;) Thank you, Bahbah!
I am glad to be rid of the tooth as it had been a recipient of 3 root canals. At the time, I had no known allergies, but since then, I developed an allergy to nickel, which was used in the process. So the way I see it, I am getting rid of something that makes me sick.
Also, I can be more upbeat now that I found soy ice cream that tastes like the real thing (Trader Joe’s) and I paired it with a sliver of apple pie that I’d made.
Full disclosure - I put too much shortening in the pie dough and it’s the messiest I have ever made, but the crust is flaky and airy and tastes wonderful.
I also forgot the fake butter after putting the top crust on, but cut some slits in the crust and pushed it through and it worked out. LOL Not ideal, but it worked.
save, I ALWAYS forget to put on the pats of butter.
ALWAYS.
SL, I just read your response to Bahbah about having 3 three root canals on that tooth.
Don’t want to concern you unnecessarily; but,if you don’t have marked improvement now that the tooth has been removed, hope you will ask if there could be a bone level infection caused by the infected tooth.
I know someone who was shocked to find that problem caused by a tooth that had previously had root canal work done on it. The orthodontist who did the surgery said that the abcessed gum was a fortunate, early sign of the problem, because many people don’t realize what is happening until more damage is done.
The symptoms that persisted were a periodic low grade fever, and sapped energy levels despite meds giving some relief, but never entirely getting rid of the problem.
Of course, this may have nothing to do with your tooth infection. Just wanted to tell you about it just in case.
