Thanks Mailer, I'm getting there. I've seen my Internist since 1989. She knows and I know, if this tough ole broad EVER says "I'm in severe pain" (which is never-ha!) she needs to get me something PRONTO. Opiod Pain killers for 3 days last weekend gave me some relief, sleep and a chance for the Augmentin (penicillin) to kick start. But I've never had a sinus infection before and NEVER want one again...never had pain like the right side of my face was having labor contractions...Ya that bad! Well, you wouldn't know. ; ) Ever had kidney stone pain or an abcessed tooth? Try 4 abcessed teeth, two top, two bottom....but it was just an infection. Where did this come from?!! The tooth nerve endings go up into that sinus air pocket doc explained.
And I recall a sore to the touch apple of my cheek on my birthday, Oct. 2nd. Like I got punched. That was when the infection began. That's why I haven't been here. Couldn't function thru the waves of pain. I waited too long to go in to be seen. Stupid, stubborn me.

So glad you've got your pain covered.
Lol...wait...the labor pain thing?
Some men do experience pain worse than the labor pain. :oops:

Most Embarrassing Situations Ever

Oops! Lol, just trying to get you to laugh so you can heal faster:D

Back at home :)

When I was stopped over night in Indiana at a Walmart, I got to see something interesting.
I walk in the front doors and see a security person and another Walmart employee trying to get a not so valued customer to go into this side room. He starts waving them off, the whole don't touch me thing. I never see any live action stuff, so my interest was peeked. Then just like in COPS or stupidest criminals, he make a bolt for the front doors.

Unfortunately for him, his timing of the sliding doors was a little off. They closed just as he got there and he face planted the glass. He then proceeded to force the doors open, and to my surprise they came off there tracks pretty easy.
(Note to self, don't use Walmart to hide out during the zombie apocalypse, the doors won't hold up).

He managed to squeeze his way through the now off track doors, and took off running outside.
Walmarts finest gave some chase, but I think he got away. But have some good memorable video I'm sure.

During the course of all this, somehow, the fire alarm got triggered and was sounding in the store. About 10mins later the fire department rolled in.

I was talking with the check out lady who was not very surprised, saying "this happens about 6-7 times a week".
Kind of comical in a way, was the Walmart greeter who casually looked up and announced, "we got a runner" :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear about this, hope stuff starts working/helping fast. This will encourage me to make a long long long over do dental visit.

If you drove like a real expediter, your boss wouldn't have to put on more units. It's all your fault.

Have never had any dental problems...Hope to never have either!
But I'm assuming my PAIN was 'like that' of MULTIPLE abcessed teeth, becuz the infection was hitting the nerve endings of those upper Molars.
Ya, please go do a PM on your teeth!! For your health's sake.

LOVVVVE my new Espar D4 Heater...it really puts out the heat in a much bigger way!
The leaves and sumac are illuminated looking! Love Fall. Hey, the Farmer's Alamanac is claiming that the northern States will have a warmer winter this year Nov-Mar, and the Southern States will have much precipitation.
The past 2 winters were enough for me for a while....-20 degrees and all.

Waiting to pick up in the morning from Columbia sc to Athens ga for early Monday morning drop. That makes 6 loads in 7 days. Not too shabby of a week. Looking to top this next week since it is traditionally the best week of the month but you know how that goes.
