    Thumbs down Watch out for dentists...........

    No no this is not a rant about what was on TV the other day .. it's what happened to me this week !

    Thursday - got a molar taken out at CU school of dentistry
    Friday- was tired .. bit more then normal for a tooth pull ( I've had a couple pulled )
    Saturday- still pretty tired and was starting to have a sore hard to open jaw..... figured it was just delayed swelling...
    Sunday- got real bad could hardly open jaw.. major swelling..
    Monday ( 2am) in to the ER I go was starting to have a hard time breathing swollen up like a beach ball on the left side of my face( same side I got the tooth pulled on)
    I was at 50%+ obstructed airway at one point... Blood Oxygen saturation was down to 70% at one point too so into the ICU I went major doses of antibiotics and steroids to get me back to normal!

    was there till tuesday evening.. then off to a normal room and they just kicked me lose an hour ago


    Moral of the story?

    make sure you get and take antibiotics when you get a tooth pulled!!!! ( I was offered none and never had before so I thought nothing of it.. I will next time tell ya that!)

    How was your week ?
