Bad pain and dr. appt trouble!

[Guest guest]

Well Ladies and Gents, after a nearly impossible night of pain, I woke to the apple of my left cheek to be swollen about half the size of a walnut shell, and will throbbing pain through my cheek and jaw. I called my doctor,they said call my dentist sounds like dental. My dentist thinks it might be sinus but referred me to a oral surgeon because 2 teeth need to be extracted anyway. I called the surgeon thinking "ahhh, soon I will have some relief", then the secretary says "can you come in August 12th?" Well, I really might now need an eye doctor appointment as well, to return my eyes back into their sockets!!! lol Anyway, I said, my face is swollen, I am having throbbing pain and can't sleep or function and she said that my doctor will have to put me on an antibiotic. Well, I have been on an antibiotic for 1 week, and this hasn't helped! She said, well they will have to find one that works, but she will put me on a waiting list. It doesn't sound like they get many cancellations, so now I wait. I have to call my doctor back to see about another antibiotic. This makes me nervous because in 1990, I was hospitalized with C-Diff, an infection created from intermixing antibiotics. I was on medication for 6 months after this and was quite sick. So please PLEASE pray for me!!!

My neighbor lent me some Aleve, so hopefully that will help. Ladies, I feel absolutely miserable! Please pray for healing, comfort, pain relief, a sooner doctor's appt, and the right antibiotic.

I hope it's just sinus related and will get better soon. If it's dental, well, then my procrastination is to blame. If you have teeth that give you a little trouble, don't wait!! Get it checked!! I want to spare you this!

Much Love,
