Pain!

It's 2:30 in the morning and I'm up because I am in so much pain I can't sleep. It started Friday night as we left dinner with Mark's family. Just an achy feeling in a specific tooth. When I woke up yesterday it was much worse. I wasn't able to chew and my face hurt. I was able to get in with a dentist who is open all day on Saturday and I have a huge infection in the root and nerve area of a particular tooth, which needs a root canal. They started the process today, gutting the tooth and getting the meds in it to kill the infection. I have antibiotics and narcotic pain relievers, but I have already taken too many of the pain killers, so I can't take anymore until 7AM. I hate tooth pain, since it seems to affect the whole face. It hurts so badly. I'm just counting the hours until I can take some more meds, and hopefully the antibiotics will start to kick in and kill the infection...

I'm sorry, too. I honestly don't think there is anything worse than a toothache like that - it just makes you feel yuck. I hope the meds help the pain and you feel better soon!

Ow, I'm sure that's gotta hurt. Yea for the dentist that was open over the weekend, so you could get it taken care of right away.
