I got to visit with my dentist around noon. We have a super dentist. He couldn't touch the tooth without me jumping out the chair. After a couple shots of Novocain, he managed to numb it down to winces rather than jumps and he can work with winces.
I have a fractured tooth. I even know when it happened which was a couple of months ago when Caroline's head connected with my mouth in a bone chilling crunch. I though everything was OK since all my teeth were still there. Apparently there was a crack and now the tendon that holds the tooth in place is inflamed and I have an infection in my upper jaw. He got most of the infection out and put a drain in to let the rest seep out. He has me on a number of medicines to kick the infection before he can fix the tooth.
All this may explain why my energy has been in the bottom of the barrel. I knew I was running a low fever off and on for a while now but I put it down to allergies and the like. Last night was really the first decent night sleep I have gotten in a while. So we'll see what happen.
Today is figuring out what needs to be done to restock the larder and a few other household chores to get the house back on a even keel after a convention.
I am grateful for my dentist.

Be well.
Take it as easy as you can.
