Ok I am back and wearing the patch. My ENT does not think it is the cancer returning, but an infection related to the crown replacement that the dentist did two weeks ago. It makes sense time wise from when I started to suffer.

Once my sense of humor returns I will find it funny that I had to go to 4 different CVS Pharmacies and meet my doctor in a parking lot to get her to sign my narcotics prescription on the back of some guy's car who was none to happy about it.

I have antibiotics, prendesone for the swelling and the patch along with my hydrochodone for any break through pain. I just hope that something starts working soon. My ENT did ask if the dentist put me on any antibiotics before starting treatment. Obviously not and I wonder why.

With this, the fact that he hurt me at the last appointment and did not stop when I said stop (I was off of my seat grabbing at him so he knew I wanted him to stop) and the attitude from the receptionist since I went on Medicaid he has probably just become my ex-dentist. I was planning to pay over $1000 in COBRA to get my teeth finished with him through my old insurance since he does not take Medicaid and I will not be hurt, allowed to get an infection and talked down to while I spend money.

I will go feed my poor starving dogs now and take it easy tonight. I am hoping for some sleep later, but I will check in after a little rest.

Thanks for all the well wishes guys. It really helped make me stronger.
