| More help from Frazier |
The tooth extraction adventure continues (see "A Visit from the Tooth Frazier," Thursday, December 7, 2023). Apparently, the root was so close to
my sinus that an inadvertent sneeze the other day blew out the membrane
between the empty socket and the sinus cavity. This hurt like shit, as you can
imagine, so I returned to the periodontist, and they stitched my tooth socket
back together and warned me not to sneeze or blow my nose or anything. Still,
despite being on an antibiotic, the sinus cavity has gotten infected.
Currently, I've a bit of a fever, and if I'm so minded (in the words of friend
Terry), I can blow my nose through my tooth socket. I'm not gonna, though, and
you can't make me.
Anyway, I went back to the periodontist today. While things are uncomfortable,
everything seems to be healing well. So, I'm to finish the antibiotic and take
NyQuil and such for the feeling like shit.
So be it.
