Thoughts and prayers coming your way right away, Mary. I'm just seeing this. You are so brave. This can't be very pleasant for you

Well, thank you for that but I don't know how brave I am. I gotta do what I gotta do. I just wish I'd wake up w/out blood in my mouth in the morning. I'd be more encouraged that the antibiotic is working. If this infection spreads to the bone, then it's surgery time again. It's just weird that it started in the gums; it started in the bone the last two times and, by the time I noticed bleeding in the gums, it was too late. I'm doing my best to stay positive and I'm saying my positive affirmations until I stutter. LOL

I'm just now seeing this thread, Mary. I'm so sorry you are in pain and having to deal with this. I hope and pray that the antibiotics clear this up and quickly for you!

[Medusa]

Thank you, Kim. I'm confident that the antibiotic will do its job but I sure do appreciate all the PT prayers as back up. No, actually, the antibiotic is the back up. I'll take the prayers any time!

Our prayers continue to flow in your direction!

Fingers and paws crossed, and prayers said.

I feel as though I'm improving but I still wake up w/blood in my mouth every morning. I don't bleed when I eat or brush or floss or use the water pik, only when I first wake up. I go back to the dr. in a week and he may give me more injections of the antibiotic and maybe switch to another one. Erythromycin always worked before but he didn't want to give me the same one each time. (Yeah, why do what works. ) Thanx for the continued prayer, though, friends. I appreciate it a lot.
