Last October was the month for sickness in my family. It was a month I wish we could have just skipped over. (Last October, I got an infection in my tooth and then a staph infection in my finger.)
This October is not starting off much better. I once again have an infection in my tooth. Not the same tooth, on the other side of my mouth. I knew my tooth had been super sensitive for a month or so. Saturday afternoon I was crippled with tooth pain that would not go away. I was in so much pain that I was nauseated. I have been taking Advil left and right and they have not done much to help.
I saw a dentist today that did an x-ray and found that I have a cavity SOOOOO BIG that it has gone into my nerve. YIKES! I knew I was not crazy. He sent me home with pain killers and an antibiotic. I am having my third root canal on Thursday. Whatever it takes to get me feeling better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so thankful for kind friends who have helped me with the girls today. The Lord provided just the right people at just the right time!
I decided this afternoon, as a man backed into my car on the Walmart parking lot, that every October I am just going to go on a month long vacation. Another option I have is to get all my teeth pulled and start wearing dentures.
Anyway, the good Lord knows what He is doing, it is through my trials that I grow closer to Him and He shows me how important good friends are. I am thankful for a wonderfully kind husband! To say I have been fussy would be an understatement. When I hurt, I get snappy!

Hope you feel better soon! It's not fun to have an abscessed tooth!
Hoping you feel better soon and that October surprises you with lots of gloriously happy days. :)

I'm just recovering myself from a mystery staph infection in my left arm- no cut or apparent point of entry. My wrist just swelled up one night while my hubby was at Bible study. The first Dr. I saw presumed it was a fracture and x-rayed me. Two days later I had blood poisoning going up my arm! I got onto antibiotics just soon enough to avoid a trip to hospital, but I was out of action for about 2 weeks while hubby took over everything at home. I have the use of my arm back now, but I'm still on antibiotics for a week or so. It's scary how these things can just happen.
Bless you
