Not going!

[gja1000]

I think Judy had dental work done last week, if I remember correctly - but shouldn't it be better by now Judy?????

I don't blame you though, I wouldn't go either!

Steve come get it???? :yelrotflma o:

I brought it over yesterday, and enjoyed seeing the kids.

My mouth still hurts! The swelling is almost gone, but there is a hard little area. If I lived closer, I would call the dentist, and go in to see him. I guess I should call him. It's just so hard to get him on the phone. It feels really inflamed around where he did the work.

As long as it isn't infected, I'm not concerned. I have to go back next week anyway, so I'll see what happens.

Just keep an eye on it Judy...don't let it get infected. Hopefully it will be better in a day or two, but I would have thought it would have been better by now.

Judy, I'm so sorry that you're hurting.

[judy]

Thanks! I called the dentist and he said he wasn't surprised considering what work he had done in my gums. He said it's not an infection, just very inflamed.
As long as it is getting better, it is okay. He said to keep up the advil and he'll call me in a couple of days.

It really is going down as far as the swelling goes, so as long as it's not infected, I'll live!

That's good news that it is not infected. He must have had a backhoe or something in your mouth. You take care of yourself!

He did have the dental equivalent of a backhoe! He gave me some shots, opened the gum, got out some broken screws from implants, put some other screws in, and I think that was it.
