I have 2 words for you...oral surgery

I have been under the weather. Friday, Jan 6th I left work early because I had an asthma attack. I took my breathing treatment and shot in the ehinnie like a big girl and went home to rest.
The following Monday, I was in pain so I called my dentist and asked to come in. I had a filling (I thought)fall out earlier.
My dentist looked and said the tooth could not be saved and referred me to an oral surgeon.
As it turned out the tooth had cracked below the gumline and was abcessed. The roots went into the sinus cavity.
Can I tell you that flexible spending accounts are the best thing that I've done for me in a while?
I ended up taking the entire week off. As my friend Lena put it, I looked like I was in a fight and lost.
Today is my first day back and I'm leaving early to have the stitches removed.
Can you say ouch somebody?
