Stinky day.

I have not slept more than a handful of hours in three days. The antiobiotics have not seemed to help. I am experiencing the same thing that I experienced three years ago before the Park City Marathon. Same tooth and all. What started as a sinus infection has turned into a dental nightmare. Just got back from the endodontist who said that the tooth has already had two root canals and that the only thing that is left to do is to yank the dang thing out. I'm not happy but am in so much pain that I will do whatever. Headed to the oral surgeon at 3:00 today for my makeover. It's not going to be pretty. Luckily it is in the back.

This is the first day I have missed of PT school due to illness. I really hope I can go tomorrow.

Have no idea whether or not I will be running SGM.

BUT ... my face has hurt so badly that I haven't even noticed my calf!!! :) :) :)

************

Evening:

I still have my miserable tooth. The ortho surgeon was concerned that I was not able to get numb due to the infection and so I need to be sedated. Couldn't do it then because I had juice 2 hours prior to the appointment. He switched my antibiotics, put me on Percocet and scheduled me for Friday. He said that SGM is not an option.

I hope the surgery helps and you feel better very soon. Sorry for all the issues.

Tough week Teena. Hope you get to feeling better again!! Best of luck with surgery.

If you end up not being able to do St. George, it sucks but is not the worst thing. There's always another race :)

Thank you Jeff and Andrea.

How can something so small cause so much pain? It's crazy.

Dang, Teena, I'm sorry you're in so much pain. It sounds veru similar to what happened to me a few years ago before PC. If I were you I would just forget about SGM. You don't need all that extra stress on top of the pain.

REALLY sorry about the pain and missing the race, Teena

Bummer Teena.. At least you found the bright side in there - your calf! Good luck Friday.

From Toby on Tue, Oct 01, 2013 at 09:51:19 from 74.81.235.5

So sorry Teena! Hopefully the rest will be able to help your calf too! Hang on!

What a bucking fummer.

Oh SSF! I am SO SORRY!!! I do remember how painful and swollen your face was with that dang tooth infection. Hope the new antibiotics work and you feel better real quick. Percocet would knock me out! :) Wish I could be there to help make things better for you! Take good care of yourself. I love you! Sending lots of hugs and prayers your way! :)

From Rhett on Wed, Oct 02, 2013 at 12:30:48 from 24.121.0.8

Dang! That bites. I sure hope the pain meds kick in for you so you are not in pain all week. So sorry to hear you won't get to do SGM with Ryan. That would have been so cool. I guess he'll just have to do another marathon so you two can do one together.

From Amiee on Wed, Oct 02, 2013 at 13:08:36 from 155.98.164.38

Oh Teena I am so sorry. That

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks!!!

Saturday morning just pin your bib on Sophia and let her rip! :)

From Teena Marie on Thu, Oct 03, 2013 at 17:47:57 from 65.130.107.50

Thanks everyone!!!

Well, I was supposed to have my tooth pulled tomorrow at 12:45 but I just canceled that appointment!!! I'm not sure what happened but Tuesday evening I took a turn for the good! :) :) :)

I am not pain free but I am certainly on my way. I am so so so SO SO SO glad they were not able to pull my tooth on Monday. It makes me wonder if I even needed the root canal 3 years ago.

From Teena Marie on Thu, Oct 03, 2013 at 17:48:24 from 65.130.107.50

Oh yeah, Fly, I'm liking the way you think!!! :) :) :)

So does that mean you are going to do SGM with your sweetie?
