Ev, Yes tooth all resolved now. Extraction was quick and easy, no slicing, no dicing, just a twist and a yank (or three). Got the three-wide crown a couple of days later and all is well (for now). I just have to stay away from corn on the cob and gnarly apples. Must carry a knife to shred the corn and slice the apples is all.
Getting ready to hang some new wires. The 80-10 EFHW came down a while ago the branches have gotten more invasive so working up a couple of shorter versions. One a 40-10 end-fed the other a loaded (no trap) dipole for 80M/40M. We’ll see how they play, hopefully before year’s end. Then I’m going to sneak a 53 footer out of my ‘office’ window so I can play with the KX2 when I get bored (or should be doing my “work for no pay” tasks)!
Have happy holidays all, stay safe and healthy.

Something about teeth this year.

After two plus weeks of ear and and swelling in my neck area, I went to urgent care and got a ten day course of heavy duty antibiotics. At day six I was no better and came to believe it was some kind of dental issue.
Yesterday I found a dentist who would take me as a walk in.? After extensive “new patient” work up and pictures I met with the doc.? I learned he couldn’t deal with a dead tooth until the swelling was reduced.
He referred me to Newberg Hospital ER for “IV Antibiotic Evaluation.” ?Arriving at noon, I was seen within 30 minutes by the ER Nurse Registrar. Seated again for two hours, called into the inner bowels of the ER, saw an NP, then another doc. Yes, I needed IV Antibiotics. However, he thought something else might be involved and ordered a CT Scan…done an hour and a half later. Scan showed a large abscess right next to my windpipe. Decision was to deal with it on Tuesday, until the surgeon saw the image. He said emergency…must do it tonight.
i had successful surgery at 8 pm and was admitted.? Today has been more antibiotics and a clear liquid “diet” until the tooth can be dealt with - root canal by specialist surgeon- on Monday. Then Thursday I’ll see the ent surgeon in his office for drain removal. I’m here again tonight, more IV antibiotics, hope to go home around 7 tomorrow night.
Lots of unplanned fun…and missed the Ten Meter Contest with the W7TVC group. They and nearly 700 contacts, 95% CW. Propagation okay, but not as hot as it has been.

Well Ev, you are a lucky guy to have the "event" at home. Had you been on church travel or a DXpedition you may have become a silent key. Nancy said that if the abscess had broken and the infection gotten into your blood stream it could have been fatal. Sure glad that the doc caught the problem, and jumped on the needed surgery.?
Mac is right, as we age we need to be more attentive to medical issues, including dental care.?
