put
in a new filling or pull the tooth. Once the dentist came in I told him of some
concerns I had and he told me he thinks the top tooth is causing all the
problems I have been having. He said the tooth was really bad and he needed to
pull it. So he pulled the tooth and for the rest of the day and Friday I looked
like this…..
Not a pretty picture. Caiden
thought the tooth fairy had taken my tooth. He wanted to know if I had gotten
some money. I told him NO the tooth fairy only wants kids teeth because they
are still good and grownup teeth are bad J
He then wanted to see the blood. (Just like a true boy all the way….) He didn’t
understand why I couldn’t talk much. He would get mad at me because he would
want me to answer but I couldn’t. He did help take care of me though. I was in
pain Friday and Saturday. I have finally been able to start eating again and so
far I think I am clear of a dry socket. A few years ago I had a tooth pulled
and I got the ill-fated dry socket L.
I have been lucky this time. My face is still a little puffy but for the most
part it is better. I am not 100% yet but I am so much better than I was Friday.
