Glad that Tommy Boy is " okay " in a manner of speaking. Is there

anything that you can keep him on all the time on a low-dose that

might help prevent these spells?

I'm sorry some of the packing came out! I had one tooth go bad years

and years ago (not a dry socket but exposed nerves after a cleaning).

Anyway, I suffered until that Monday until I nearly blacked out while

driving because the pain was so bad, made it to my mom's house and

laid there with a cold pack until the dentist opened up. I ended up

having 9 shots to deaden the area and an emergency root canal. So

please please make sure you take care of yourself and go back on

Monday!!!!!

> Well now that I finally have a minute I will update you on Tommy

Boy. He has a herpes type virus. A reoccurance of the same virus he

had when he was younger. Probably got it when he was a feral cat. I

adopted him at age 1. It can keep coming back as there is not a cure

for it. They gave him fluids, an aspirin, antibiotic shot and an

immune booster shot. Just have to watch him and if he gets worse they

will prescribe antibiotics. Otherwise he wil be fine. He had a fevr

of 105, which is quite high and was a bit dehydrated. They ran blood

work, all good there. Checked him for worms, and that was negative.

Oh and the big guy weighs 12.5 LBS, lol. Should have saw him in the

purse carrier. He was so cute and a good boy on the ride. Kept eating

the treats they had, lol. This is a relief off my mind.

> Had to go shopping first thing this morning and put all that

away. Now I am exhausted, but still have 's dr appt at 3pm to

do. Gonna rest up a bit now.

> Some of my socket packing came out too, darn it. Not all, so I

think it will be ok till monday. Not as much pain there, just my jaw.
