Last Friday, I had dental work done.
A small bit of damage was done to my gums by a dental wedge.
Today, it is infected, & hurts like dilly-o.
I am now on penicillin & codeine tablets.
I can’t drive. Or follow the plot in the book I’m reading (Huckleberry Finn). Codeine being bad for clear thought.
Nuts.
Oh, sorry to hear it. Codeine is nice though. I had an ear infection for about a month before they finally gave me codeine and after that I didn’t care much at all!
I hope it gets better soon!
Turns out a small chip of tooth, from the drilling, was wedged behind my gum.
I’m healing fast, now.
Ouch 
Glad they got the chip out.
They didn’t.
I did.
Floss tape works better than plain string floss, BTW.
Good to hear you got it solved.
