So for those of you who remember my Valentine's Day this year, it was spent in some pain. I had a Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma on my upper right jaw. This little onus of mine created quite the turmoil at the time, but it was excised, and sent off to be biopsied. You may recall that the Periodontist thought it was a "Pregnancy Tumor", even after I assured him I was not, nor have I ever been, pregnant. Well, I survived that. I was told there was a 7-17% chance it would come back. A couple weeks back, I noticed another bump in my mouth in the same place but on the other side.
Fast forward to today, 0830 and I'm sitting in the Dentist's office getting prepped for a crown, but the tumor had to come off since it was sitting right over the tooth that needed the crown. So this morning, I not only got a (nother) temporary crown, but I had my tumor excised. Lovely. I'm really not feeling so hot, and I certainly don't feel like working. I would rather go home and take 5 more advil and just sleep for the next two weeks.
The most unfortunate part??? Thanksgiving is Thursday. I suppose this will persuade me not to overindulge. I stopped for a Jamba Juice today, and I don't even feel like eating that. *sigh*

Sorry to hear that, Kate. Hope you're feeling better soon!
Love you!
Thanks. I'm working on that part. :) Love you too!
So sorry to hear about your mouth issues...I for one think that having mouth issues at Thanksgiving or Christmas stinks! Hopefully, it will settle down before then! If not, tell your dentist to give you some heave pain killers so you can enjoy the holiday - well, as much as you can with me not being there! :) I miss you guys! Feel well soon!
What a bummer, especially at this time of year! I hope everything heals up quickly for you.
