I'm still on antibiotics, still swollen but not in pain. So I decided to run 12 miles yesterday to see if I could do it and to resolve the voice in my head that suggests I can't run a half marathon after having oral surgery. I ran ten miles then walked the last two because my legs started hurting.

Tomorrow at 8 am I go under anasthesia at the oral surgeon's office to have the infection cleared in my tooth. Optimistically I hope to be up and at 'em on Tuesday, but who knows? I haven't been put to sleep since my appendectomy in 1987.
