Toothache

So about 15 years ago, I went to a dentist whose soul probably still burns when I think of her. I am thinking of her a lot recently. A tooth that was partially broken when a filling she put in came out less than a week after being installed has abscessed. I knew it had. My current dentist and I have been watching the vague dark shadow on the x-rays grow. He referred me to a dental surgeon for it just last Tuesday. Wednesday I set up a pre-treatment appointment with the surgeon. The tooth started to hurt just a bit, so I called and got an antibiotic for it.
Thursday about six through about ten I was ready to pull the thing out myself. It's settled down and now it's just a naggy ache and I'm trying to avoid touching my face there, although it's hard because I have allergies and the ragweed just started blooming.
My birthday is the day after the appointment, so it will be before getting the tooth taken care of. Don't know when that will be.
I am mostly eating soup and expect to lose a couple pounds over this, which will be a good thing.
My details are in the appropriate thread.
