Anything Else?

Yesterday morning I woke with some tooth pain. This gave me no pause as often when my progesterone drops my teeth hurt. So I in my mind thought that my progesterone was dropping, and maybe by some miracle I would start bleeding before my shot. By the end of my doctors appointment I noticed that my mouth was quite uncomfortable. To the point where I needed to take an anelgesic. In my purse I carry Excedrin. A nice mix of buffered asprin and acetaminophen. That ussually takes care of the begining stages of a migraine, so why not a simple toothache? By the time I picked Jacob up at work I was beyond Excedrin, and hoping we had some Aleeve at home. By 7:30, I was in bed with an ice pack attatched to the side of my face. This wasn't going to end well...

At 10 I woke up and took some more Aleeve only to find that it offered zero comfort, and noted that if I even thought about biting down on that tooth that intense pain increased. At 12 Jacob came to bed and without being asked began to rub the affected area of my cheek that was causing such discomfort. At 12:15 he gladly went downstairs and replaced my now warm ice gel for a completely frozen one. At 2 a.m. I got up and started searching the medicine cabinet for any remnent of sugery gone by. Luckily for me I still had some goodies from my carpal tunnel. A half hour later I must have passed out because the next thing I remember was being awoken by the sound of the alarm.

Now I wait for the dentists office to open and HOPE that tonight is their late night because I am out of PTO...but if I have to take off tomorrow that is how it will have to be. I wonder what my next "trick" will be? For after all these things come in 3's...

In other news, the Methotrexate worked. I am bleeding. I thought once it started that I would revert back to the sadness that had overcome me a week ago. Instead I am rather unemotional about it. Maybe because right now the analgesics I have taken are curbing the cramping pain. Or perhaps its because it is like the begining of a period and not "scary" as I thought it was going to be. Or perhaps its true what they say...one pain crossed out another.

Maybe...
