You made water 'splode?

But then I fixed it! With water.

You're like an intern evil scientist. "Let her work with water, what harm could she do?"

Waterbender!

I totally bought Old Spice body wash today. Well played, marketing department.

Can I get a paranoia check?

As I was whining on Thursday, I had to have a root canal that involved taking off the old cracked crown, cleaning up/redoing the root canal that had already been done, and putting on a temp crown. It was not pleasant, and ended up taking just about 4 hours.

I'm not really in much pain at this point, and my gums don't look red, but that side of my face is now tingling and tight in an odd way that I don't remember from the last root canal. I also feel like I am running a slight fever, and am also just totally run down.

Given that I already have a mammogram scheduled this afternoon in the same building as the urgent care, how unreasonable would it be for me to go to urgent care today, even though I am still mostly convinced/hoping this is normal post op stuff?

If you have any kind of fever, I'd say go into urgent care and get an antibiotic. The mouth is filled with nasty bacteria, so some kind of infection is relatively common. You could also see if your dentist would call in a prescription.

That's kind of what I was thinking, and 5 minutes ago, I definitely felt like I had a fever.

Now? Not so much.

Bodies are weird.

agreeing with Ginger, perkins. it might be nothing, but it might be an infection. ( I have a friend that is having intermittent swelling from a root canal - in her case it is part of the healing process)

nothing much at garage sales this morning, but I did knock out a few errands:

- scanned in 3 sets of documents I need to get to people
- made copies of the contract on my co-op
- got meds
- took things to parents' house that had been left here
- got things from parents' house that had been left there
- picked up repaired shoe for mother

Now mac has his friend over AGAIN (it is almost everyday at this point and kinda making me crazy, but I know it is really good for them both, so I suck it up).

It is close to 100 already, feels hotter and I am trying to decide what to do. Options: - pack up more winter clothes into storage bags
- move things around in garage so storage shelves can be assembled
- do more organizing of my room or front room

You need an actual thermometer, Perkins. Get one of the ear ones. Easy as pie and quick.

If there's no real (new, weird) pain, swelling, or fever, you're probably fine.

So they're available for that long a stretch, Megan? Thanks for looking that up!

No problem.

Note: Four days is the maximum rental.
