I am feeling sorry for myself. Mouth was a little sore yesterday, last night throbbing like mad in bed. When I got up this morning it wasn't TOO bad, but by lunchtime face swollen.
I called the Dentist, was told mine is away all week as his Dad is very poorly, but they got me in with a very nice Lady Dentist, so I have some antibiotics now. I can't wait for them to kick in, one side of my face is very swollen, and hurts like hell. I can't smile, my lips are all lopsided like I had a stroke.
The crux of it is my teeth at the top are not good, well it is the gums really so some of the teeth are a bit unstable, I have a bridge too and a crown over the years. Dentist has been warning me that I will probably have to have them out and end up with a full denture on the top. I can see now that after this heals up I will have to get brave and have this done.
I usually am the sort to just get on with things, but I feel really quite down about this. Feel like I am like an old car with bits dropping off the bodywork!, and as my car went to the scrapyard in January that isn't a great feeling.
Am going to get a couple of ibuprofen and a couple of paracetemol now and try to ignore the pain and get some sleep.
