How Did I Creap Up There Again?

Just so it's said, "I'm sick of being sick". After seeing my doctor on Saturday for this NEW sinus infection, I've been given more meds. He wouldn't even come near me but said that I needed to be on antibiotics for a full 2 weeks this time. He gave my Augmenten, and I hate how it makes me feel sick in a different way.

On Monday I had my appointment with the Endodontist. The plan was to drill through my crown on my front tooth and re-treat the old Root Canal I had done in 1997. The injections weren't as bad as I thought they were going to be. He started drilling and drilling. I could tell that things weren't going as they should have. With this rubber dam in my mouth I murmured "Did you find something?". He stopped and explained that there was something in there, but whatever it was wouldn't x-ray, like a composite material. His little guy helper took another x-ray and they came back and said that whatever it was, they left the end filled with something else, and there was the start of an infection. How was this never found with all of the x-rays I've had done? I will need to come back next Monday for him to do and Apicoectomy. He was very apologetic and felt very bad, I just shook my head and said, nothing goes smoothly with me, half laughing. We went over my medications and health history. We were discussing my TN and he has to look up one of the medications I took in the past. I guess if I were to wait, I may not be able to have the tooth saved. The Gamma Knife procedure adds radiation to your bones and therefore it makes them more brittle. Thankfully I won't look like a hillbilly...yet! He wanted to give me a antibiotic rinse and another antibiotic pill plus Motrin 600mg. They really want to load me up on the Antibiotics. I asked the pharmacist and he said the one I was already taking was strong enough. Plus I couldn't handle another one on my stomach.

We leave next week to go back to Colorado. It's finally here! It still feels like a dream. I want to make sure that I'm getting everything taken care of that I need to before. So when a doctor asks if I have already tried something I can said that I have.

When I say my doctor for my cold I asked him about the lab results. He said I was ok, because one was for nerve blocking and the other was for epilepsy. Now if  I can just get rid if this sickness I would be good.
