You have all my prayers, girlfriend. If I could give you one of my bones, I would. If I lived closed, I'd be right there beside ya!

HUGS and prayers dear friend

Now there's an offer ya don't get every day. LOL It's frustrating because I had a procedure done a few years ago to enable my body to grow more bone and it was successful, so I'm not sure why I have this infection.

Thanx for your thoughts and prayers, everyone. I appreciate it.

Mary, you have a lot of Pittsburgh prayers coming your way that this can be taken care of without surgery.

Well, it's been a $500 day but if it keeps me from having surgery, it was worth it. My dr. took an x-ray and said that the infection appears to be in the gums only and not in the bone this time. So he gave me 3 injections of an antibiotic directly into my gums and an Rx for Clindamycin. I have to go back in two weeks for a followup. The injections didn't hurt but now my gums are sore and it feels like the antibiotic is in my ears. LOL I'm relieved, though, that the infection didn't originate in the bone or I'd probably be headed for surgery again. Hopefully, the Clindamycin will clear it up and that'll be the end of it. (Had I known he was going to prescribe that, I would've taken some of the fur posse's. )

Thanx for the prayers and good thoughts, everyone, and I'll let you know the outcome in two weeks.

Prayers that this will fix it up!
