Well one of the medications I take is Toradol, which is a super duper anti-inflammatory. And in twenty minutes the pain went away and the swelling went down.
Until today when it came back with a vengeance.
Toradol wasn't helping, so about 5:30 pm I drove myself to the Emergency Room in Portland about 27 miles away.
As I was pulling into the parking lot I saw 3 boys running along side of drive and I slowed down and stopped to let them cross. The boy in the front with a kick scooter slipped on the mud and fell down.
The two boys with him started ragging on him.
They boy got up and they all crossed the driveway and as I let off the brake and started pulling away I heard one of the boys say to the one who fell.
"Man you just did that in front of Santa Claus."
What do you think? Am I Santa Claus?
Oh and the swelling? Evidently when I fell and smashed my cheek, the crown on my molar cut my gum and now I have an abscess.
So I'm on a 10 day course of antibiotics.
