Yes, I did have an abscess--which I had pretty much figured out. Nothing else hurts that much. I'd rather give birth again. The root was dead and the tooth was necrotic. I don't know how something that is dead can hurt so much. And the Dentist had just seen me twice within the last 6 weeks about that very tooth. I'm thinking he missed something, but he was so nice and accommodating that I didn't call him out on it. I think I am tired of being in cranky lawyer mode.
Anyway the dentist did a partial root canal and will finish the job in a couple of weeks after we get back from our trip. The root canal wasn't too bad. But the numbness hasn't worn off yet. On the bright side, I got even better pain meds. And two new antibiotics, since the last one didn't do anything for the infection.
So I got to combine two of the most painful experiences of my life. Yea me. Years from now I will be telling all the newbies, "Yeah you think you had it tough, I took the bar with an abscessed tooth."

Ugh! Sooooo glad you're out of pain. There is nothing like tooth pain to bring you to your knees.
