Thanks I'm feeling better. I had my first pain-free night in a while last night, so got some good sleep, finally! I saw the dentist yesterday and he said the infection is looking better. I'm thinking the antibiotics will have it completely knocked out this weekend, so we're looking at next week to go ahead with the procedure, which will tell then tell us what the next step is. Keep your fingers crossed I won't need to see an oral surgeon. I'm also getting my CPAP this week and have a Zoom appointment on Thurs with a respiratory therapist so they can show me how to set it up and use it.
I'm going to try eating something other than soup today, but am still sticking with soft foods.
