Some may have noticed, some may not have, that I've not been around since last Friday evening when I did get in game a bit to RP ( but didn't last long as I just felt cruddy ). Last week I was dealing with what I thought was another sinus attack, nothing serious, and a bit of a migraine, again, nothing serious or new for me, along with a "pain spike" mid-week that had nothing to do with what was really making me feel so awful. Well, the head pain stuff got worse. Fast. Long story, many visits to doctors, dentist, hospital, x-rays by the dentist and then back to the hospital area for x-rays of my sinuses, and a nice shot of 1000mg of Penicillin to get me going and 500mg every few hours for the next 7 days, and I SHOULD feel better soon. WHEW! I've an appt. with a specialist next Thursday, had to wait until the infection in my whole right side of my face, sinuses and along my jaw, is under control via the antibiotic, to see what will have to be done. At this point I'm told I'll need some surgery but the final call on that will be with the specialist. And if I don't feel good with what he tells me then I've a backup to see. My dentist and my doctor both gave me the same name of someone for a second opinion so that was comforting as my MD, someone I've been with, except for the time we were away from this area, since she went into private practice in early 1994, is one of THE top internists in this area. I was so lucky that she took us back on when we moved back home a year ago. She knows the best of the best around here and has always been able to get me in even if they tell me they can't take anyone new. That's how I found this great dentist (my old one moved waaaay out of town) and also the great GYN MD that did some minor surgery, and calmed both the hubby and me down, last Summer ( my old GYN moved to PA, how dare she! ) I'm very lucky to have this MD in my corner...no doubt about that. Anyway, I'm feeling more energetic today as the antibiotic does its thing so I may even log in later but if I don't, and don't appear for a bit, you now know why.

I'll write about this here so we don't have to get all bogged down with RL health stuff in-game. It LOOKS like an infection near a tooth in the gum but it's very, very close to a sinus cavity so that is involved also. It's not clear yet where it started. The infection is in my right side, sinuses, gums and jaw. Everyone I've seen so far does feel that some sort of surgery will have to be done but exactly what and where is not clear. I see a specialist next Thursday late morning. Meanwhile I'm on a pretty large dose of Penicillin and can take pain meds if needed, but so far buffered aspirin has been enough along with the daily slow release pain med I already take. I can't take stuff like Motrin, Alleve, etc...Non Steriodial Anti Inflammatory Drugs..aka NSAIDS due to allergic reactions like throat closing, equilibrium problems and so on, but they would help more I'm told. I also can take an OTC decongestant and/or anti-histamine if I wish but once I started the Penicillin I stopped using any of that stuff. My face and the glands under my jaw and along my upper neck are still quite swollen although a LOT better today than it was. The antibiotic is bothering my stomach a bit unless I eat with it, so I do. A real annoying thing is that I can't lay on the right side when I sleep, it hurts way too much, and since my spine injury and the chronic pain affects my left side the most I usually sleep on my right side exclusively. So between all of this I'm getting very little decent sleep. Maybe tonight will be better. Again, sorry I was a no-show for last Sunday evening's HQ runs. I completely forgot about it or I would have at least tried to post here or drop an email using my BB if nothing else. Last weekend and early this week are a total blur to me. Thanks for thinking about me! Maybe I'll be in game later. Hate to miss out completely on the double XP. Or over the weekend if not tonight. What plans we did have we've dumped, pretty much, since we had no clue how I'd be doing. Edited by Aylora, Jul 3 2009, 01:39 PM.
