Friday: Vintage Junk Party, 2012
(also on Friday): Unidentified upper and lower jaw pain begins.
Saturday and Sunday and Monday: Unidentified upper and lower jaw pain continues and accelerates through face and head.
Tuesday: Visit to doctor and probable sinus infection diagnosis, myriad asthma and decongesting medications, and prescription for prednisone.
Wednesday: Intestinal distress due to prednisone prescription plus flu-like symptoms.
(also on Wednesday): Collapsed on couch at 6:30pm with fever and chills (don't forget face pain) and instructions to soon-to-be fifteen year-old VJIMT son to care for Little Miss VJIMT.
Awakened 20 minutes later to sound of multiple containers of leftover Chinese takeout falling out of the refrigerator and onto the floor.
And our cats don't eat rice.
Thursday: Dental visit. Endodontist visit. Subsequent root canal surgery.
(also on Thursday): Grocery shopping for son's birthday, preparation of said birthday dinner and baking of birthday cake.
Today: Survived! No Christmas preparations yet, but hey, that's two whole weeks away.
See less stressful Junk Party recaps here (2011) and here and here (2010).
I hope it really was a tooth issue. (Not that I'd want you to have any issue) I'm a dental Hygienist and i see lots of people with the pain you described that this time of year almost always turns out to be sinuses. Especially when you said upper AND lower pain. Please tell me you saw your abcess on an x-ray and you are pain free now! Poor thing! Hoping for the best for you and quick recovery! You are superwoman!

You really deserve an award for managing to pull off all of this in the face (seriously, NO PUN INTENDED) of adversity. You've recovered, I hope?
