Not a Good Weekend

So this weekend did not go so well. To start, on Friday Latanya had her dentist appointment to take out her other two wisdom teeth. It did not go so well. The dentist took out the top one and then struggled to take out the bottom. The root was so strong and long that he was unable to remove it. So he filed it down so there was only the root left. He told Latanya that she had to come back on Saturday morning to remove the rest. When she came out of the room she was in so much pain. It was the worst amount of pain she ever felt in her life. I felt so bad for her. We asked for some stronger medicine to deal with the pain and he subscribed some extra strength Tylenol. We were like, this is ridiculous. So we ended up doubling up the medicine with some we had at home. Regardless Friday night was the worst night for Latanya. She basically cried herself to sleep from the pain. I tried to do everything I could. We rotated ice packs from the freezer to keep the swelling down. She was just in so much pain. On top of the pain she was not allowed to eat anything for whole other day.
We went back to the dentist Saturday morning as instructed. The dentist had a specialist take out the rest of the root. It was a complicated procedure apparently. Latanya's root was curved and it was really close to the bone. This made the extraction difficult. They had to drill in her mouth and break apart the root to be able to remove it. The extra numbing medicine they gave her was not enough, so the pain was once again excruciating. Finally they got it all out and stitched her up. Oh ya, she has to go back in a week to remove the stitches. We then went home and once the numbing went away the pain started to set in and she once again was in the same amount of pain as before. I went to get her some soup broth so she could have something in her stomach. After an adventure in the supermarket and a run through the rain I brought it back and made her something to eat. She was able to take a nap and got some rest.
The next day, Sunday was supposed to be better right? Well for Latanya it was. Other than a little bit of pain and discomfort she was doing much better. It just hurt her to talk. She was eating solid food and was up and about. Me on the other hand had come down with something. I woke up as if a bus had hit me. I was all congested and felt like crap. We watched some movies and tried to help each other out. But my body was aching and in so much pain all of a sudden. I ended up getting a really bad fever. My head was on fire and all of a sudden Latanya was taking care of me. Talk about a switch. My fever finally broke in the middle of the night, after countless times waking up. I woke up this morning feeling much better, but still under the weather. Latanya stayed home from work so she could prevent herself from talking all day to her kids. All in all it was a pretty bad weekend. Hopefully this week will be much better.
