Very rough day!

Today was a very rough day. It started last night when my tooth became abscessed (I dont know how to spell that!). I am sure that this was happening over time, I have had lots of problems with this ONE particular tooth. I was laying down taking a nap and when I woke up, the entire right side of my face was in excrutiating pain. I tried a few things and ended up taking tylenol. I was in so much pain I thought I would throw up. Finally it reached the point of calling my mother to see if I could get a hydrocodone from my grandfather, or going to the ER. Since I didn't think the ER would be able to do much for me and I couldn't bare the idea of being there for hours without being seen, I chose to call my mom. The deal was that she would meet JR at the Target in Galveston as it was kind of the half way point.....What I didn't count on was that it was Memorial Day and everyone was trying to leave the island. BTW it was 8:55 pm when I called her. JR FINALLY got home at 10:45. I thought I was dying. She gave me 3 pills I tool one immediately and another at about 4:15 in the morning, because I woke up in aweful pain.......OH I GUESS I SHOULD ALSO SAY THAT I CALLED MY OB/GYN BEFORE TAKING THIS AND IT WAS OKAYED. I got up around 7:30 this morning and decided to take tylenol. I called the dentist at 8...no answer...8:30 no answer....9 no answer...I left three messages and one on the emergency line....I got nothing. At 10:20 I loaded up Logan and we headed for the dentist. I dropped Logan off with my mom and ended up sitting at the dentist office until 3:45. They finally called my name, the nurse opened my chart and says, "Oh, your pregnant. There isn't anything we can do with out a medical waiver from your OB." WLKJHFLKSLKJHFLKF SDLIHF LJF. I went completely ape shit. First of all, when I got there, the first words out of my mouth were, "I am 18 weeks pregnant, is that going to be a problem?" No, maam! I was told. "Is there anything you need from me?" Just your insurance and ID. "You dont need anything from my doctor?" No, maam! The I waited and waited and waited....then a nurse called my name...I went in and filled out my Medical History...on the form I wrote that I was 18 weeks pregnant and I specifically asked if there would be a problem with me being seen due to the fact that I was 18 weeks pregnant. Nope, it would be fine, she says. By the time I got seen, I had been there for 5 hours...I was very irritated, they took my blood pressure which was 143/122 and then dismissed me....my irritation turned in to pure anger. Let's just say, I was not very nice when I left. I cried the whole way to my grandparents...I went to a few UTMB clinics to see if they could at least prescribe me something for the pain...it was a no go. Luckily my aunt showed up at my grandparents after she got off work...she just happens to be a doctor....she looked at the tooth and told me it was definitely abscessed and that I would need an antibiotic which she happily called in. She told me to rinse with warm water and put heat on it. BTW my face is swollen on the outside..."Godfather" style...She said that while ice would keep the swelling down, heat would extract the abscess faster. So that is my course of action. Hopefully I wont have any more problems with the tooth for the rest of my pregnancy, and afterwards I can have more work done on the tooth. I am still in a lot of pain. but at least I know it will go away soon. Wish me Luck.
