Sitrep – 12 September 2010

Folks, I haven’t forgotten about y’all nor have I left the blogosphere   No, I’ve just been dealing with dental stuff like never before.

The tooth and swelling was getting worse.  Much worse.  I worked through last weekend, but left about an hour and a half early on Tuesday.  I didn’t return to work until Friday.  I saw the dentist on Wednesday.  Thursday was fun with the oral surgeon and general anesthesia.  I can’t tell you enough just how much I appreciate having a second family in town – Cindy’s sister, Missy, took me down and brought me back so I didn’t have to drive to the oral surgeon and all

I’m also continually surprised at just how good my benefits at work are.  The oral surgery would’ve been about $1,500 but with my insurance it was a $20 co-pay.

I’m still on clindamycin, but I’ve only taken a couple of ibuprofen today and the swelling is much better.  I have a follow-up appointment with the oral surgeon on Monday and with the dentist on Tuesday.

While I’m doing much better, I’m still dead tired.  I have a feeling it has something to do with the antibiotics and infection, but I’m still doing what must be done

Here’s hoping y’all have a GREAT Sunday
