It's been a long week. I had my #30 tooth pulled on Monday. It was a hard extraction, the tooth was broken and stubborn. So, I have been nursing a really sore jaw. What some people don't understand, that when you have any auto-immune disease, healing after a procedure takes a wee bit more time and it can aggravate your disease. So, I had a few flare-ups this week and I wasn't up to blogging.
Thank goodness for old family remedies. My Dad always had problem with his teeth and he used clove oil to help with the pain. My big sister reminded me, so on Friday I picked up some. You put it on a q-tip and rub it on the sore tooth or gum. It numbs it. You have to get used to the taste and smell. But, I the spice so I don't mind.
To be honest, this week I wasn't up for exercising or getting into my meeting or weigh in. But tomorrow is another new day/week. I am not giving up, I will keep on plugging away.
