Been doing fine until a little while ago; last night didn't bother me, except

for some weather wakeups (tornados this morning, fun, fun, fun). Something is

definitely up with my mouth...my plan of action now is to start the

amoxicillin prescription, as a precaution, and be at the oral surgeon's doorstep

Monday

morning...I don't understand what happens here, though. The dentist said, in

essence my body was rejecting my teeth as they crumbled. The broken molar

seems to be looser tonight (causing me quite a panic attack -- I HATE those

now!),

and although it doesn't hurt, something is definitely changing. I had already

wondered what would happen if it came out before someone decided it was safe

to pull it -- would the tissue collapse against the three holes that I'm told

would be left in my sinus cavity wall? If my body's rejecting them, does it

have some sort of plan here? At one point, the oral surgeon who sent me on --

when I asked him if this was an urgent problem, he said no -- said there might

have to be bone grafts...from where in my osteoporosis-ridden skeleton would

they take these, and how could that be good when I can't seem to build up the

bone mass I have? Was he just being alarmist? I wish I could see my osteopod

before June....I wish I wasn't so prone to anxiety to begin with...

Too much, take this away, I don't want it...ah well.
