Scroll down for more details in recent post. The tooth abscess pain and swelling reached its peak last night. Today, thank God it is nearly a zero pain level and now only mild swelling. When I realized that waking up, my first thought is readers must be praying for me as I had asked. Plus the antibiotics are working. Also, finally got in to see the neurosurgeon Friday. Good news, no need for surgery or anything else. All low back issues on MRI are at worst mild. But was warned to lose weight or risk needing surgery one day. Today my perspective is there is light on the horizon. I got the root canal and should clear up the infection, God willing, this week. Please pray for that.
