Can you use something like Anbesol?

 

[redtailgal]

Cloves, suck on whole cloves and pack them in the cheek around that tooth. Tastes awful, but will help with the pain AND freshen your breath!

Suppose to get a big snow storm Friday night. The way its going we could get 4-6 inches or maybe more or less if the path changes, which it seems to do alot. I've moved the Sheep into a closer pen with their new LGD's on duty. Rolley came home a day early do to the up coming snow storm. He's chilling in the family room watching ESPN.

Llama's are with the Cows. Put down alot of extra straw for all the animals especially the pigs.

Oh how nice Rolly can watch college basketball and the football games this weekend.

Go UK!!!!

Go Giants!!!

 

[autumnprairie]

apology accepted, I have been running full steam this week, so forgive me for not being here sooner. I am so glad to here that Rolley is home living the good life for a while. Will Rolley ever be a LGD again or just a couch potatoe now? Please don't cut his horns feed him raisins or yogurt covered raisins it will take time but he will come around.

I had a friend with an abcessed tooth and they had him use hydrogen peroxide on it to get him through the w/e. (I'd ask dentist before trying it, though!) Must have opened it up and drained it? Good luck!

 

[autumnprairie]

hope you feel better

 

[77Herford]

Yeah, I've had this abcess before. Called the Dentist and waiting for call back. I know I'll need a shot of Penicillan but the Dentist doesn't do that they will just tell me what I already know and then my normal Doctor will have to give me the shot as every antibiotic seems to hurt my stomach. The shots work fine. I'm so tired of the pain and now swollen jaw.

 

[77Herford]

Well taking another chance on Penicillian. Doc says whatever happened before it should be easy on my stomach so were trying it again. I hope this works out.

Got a few inches of snow which is nice to see.

I hope ya feel better soon 77--not much worse than a tooth ache unless it's an ear ache. Good luck with the pennicillan--I'm super allergic to it and all sulfa drugs, was given it only once when a kid and it nearly killed me, so I can't offer any input on that aspect.

As for the apology, don't sweat it. As an old military guy, who has heard lots of old "war stories" I can appreciate the difference between untruths and a bit of embellishment. Just keep working with your place and like all the rest of us, one day you will have it just as you envision and want it to be, tho (again--like the rest of us) it probably will never be exactly what you want it to be--I know my place won't. Oh, and btw, you have livestock--you, I, and the rest just ain't supposed to be rich--moneywise. Farming, work, toil, sweat, blood, trouble, and debt go hand in hand--------farming and wealth-ehhh--not so much. But you, I, and everyone else here are rich in ways no banker could ever account for. You have a herd and goal to be proud of--hang in there with it--lots to be said for having dirt and pasture under your feet instead of a city sidewalk with skyscrapers overhead.
