It's hard to see how swollen it is from this picture, but I sure notice it when I look in the mirror! Left side is really bad.
Soft foods only for a few days.
No black eye or bruising yet, just puffiness.
Here's what I've been up to.

Say hello to my false tooth. One picture is with my falsie ... And the other is my new gaping hole. Ha ha ha. The infection I've had in my mouth for over 30 yrs has been scraped out! And what a scraping it was. Like raking over a boulder. That sort of sound in my head. Not too many needles. The dentist was good. Froze me well. And even touched up the freezing a few times. Lots of pushing and pulling. The tooth came out pretty easily, but it had fractured so he had a few pieces to pick out. Eew It took about an hour. There was the hole from the abscess to scrape out and also quite a bit if scar tissue. Not a lot of blood. Just oozing now. The bone graft was just a matter of packing this creamy jellylike stuff in. Freezing is just coming out. I'm not in too much pain ... Yet. Have taken 3 Advil and rubbed arnica all over my face. It supposedly helps to reduce bruising. They said I'll likely have bruising and a black eye. Bleah. My face is swollen a bit right now. Ha ha. All my sags and wrinkles have vanished. My skin looks GREAT!! So far. Here is the last time you'll see my old dead abscessed forever tooth. I'm in dentist's about to get it pulled. It's the first tooth to the left of my front teeth. Kind of greyish. Hmmmm! What a total drag. Nearly couldn't make it thru nightschool last night! Voice kept giving out. But no choice since too late to call a TOC. Grr. Took todAy off. Did get a TOC and one of my faves, too. Got her for tomorrow as well since voice no better today. Spent all day sleeping and steaming my vocal chords. Still not much better voice, but do feel rested. Gawd. I musta drank 10 cups of hot lemon honey water! I did manage to get to my hair apt tho. Didn't talk much. Look at my funny hair selfie tho. Ha ha. Hairstylist always makes it pouffy. Okay so I meant to start blogging daily at lunch. Fat lot of days that happened.
I'm just at nighschool feeling miserable. Students have just gone home for the eve I refuse to consider or believe that I might have a cold coming on. I only sneezed twice today [usually means I'm getting a cold-argh!] and I feel a bit funny behind my eyes. My nose is a bit stuff and scratchy, too. MUST NOT GET SICK!!! Nightschool is going well. The students are a little higher level than some of my other classes so I can go more quickly and they understand. On the other hand they are so very quiet, that it's like teaching sleeping people. Oh well. They are nice enough and it's a very small class. It is REALLY cold here, in the Lower Mainland, ... for here. Not breaking records, but -2 most days and lower at night. I am cold a lot of the time. I need more wool sweaters ... but have a hard time finding ones I am not allergice to. Also refuse to have any sweater that can't be washed in machine. That means I can have cashmere-cotton blends [warm and I have one I can actually machine wash] and merino wool. Of course both are the most expensive of all and, since I shop almost exclusively at 2nd hand stores, impossible to find. Anyhow, don't think that I'm complaining. Cold sucks, but the sun is also shining almost every day and that makes a huge difference in my S.A.D. symptoms. School/work is out for the holidays in 2 weeks. I need the rest badly, so it can't come soon enough. My workyear is going well, however. Next week Friday [Dec 13th] I go in to the periodontist to have my rotten tooth pulled out and a bone graft put into my jaw. I am glad to have it out, finally. It has been rotting in my head since I was 12-ish. ugh. The bone is just getting thinner and thinner. In fact, when I push on the base of my left nostril ... I feel the push inside my head like my sinuses and adenoids. eeeewwww! It will cost me $1200!! AIGH!! But it has to be done. Well, gotta go catch Clint so we can go home. |
