My tooth
I spent the best part of the last 10 days in increasing agony because of what I thought was an infected tooth. The tooth continued to get worse and worse despite the antibiotics I was taking. My dentist tried on two occasions to numb the tooth and had no luck. On Thursday I was in very rough shape, I was having problems sleeping and by the time I saw the endodontist I was shaking, vomiting and in so much pain I thought I could easily (and kind of happily) die! The only thing that helped was swishing cold water on the right side of my mouth.
Turns out my regular dentist and I thought it was THE WRONG TOOTH. This Endodontist was amazing. Numbed me up once we figured out that it was a rear molar (#2) and then did a fantastic root canal (which I fell asleep during 3 times).
My tooth is fixed.
I am in no pain.
I have my life back and my kids have their Mom back. Yay!
TeamRachel aka mrskatvon is both a website to gain public awareness of Juvenile Batten Disease (which affects my oldest daughter) as well as a journal to remember the events in our lives.
Rachel was diagnosed with Batten Disease in July 2009 and while we knew something was "not right" we had no idea that such a nightmarish disease existed. There are dozens of nasty, orphan disease which affect people both very young and old.
Aside from dealing with the changes of Batten Disease in my daughter, Rachel, I have tasked myself with making life memorable for all of my children to make sure that (at least) 3 of them grow up to be as well adjusted and happy as possible.
Kat that’s great!
