Thanks everyone! I appreciate the love and well wishes and suggestions.

Lara- I DO have an ice pack for my teeth. I have used that most times and it really helps.

Sorry I couldn't get on sooner. Yesterday I graduated to eating ground chicken patties, so I'm almost back to well. I'm also tapering off the pain pills. Longest I went was a bit over 12 hours last night. Problem though-I'm losing track of when I took what. Ooops!
I think I'm pretty close to accurate though. Gotta take my antibiotics and some regular meds and vitamins here in another 15 minutes or so (after lunch...er my second lunch).

The worst of the period pain hasn't come yet. At this point, I'm not sure if I want to still be on my pain pills for the tooth for that or back to my regular pain pills. Thanks again for the well wishes. They really do help!

Hopefully I'll be back to "normal" here shortly.
