just to let you know... if i seem a bit "out of sorts" or "not myself"...
it's because i am still having problems

the dentist's xray developing machine was broken but will be fixed today
he made a bigger incision for it to drain, recommended more antibiotics & more pain pills... for a hefty price
will go back tomorrow to go over the xrays but will probably be referred on to the BIGger city (you were right Michael)
because we don't have any oral surgeons in the area (within a hr. away)
so it's wearing me down & has me on edge but i'm hanging in there :]
