My tooth felt better Wednesday evening, but I still kept waking up every four to five hours in pain because the Vicodin had worn off. Thursday was pretty much the same. I knew the pain was mostly from trauma from the dentist pulling the tooth. It took a while to get it out and my gums and lip felt sort of bruised. Then during the night last night, it started getting worse, worse than before. This morning I woke up and took a Vicodin at 5:30, then I went back to bed. I set my alarm for 8:30, and got up. The pain was excruciating. I called the dentist, which is why I had set my alarm. They got me in at 10:30.

I just got back from the dentist. She pulled the tooth that was infected. Almost all of the infection was gone, according to the X-ray. It took forever to pull it since it was broken off below the gum line, nearly to the bone. It doesn't feel a whole lot better yet, but as soon as I can stop biting down on gauze pads to stop the bleeding, it should feel so much better. I'm so happy. Maybe I can get a full night's sleep tonight. :)
