AND THE PAIN GOES ON

I had so many plans for today that have been put aside because of the pain.  My mouth is so sore and swollen.  I won't even show you a picture of me because it's ugly.

This morning I did want to get to the farm, though.  I called up Debbie and we headed out.  I didn't get much, but got a good deal.

Corn on the cob, beautiful tomatoes, red potatoes and lucious peaches.  Oh I want my mouth to be OK so I can eat these beauties.

I took a couple of pictures of the lilies they have growing along the sidewalk.  I've never seen lilies like these before.  They are such an unusual color.

The only other place I went was to Rite Aid.  We have three thermometers here, but can I find any of them?  Noooo.  So I bought another thermometer and a pint of ice cream.

The rest of my day was spent watching TV, reading blogs, playing games on facebook and sleeping.  A lot of sleeping.  And taking aspirin and the antibiotic of course.  It is some better than yesterday so I guess something is happening.  But the pain when it strikes is unbearable.

The ice cream actually made my mouth feel better.  I guess it is the cold numbing my jaw.  But after I ate some, I had no pain at all for about a half an hour or maybe a little bit more.  That was so good.

Now I wish I had made the appointment to see the dentist on Monday.  But I thought that by waiting till Thursday I would give the antibiotic a chance to work.  Maybe that will still be the case.  And I won't lose that much time from work.  I am almost out of sick time and it's only half way through the year.

So that's the news for today.  I don't think I will be getting to church tomorrow morning, but we'll see.
