    Hi @onemargie
    Thanks for thinking of me! I've had a shocking head cold & sore throat since Sunday & cough now as well! Feeling tired, but not sleeping much. Had a lazy dvd day yest, not sure if it helped much. 
    Hope you are well?

    I totally here you & understand the  frustration you are feeling. I tried to get help from the cancer council, they said I shd contact counterpart for any issues. I did have a good peer support lady but my 5 sessions ran out.I am now going to try privately, more expense ! But if it helps it will be worth it i guess. I have days when i'm upset for no reason, & after what was meant to be my final surgery, i've been worse than through all of the other processes.
    Hope things get better for you xoxo

    @onemargie - I've had an infected tooth root which cannot be operated on until next Monday due to the inflammation.

    2 years ago I went to Bali to visit my son and his Balinese wife as I regularly do. I went to the dentist there and had an implant put into my jaw. The idea being that in 6 months I go back and they screw the lovely little molar onto the now well and truly embedded implant.

    3 months after I come back to Australia the implant gets sucked out of my jawbone. It just got looser and looser and one day it just popped out. Then within a few weeks a piece of bone or tooth or something appears where the implant had been jackhammered into my lower jaw. It was so tiny and the size of a pin head that I thought I'd deal with it later, after cancer.

    Last Friday that tiny little pinprick of a tooth where one shouldn't be, decided to make itself known and by Saturday night I'm at the hospital begging for relief.

    I went back on Sunday morning to have an x-ray to determine that I haven't got necrosis of the jaw, but a few live roots coming directly out of where the implant was placed. The tiny piece of tooth I can feel is just the tip of the ideberg.

    The moral of this story is never have your teeth done in Asia!

    @Joannie, I hope so. He said next Monday but it's still quite red and swollen which is why he couldn't touch it yesterday. I have no temp, but am having some IV antibiotics tomorrow as I wont take them orally, they make me really sick. At least all the surrounding teeth have calmed down.

    Ouch @PatsyN,

    Dental work is the pitts.  I had a tooth pulled out in between surgery and chemo.  The damn thing annoyed me more than the chemo somedays.  Hope they sort it out quickly for you.
