3rd Day = Bad Day

Posted on November 13, 2014

I've had a bad day! I woke up with an abscess in my gum. Went to dentist and there doesn't seem to be any tooth cavety causing this. He put me on antibiotics for the next 5 days. I hope it gets better, I have an awful phobia with dentists. I need to be IV sedated just to have work done. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying. I should have known this was coming, my gum started to feel sensitive since last Saturday. But I thought or was hoping it was because sometimes I over brush.

I've been in bed all day on and off sleeping because of pain killers making me drowsy. All I've had to eat so far all day is 2 bananas only because I have to eat something with antibiotics or it will make me sick. But I'm not really hungry! I was doing so well exercising and eating right. That is all out the window for today anyway. I feel so drepressed now!

Hopefully tomorrow is a better day :(

Thank you all for being so supported and your prayers, it means so much to me! Specially since DH is not as supportive as I would like him to be. He thinks my dentist phobia is nuts and I should just man up (his words not mine). He just doesn't understand, It's not about dentist hurting me at all or the needles. It's the office, the equipment, his little weird binocular magnifying glasses, the noise, the smell, the list goes on and on. The needles do not bother me at all! I don't understand how I can have any gum problem at all, I am actually obsessive with my oral hygiene. I brush 3-4 times a day with sensodyne pro-enamel toothpaste, I rinse and I floss every time I eat. So go figure.....

Amazingly I feel a bit better today. The lump has gone down, or maybe is wishful thinking but either way it's not throbbing as much. I'm going to try to make the best of today and get out of this depressed worried hump.

Thank you all!

I'm so sorry you're going through that! I am absolutely terrified of the dentist! I hope you feel better real soon, but don't let this bring you down. Stay positive! You'll be in my prayers. :)
