altivoWell, newsletter done and shipped off at least.
Thought Gary was over the after-effects of his root canal but yesterday and today he has been in growing pain, with swelling in a different spot in his mouth. He had been taking ibuprofen which has apparently raised his blood pressure too so he had to switch back to aspirin. Finally tonight he called the specialist's emergency number and they said they would phone in a prescription for an antibiotic and he should call in the morning for an emergency appointment. I'm not impressed with those folks. I think this is an infection caused by poor aseptic procedures on their part.
Off to drive him to the all night pharmacy for his medicine.
Health care in the US: more dubious than you think, and very expensive.
