Granny's gone and done it again

Yup. Temp 100.1, sore, scratchy throat feels like it's full of ... sawdust chunks or some such, very painful to swallow. Self-dx: strep. Uggghhh. :thJust what I need. Colonoscopy scheduled for next Wednesday. Purge to begin Monday. Guess what, ain't happening. Can only manage one physical crisis at a time, thank you, take a number. :barnie
 
A broken shard of tooth worked its way down out of my gum tonight just before dinner. Two shards, actually, sharp like needles, left from one of my extractions. I can feel that there's more working its way down/ out. Anybody else ever experience this?
No, I would think xrays would point those out so they could be removed. This is why I despise most dentists.

They didn't take xrays after the extraction. It never occurred to me that there might be a need! :eek:

Yep, every extraction it seems. Learned to grab a hemostat and a mirror and pull them out myself. If I can't reach them, DH can. Sure saves a lot of trips back to the dentist and sure feels good when you pull them out.

Feel better. Hope the Urgent Care trip is positive. Lot's of salt water gargles and cold liquid. I've had strep twice. Both times ended up with Rheumatic Fever. Strep is my #1 enemy. Lyme Disease my #2..

Hope everyone is feeling better this morning.
