Wow, I pop in for my customary monthly-or-so LJ lookabout and you're falling apart! :-( My hubby went to ER this past summer due to a kidney stone - never saw him in such pain. The morphine barely took the edge off. (Personally, I love the stuff, regardless of whether it kills physical pain, but that's another story.) Is the stone completely gone now?

I do hope you feel better soon. I've only had sinus face pain a couple of times, but found it didn't go away on its own. The best idea is to take prescribed antibacterials for about a week. If you haven't already seen a doctor I highly recommend you do so, and soon. Don't you just feel like you want to pull your cheekbones off?? It's awful.

I'm sorry about the situation with your Mom. *sighs* Parents - mothers especially - seem to get more and more stubborn and bitter as they age. I have no good advice in that situation. Damned if you do; damned if you don't.

I hope it all works out, hon. *snugs*
