Why doesn't the tooth fairy bring ME money? :)

I finally got a tooth that's been bothering me pulled. The abcess under it was so big that they were considering putting in a drain for it (which they didn't do - thank God), but I am on antibiotics, again! I have Crohns Disease, and I take auto-immune suppressants to keep me in remission. The bad side of this is that I get infections easy. My jaw hurts, where they gave me the shot. The place where the tooth was doesn't hurt at all, but I can barely open my mouth. Plus, I don't know if it's the stress, or what, but I'm having some mean crohns cramps.
On the bright side - my son's first birthday is tomorrow. Or maybe that's not the bright side. My baby is turning one! This is the last one I can have, cause of the crohns. No more for me, and he's turning 1! Plus, I've got a whole bunch of my in laws coming over to be snooty to me. (To be honest not all of them are snooty, just a few.) Oh, well. I mostly just wanted to get on and complain. I feel better now. Thanks for listening (sorta).

...take probiotics (ask the GI how much) so the antibiotics don't cause a flare or C-diff or anything. (Unless it's Flagyl, I guess.) IBD seems to be contagious throughout the TNH website for some reason.

Which tooth was it?

Happy birthday DS!
