...and the cause of the painful facial swelling is : Sinusitus of the Left Maxillary Sinus!
Even I had assumed it was a dental issue, but I suppose it's a good (and cheaper) thing that it wasn't.
Yes, I ended up going into the UC, as the swelling was getting annoying (and not lessening).
so I'm on an odd combo of amox-plus-[something that keeps the bacteria needed in the sinus from getting eliminated]
the only bad thing is when I have an empty stomach, it plays havoc on my stomach - feeling like someone lit matches in my gut.
SO I've been trying to eat more during work than I usually do (since most of my waking day during the week is at work).
The day after the UC visit, spent the afterwork hours with the ex checking out an alternate schooling possibility.
I must say the meeting went very well, I think - we were both impressed with the educational options
(since it's a public school, they hit both national and MN standards as well as above/beyond in some cases)...
and, yes, social, too (since so many put so much importance upon that - as does MN standards).
the accessibility and transparency is VERY wonderful (currently we barely get any info from the teachers) as well as the parental involvement
and educational options increase in Middle, then High school
I do believe we're going to go for it... for the sake of our girls
(not the least of to get them out of the demned bullying environment that their current school doesn't give two-shits about)
we've had some warm "spurts" weather-wise, but winter hasn't let its grip go completely yet...
BUT nonetheless I braved the below-freezing temps this mornin' to get quarters to do laundry - and it ended up being a wonderful thing.
Why, you may ask?!
Two Words: Girl Scout COOKIES!
heheheheehhe... *ahem* ANYways - love the demn things and don't know anyone with daughters in scouting, so it's only by luck that I end up getting any of the oh-so wonderful Thin Mints and Tagalongs!
So, if you need me, my mouth is going to be doing the happy dance and I'm gonna watch myself some classics
...and probably do some laundry, since that is why I went out this mornin' in the first place.
