What a relief that the swelling is going down and you are headed in the right direction.

I totally understand the positive of not calling T. What changes and growth you have undergone. This is a real big deal, you are in pain, very swollen with an infected bone in your mouth, scared, H has not been feeling well (but hopefully better by now), tired and have a house full of kids, yet you have the inner strength to know you will be OK. And you are relying on that inner strength. You have done amazing work, Tree, its like carrying an inner T with you. WOW!

I hope tomorrow is even more improvement
