NOTE to squeamish readers: you might want to avoid this one if dental work weirds you out.
So there I was ... two weeks ago with a molar broke in two, and the filling fell out. That turned into a toothache turned an abscess, which engendered a script for an antibiotic. Now, six days later, out the little bugger came.
Which required the assistance of a drill, and removal by the numbers: first piece, second piece, and so on.
The process didn't take a long time, which is a very good thing.
But now I'm on 800 mg of Ibuprofen and Vicodin for the next few days (if it goes that long). I'm fortunate to have a fairly high pain threshold.
sigh ...
The weather continues its strange ups-and-downs. It was warm two weeks ago, with highs in the 40s which melted a great deal of the snow. Then last week it got cold, but still no snow. Yesterday the low was 14°, rising to a blistering high of 15° with a half-inch of snow. Oh, and a heavy fog for the second time in the last few days.
This morning it's 18, and AccuHunch insists that we might get a bit of the white stuff. Time will tell.
So the day will be a quiet one. That's a good thing.

I feel for you, Reverend. I lost a crown when the molar it was on failed a couple months ago. It came out the same way.
Heal soon, stay warm and God bless.
Thank you very much, Linda. I strongly suspect I'll be undergoing rather more dental work in the near future, and of much the same sort. The pills are actually helping, so there's that.
Owie... I hate getting a tooth pulled for JUST that reason! Heal quickly!
Thank you , sir.
Dude, there's no pain like dental pain. My sympathies!
Glad the pills are working, and hope you heal up smoothly.
Thanks, Wing. The pills are working great, and I hope to wean myself off of the Vicodin by tomorrow.
I hope you heal quickly. I think toothache is the worst pain there is and I have had three kids.
Thank you, ma’am.
Goodness Reverend, Prayers Up indeed.
I am always amazed by your weather there. Having moved much farther North now, I am appreciating why previously considered "cold" temperatures are now considered "not all that bad".
Thank you, TB. Gratefully accepted. :)
