Crochet Me Crazy

Jeff has had a rough week this week. He failed his CDL driving test on Wednesday. The next day he had to get up at 5 am to drive to Corpus Christi to get a load of pipe. He tried to go to bed early but hardly got an ounce of sleep because one of his teeth started bothering him. I knew something was weird when he kept getting up, waking up, etc because usually Jeff could sleep through a hurricane and nothing wakes him up. He got up and worked hard that day while his tooth was hurting him all day. He said he was sucking on ice and it made it feel better. This morning he took his CDL again and didn't pass this time because he hit the curb while parallel parking. The girl giving him his test said next time just make sure you don't hit the curb...he doesn't have to pass the parallel parking to get his license but you can't hit the curb or you fail. Third times the charm? lol -- Anyway, he called me on his way home to get me to call dentists because he said his whole face is swollen today. He had a root canal several years ago and the dentist's drill bit broke off INSIDE of his tooth. This is the tooth that is hurting him now. I found a dental clinic in Uvalde that Jeff was on his way into when the dentist in Houston called me back. He called in a prescription for Jeff to start taking. When Jeff got home with his prescription, I was horrified when I saw him. He was much more swollen and he was burning up with fever. He was half incoherent and I had to make him get out of the shower when he got in a hot shower. He kept trying to bundle himself up in blankets but I kept being mean and taking them off because I knew his fever was high. We put ice on his face and made him sit up. I was so worried about him and was really wondering if I was going to have to take him to the emergency room. His fever finally broke and the swelling seemed to go down slightly so I felt a little better than he would be okay. When he lays down, his face swells up more. I think I've finally convinced him the importance of keeping his head up. He is supposed to keep his head above his heart. I called the dentist this morning and he told me to double up his antibiotic dose so that's what I am doing today and that as long as he doesn't get worse, have diarrhea, a rash or get nauseated, then we are probably okay. He is still swollen today and his fever is 101 the last time I checked it. I'm keeping his butt home as long as he is swollen up like this.
