So DH travels a lot for business and right now he's literally on the other side of the country. He ended up in the ER last night with horrible pain in his face / jaw area that had gotten worse all day, after keeping him from sleeping the night before. Of course with the time difference, it was the middle of the night when I got the text - "In the ER, in an incredible amount of pain." Great. It took 2 hours for him to be seen and it turns out it's like a loose back molar - so a dental issue. The percocets they gave him aren't helping and he's calling local dentists out there this morning to see if he can get in anywhere for emergency treatment. Not sure if it's an abscess or what but it's obviously some kind of infection / nerve issue. I feel so bad for him since I'm here and he's there. The good news is that I am flying out there tomorrow - we had planned before any of this for me to fly out there (San Fran, CA) for the holiday weekend but now he might be recovering from a dental surgery! (Which - whatever - I just want to be out there with him so he's not suffering alone.)
I just feel so bad for him since he's in so much pain. And he's NOT the kind of guy who runs to the doctor or complains unless it's really bad, either. :-(
Re: DH in ER last night :-(
Oh no! That sucks! The only thing worse than being sick, is being sick and not at home. I hope he gets in to see a dentist today!
I know this was suppose to be a minivacation for you guys, and now he'll have a hard time eating-- maybe you can order room service and get every kind of ice cream they have, or something! Make a night out of it...
Thanks, girls. I aprpeciate the empathy and prayers for him! Poor guy. :-(
I am so glad now I'll be there tomorrow. Granted, we'll be in hotels and not the comfort of our own home but we can get ice cream and soft foods...and good to know about the Lortabs. I'd not heard of those but I'll let him know to ask the dentist about those if the Percocets aren't doing anything. He did say having an ice cube in his mouth against the problematic tooth is the only thing that's helping at this point...
He managed to get an appmt for 12:30PST so 3 more hours and he'll get checked out by the dentist, at least.
He can't eat or drink anything - hurts too much. :-( Ugh, ugh, ugh. I just wanna know what's wrong and he just wants them to fix it so the pain goes way. (Well, that makes two of us)
