Pain, Pain, Go Away!

I got some wonderful drugs today - Hydrocodone and some Amoxicillin - please excuse my spelling. I have felt as though my face is on fire. If only the pain were limited to just the one tooth, but no, the pain radiates to the whole right side of my face and head. I feel like a baby because I should be able to handle this kind of pain. Heck, when I had Molly, I endured hard labor pains for about 12 hours before asking for an epidural (mind you, this was in Iowa. There was one guy in town who could administer an epidural, and they had to call and wake him up to get over to the hospital . . . ), so I feel like I can handle a lot. I think I can empathize somewhat with people who deal with chronic pain. Though my trial is light and temporary, I know that there are those who deal with excruciating pain on a daily basis. I keep saying that I did not realize that a toothache could make a person feel this lousy. But now I know . . . it can. And dentures are looking better all the time!
