Pain, pain and more pain!

For the past few days I have had a toothache, I have tried to just ignore it for two reasons. One... because I am on vacation and far from my dentist and two...because I checked which tooth it is, and it is root canal and a crown so I figured it couldn't really be this tooth. I couldn't take the pain and throbbing much more so I called my dentist yesterday. I had a really rough night, up almost every 3-4 hours and took 3 Advil and kept heating up my rice bag. This morning I finally got a hold of my dentist, he checked my records and asked me some questions...he is pretty sure that my root canal has gone bad, and that I have an acute abscess!.
So he suggested that I get into my sister-in-laws dentist, he was so nice to get me in so quickly and basically said the same thing that my dentist told me. He gave me prescriptions for two antibiotics and a pain killer. He told me to not travel for a few days and to stay low. So that is what I did all day laid low and prayed that I would be able to handle the pain until the infection starts to leave. I don't ever remember having a toothache like this before.

I really don't have a lot of happy or motivational things to say tonight, I just hurt too bad. I did however watch the movie Secretariat today, and I loved the moral of the story. The only bad thing about it was...the horse in the movie got sick and he had an abscess too, that is too weird. But I did listen to the words to one of the songs and so that will be my inspiration for tonight.

IT'S WHO YOU ARE

It's not the price
It's not the game
It's not the score
It's not the fame
Whatever road looks way too far
It's not what you have
It's who you are
It's not how fast
It's not how far
It's not of cheers
It's who you are
In darkest night
You make your sun
You choose your race
And then you run
It's never the glory
It's never the score
It's not about seeing about who's less and who's more
'Cause when you find out how fast and how far
You'll know it's not how much you have
It's who you are
You lose the moon
Then be a star
It's not too soon
Be who you are
Whatever road looks way too far
It's not what you have
It's who you are
It's never the glory
It's never the score
It's not seeing about seeing
Who's less and who's more
'Cause when you find out how fast and how far
You'll know it's not how much you have
It's who you are
When you have found
How fast you can run
Then you have found
Your place in the sun,
It won't be just you that you'll find
Has made the run and the climb
It's everyone
It's never the glory
It's never the score
It's not seeing about seeing
Who's less and who's more
'Cause when you find out how fast and how far
you'll know it's not how much you have
It's who you are
It's who you are
Learning to bend and not to break
Living to give more than you take
Dying to live
Living to try
Feet on the ground
Dreams in the sky
It's never how much you have
It's who you are
