Good evening, BOTT friends,

Tired tonight after my fishing trip last night.  Probably overkill since I've been suffering from the mother of all toothaches since Tuesday night.  Started when I was fishing that night.  Trip to dentist on Wed revealed 2 infected teeth with an urgent need of extraction or root canal following the antibiotics.  I opted for the root canal, since I am not game to losing more teeth (lost 2 already), and hate the thought of a bridge or any dentures.

But that didn't stop my fishing trip last night with meds on board.  Took pain meds and my 2am dose of antibiotics with me (pain meds were greatly needed, and I was glad I brought them along).  Well, tonight I am sorta whipped, with a low grade fever, so the bike workout has been set aside for the day.  Hope to feel better on tomorrow since it will be day 4 of meds.

Today I ate (when not feeling the pain):

B:  1 egg and 1/3 c eggbeaters, lean meat from 3 slices real bacon on sandwich thin

L:  grilled skinless chicken leg, 1c Brussels sprouts with 2 tsps whipped butter sub

D:  grilled skinless chicken leg and wing, apple slices

S:  protein shake made with coffee, 1/3 c 1% milk and 2 tbsps half & half  (used straw and afterward, the whole rt. side of my face and head, including eye and ear, felt like someone was trying to drill themselves outta there!  The pain is horrendous, so pain meds are on board and I am signing off)

Goodnight friends :(

I sure hope you are feeling better today.  I understand about not wanting to lose a tooth.  I have lost three all nicely placed on opposite sides in the back.  Can't afford to lose no more.

Thanks, Tigs and Tess.  Pain is really bad today.  Had to call the dentist for possible change in antibiotics, but he chose to stay the course.  Can't take NSAIDS secondary to our surgeries, of course, and already on narcs for my back (script ran out over the weekend), so he couldn't order more.  But got script refilled today and should be feeling better soon.  Hate using my narcs for my toothache though.
