Well, it happened again... and again... each time the pain was stronger and lasted longer. By Sunday night I was having trouble sleeping. By Monday, I was sitting on the couch with an ice pack on my face.
I called the Dentist Tuesday am. Despite their jam packed number of appointments they fit me in. Both my upper and lower jaw were hurting on my left side. The pain was radiating so I couldn't tell what the source of it was.
My Dentist Jack Bassey gave me some pain meds and antibiotics and said to schedule a root canal on my top tooth (which based on xrays appeared to be the cause of my dental woes). I went home and tried to get some sleep.

So while Zach was at home cleaning, I was just in agony. By 3:00pm, I was actually starting to get queasy it hurt so much. The dentist called back and said to come in because they had an opening. Thank the lord.
So Dr. Jack did an emergency pulpectomy. Don't understand most of it, but from what I can gather it is the first half of a root canal. I still have to have the second part done this week and then about 6 weeks later, I have to have a crown put on.
As he gave me the initial freezing, I almost fell asleep as for the first time in three days, all the pain was gone. It was divine. As sore as I am right now, it feels orders of magnitude better than it did yesterday. I am all hopped up on T3s, which yesterday weren't even denting the pain.
As for AMJ... well, let's see.... Vegas.... then weekends at the cabin.... I have been so busy that I have forgotten to post updates. Mostly because there was nothing to report actually. I am within 5 lbs of my lowest point, which frankly given all the decadence as of late is a miracle.
I haven't given up on AMJ at all. I am still plugging away, but I think I need a break from the weekly updates. I am confident that I will have a new plan shortly, but for now... maintenance.

It's good that you are feeling better. I can just imagine how much pain you were in. As detailed as your post was, I don't think anyone can quite understand just by reading.
Plus, the topper- son getting into a fight at school. At least you didn't have to spend time talking to him about what he did. He was able to do some introspection and take the necessary action.
