Jun. 7th, 2006 08:32 amTo reiterate point #5 from yesterday. While sitting in my *living room* last night- I got two mosquito bites on my ankle.
In other news... spent much of last evening in a dentist's office. Hubby had a pain last week or so, and I bugged him to go to the dentist. Did he? Of course not! Last night when I got home he was doing this thing where he was holding a little bit of water in his mouth- covering the sore area. Apparently that was the only way to keep it from hurting. As soon as he emptied mouth of water the pain would start again.
Being considerate and sweet- I badgered him into calling his insurance in an attempt to get some emergency treatment. He did call his dentist yesterday- but no one answered, or returned his call (he did leave a message). Eventually we were able to get him to a dentist- that luckily has late hours on Tuesday. His insurance gave him an emergency release number so that even though we paid out of pocket they will reimburse us.
Problem- an exposed nerve. Treatment calls for a root canal. Since it was so late last night he was given penicillin for infection and Tylenol-3s for pain. Luckily we got to the pharmacy a few minutes before they closed - so they did fill the prescriptions. It was still a bit of a long night as the pain pills didn't really help at first. He slept in his chair overnight (recliner thingie) and this morning said it didn't really hurt. Though I think he snuck in an extra Tylenol-3 as he said he felt a bit dopey. That and something about putting oragel on a cotton ball and stuffing it against the sore tooth.
Due to the tooth pain of last night, and the fact that it wasn't likely to end this morning (so we thought last night), DH had to e-mail his professors and let them know he wasn't going to be in class this morning. Did I mention that his class started yesterday? Poor guy. 'Course, if he'd gone to the dentist *last* week like I suggested...
Anyway, this has all led to a sleepy cat. Caffeine seems to be insufficient for my needs. The only plus to this situation is that I now have a line on a good dentist whose office is just down the road from where I work. She has late Tuesday hours and some Saturday hours! Is very cool.
