Angelia - I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this. Until you see the Periodonist on Monday, isn't there any way maybe he could give you something for the painfull gums? You are doing so much to help others, you certainly deserve to have a little relief for yourself. I hope you don't have to wait until you see your MO next week. Sending positive vibes your way.
