Week in Review:

Ryan:

-Had one hell of a week…..wisdom tooth extraction w/novocaine. Extraction went well, not too much discomfort Tuesday. Then came Wednesday…small amount of swelling, not a lot of pain but a very foul taste. Went in Thursday morning because the swelling was MUCH worse. Doctor was pretty alarmed, did a CAT scan and scheduled another surgery that day with full sedation to clean out the infection. He told me when I woke up that had I waited over the weekend to see how it went I most likely would have ended up in the hospital by Sunday. Doing okay now, on 1000 mg of two antibiotics (Cephalexin & Flagyl), antibiotic mouthwash. Great oral surgeons though. Very well taken care of.
