Urgh, I'm at urgent care

[mrs.jacinthe]

Woke up yesterday morning with the entire right side of my face swollen. I look like I'm trying to shoplift a bag of cotton balls with my face. So I'm hoping to score some antibiotics until I can get to the dentist on Tuesday.



No point to this post, except to amuse you with my pain. And because I'm bored. I'll take whatever hair pets you offer, too.

[mrs.jacinthe]

Kind of. Not too bad, though.

[finally]

Oh no!!!  Are you storing away nuts for winter??? I hope some antibiotics help and it's nothing too serious! Feel better!!!

[moonlight]

Oh yuck! Feel better!

[dr.girlfriend]

Oh you poor thing! That does not sound like fun. Hope it clears up quickly.

[mrs.jacinthe]

Back home now. Moral of the story: aggressive flossing is a bad idea. Apparently I cut my gum while flossing and wound up getting an infection from the wound. Derp.

Awww, chipmunk! I hope you get some meds. Definitely not a fun way to spend a holiday weekend. Feel better!

[mrs.jacinthe]

Also, lol that the doctor said I should stop smuggling walnuts.

For serious!? I always get yelled at by my dentist for aggressive brushing. I'm a flossing nazi too. That's craziness.

Oh no! Hope you're feeling better and too funny about the walnuts.

[bunnymendelbaum]

Oh no! Hope you are feeling better.

[boiler717]

Oh no!! Get well soon!

[policegirl402]

Hope your feeling better today!

Flossing scares me, I always bleed so much. I do it, but not every day (and yes, I have tried doing it every day to toughen up my gums. Doesn't work).

Hope you look like yourself today.

Hope your feeling better today

[raangoli]

Omg that's terrible! I hope you're feeling better. And lol at your doctor.

[moonlight]

Omg. I was tossing and turning last night and had what felt like a weird toothache. I wasn't sure if I was grinding my teeth or slept wrong or something...I woke up and the whole left side of my face is sore, inside my mouth. Feels like it's my upper gums. It doesn't look as swollen as you were in your pic but that is how it feels! Immediately thought of this thread...

[magdala]

Glad you know the cause and hope it is going well at the dentist!

[mrs.jacinthe]

No dentist visit unless the swelling doesn't go away within 5 days. Today is day 3, and the swelling is down but not gone yet. However, I'm substantially more comfortable than I was on Sunday, so that's a plus. LOL

Hope you feel better soon! {{hair pats}}

Glad you have a reason.  I hope you heal fast.
