I am definitely improved today, it still hurts but it's much better. I expect to be sitting up and taking a little light broth anyday now.Thanks for your all your help.I don't mind confessing that I was a little panicked, 41 is a helluva age to get to without ever having toothache or anything done to your teeth, aside from a quick operation to whip out my wisdoms ( and doesn't that explain a lot!).I see I wasn't missing much.
