I have some kind of infection in my mouth. I went to the doctor on Monday and without any explanation he said I have a gum infection take these anitibiotics for a week and if you don't get better call your dentist. I don't think he understood my problem, although I did explain. My gums on the right side in the back of my mouth are swollen and hurt, my glands in my neck are swollen and hurt and I am not a wimp to pain but I can't stand this constant sharp shooting pain in my mouth everytime I talk, eat, drink, move, etc.
I started on the antibiotics Monday afternoon and since they are four times a day for only a week I figured I should see some change. Nothing has changed exept more pain and now my gums in front are swollen.
I am not the sickly kind of person and I think I have mentioned before that I don't sympathize well with sick people, so maybe this is God trying to give my sympathy/empathy. I DON'T LIKE IT!!!
I am emotionally drained because of this, hurting constantly does something to a person. If Ean or Jim even look at my wrong I start crying. I even started bawling on the way home from getting the boys for no real reason other than my mouth was hurting.
The doctor suggested I take IB Profen for the pain, so yesterday I took 2 Advil every four hours just keep tolerate the pain. I wnet to the store last night and got throat spray, some Motrin (also IB profen) and Extra strength Tylenol, the throat spray did nothing really for my throat and only helped a little on my gums. I tried Listerine and that helps more than any of it, but only last like an hour.
I want so bad to go to bed and not wake back up until I am better and this crap in my mouth is gone. Unfortunately, I am planning an event for Tuesday that several hundred people will attend, trying to get some loans closed so we can pay some bills, and have to try to help with the kids so no hiding under the covers for me.
I hate to bitch about myself but this is all I care to write about right now, hopefully I will be better later this week. I am going to see the dentist today I hope he can shed some light on what the problem is.
Here are a couple pictures from the recent past.
See my beard, ain't it weird?
Not what the sit and spin people had in mind when making that toy-I am sure.

pleeze call me after you see the Dentist...something isn't right.
I CANNOT STAND to see you in pain like that...I would rather crawl on my hands and knees through broken glass than to have one of my children suffer.
I know every Mom is like that...but your going through this pain day after day is wrong.
You're Doctor is a moron. I hate him. Fire him.
Something else is going on with this Lindsay...tell Jim to help PUSH THE ISSUE until they wake up and pay attention.
Now I'm mad.
I hope you feel perfect in no time. And the beard is great. He looks like grandpa.
I hope you feel better soon!!!!!
Your boys are so cute and I'm sorry about all of the pain. Now that you have the right medicine I hope the pain goes away and you can get all of the loans and event planning done.
