Chapter 8, Page 16...
I went to sleep Saturday night about 11-ish. I woke up Sunday about 230 having to go to the bathroom, and my upper right jaw, at the back was BEATING and THROBBING! I thought I had another abscess in the same place I did back in March. It hurt THAT MUCH! I went to the bathroom and decided not to take any Advil cause if I went to sleep anyway, I wouldn't need the Advil, so i went back to bed and tried to go to sleep. Finally, about 330 I gave up, took three Advil and went back to bed, and was soon, asleep.
I woke about 6 to use the bathroom....and the pain was gone. Nothing. Nada. If I wasn't positive I felt it, I'd have though the whole thing was a dream. Craziness.
About 830, I got up, showered, dressed, grabbed the Sunday paper, got breakfast at Rutters and walked to mom's house. There I ate breakfast while reading the paper. And then mom got home from church. She changed her clothes and we started.
The goal Sunday was to get all the drawers out of the dressers moved out the cottage. That way, the movers won't have to bother with them, and once the movers have everything there, we'll just put the drawers back in. Her brother and his wife showed up with their van and we loaded all 15 drawers into it. (Fifteen drawers! For ONE person? Sheesh!) And out to the cottage we went.
It was hot Sunday, but not as bad at the cottage because when we unloaded the drawers we were in the shade and there was a breeze. Unlike when we loaded them in the direct sun and no breeze. After getting them all into the garage, we all went to their house, they to stay home, we to get my uncle's pickup...there was more we had to get. At mom's there was three sheets of plywood, two, foot square concrete tiles, and a framed world map that I was taking to my house. So we loaded them into the truck and then brought them all down to my basement (except for the map, which stayed in the dining room, waiting to be hung).
Following this, as I was all sweaty, I took another shower while she returned the truck, got gas in her car and then changed her own clothes. Then she picked me up and off we went to Fuddrucker's for lunch. And then we wandered around Target for a bit. And I gotta tell you, I was honestly very surprised at all the hot guys in Fuddruckers and Target on a Sunday afternoon! I saw three white guys with bubble asses I normally only expect on black guys! What a pleasant surprise that was! Actually enjoyed being in Target.
After this, mom dropped me off and I spent the remainder of the day in the house, watching TV, on the computer, reading. Mom and her sister (who had been at the beach all last week and therefore unable to help) went back out to the cottage later in the evening and got more boxes unpacked. But me, I just stayed here, watching the majority of "The Sixth Sense" (it's not as good upon a second viewing when you know what's going on), and then went to bed (as I was laying in bed, my upper back jaw began to...well not hurt, really, just....tingle? There was a sensation back there, but not really pain, and not really bad at all), read, and then to sleep.

I had that happen right before a root canal. The pain was almost unbearable. Only thing that helped was ice. Lasted until 3 am, then all of a sudden - nothing. Turns out it was the nerve dying. Maybe that was it? Hope you get it checked out, though.
Sounds like the move is under control : ).
