I could use your prayers, please. *Update 5/27*

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!

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.

I'm really sorry you have to deal with these things! Maybe you can tell them you want your old meds back when the new ones don't help?

Best wishes for your recovery are on the way!!

Tomorrow is my appt. w/my surgeon for the two week check up. My gums aren't as inflamed, which is good, but I still spit blood first thing in the morning. No pain, though, so maybe I'm ahead of the game. Now I'm afraid I'm getting another attack of shingles. I have only one tiny blister on my hip but that's how it started the last time and because I had never had them before, I didn't know what that funny feeling was. I thought something was rubbing against my waist, like threads in my jeans or something and, by the time I got home from work, I had an outbreak. Shingles are painful and I now have neuropathy from the first case. I sure don't need it again. Good grief, my body seems to be rebelling! So, when you're saying your prayers, please remember me.
