Clove Oil Reaction

This has been a crazy week. I've been to see Doc every day because of my reactions to the Clove Oil; apparently I'm allergic to it; but it's the only thing that works on dry sockets so they are having to pack it daily. They've been putting this silly putty stuff over it to keep my tongue off the oil; but it doesn't seem to stay on very good. Every time I eat, drink, or even move my tongue, pieces break off. My husband said, "Maybe you are talking too much." That went over real good!

Kayla is still doing her therapy three times a week, in the midst of this she is taking tests and doing school work.

Not too much else right now, hurting pretty bad.

Oh The Pain!

Let me tell you, I have been in the most excruciating pain since last night. I noticed last night my tongue was swelling (like it does when I take Loratab or Amoxicillin). A few hours later my jaw was hurting and my gums were burning, shortly to follow was a deep, deep pain in my left ear. I don't remember how I fell asleep, but I know I had ice packs, Benadryl and tears! This morning the pain was worse. Doc's office is closed on Wednesday's, but I had emailed him last night when things started going "weird." I called him this morning and he had a nurse see me. Apparently some food had gotten under the packing they used for the dry sockets; that on top of having some sort of allergic reaction and I was done for! Feeling much better now; but have to keep taking Benadryl as clove oil is the only thing that works on dry sockets.

I am fortunate that one of the volunteers had already asked to prepare the meet for tonight's dinner, another wanted to help fix the dessert. Chris drove me to Sam's and helped me get the other items needed for dinner and he is delivering them right now.

My Benadryl is making me tired, gonna hit the sack and put ice on my face:)

My sister should be checked in at the hospital. Pray for her. Her name is Michelle. They plan to induce her labor tomorrow morning.

Dry Sockets

I saw Doc this morning; I have two dry sockets..in the words of my three year old, "owie, owie, owie!" He packed both, put something to cover the top of them that resembles silly puddy to keep the bone from being exposed. There is also a little bitty bone fragment sticking out of my gums that will hopefully work its way out or new skin grow over. I feel much better today than I did just a few hours ago this morning!

My sister is still pregnant. She checks in to the hospital Wednesday, will begin a pitocin drip on Thursday early.
