Born in Circa 291 AD to a Roman family. Became a Christian early in life. Said to be very beautiful, had many suitors. Turned them all down, said Christ was her spouse. Grassed up to the authorities age 13 for being a Christian. Condemned and forced in to a brothel. She was so steadfast no man could touch her. Condemned to public execution in a stadium. They tried to burn her, but the flames wouldn't touch her, so in one account she was beheaded, in another, stabbed through the throat. She is said to have gone to her execution more cheerfully than most people go to a wedding. Patron saint of girls, young women, and rape survivors. Ladies and gentlemen, St Agnes of Rome...  |

Not sure I will make St Agnes Mass this evening. Really hope I can. I will if possible.
Had a rotten tooth go full abscess Sunday night... Agony, and face swollen up with poison like half a tennis ball ☹️
Couldn't get emergency appointment at local dentist yesterday. Rang NHS helpline, they got me an appointment elsewhere at 10 o'clock this morning. Had to sit it out for another 24 hours.
Depends what they have to do... If they have to yank the rotten tooth out of my head, and drain the poison out of face, I'll be in no condition to celebrate Mass this evening.
Might be a case of a course of antibiotics to kill the infection before they can touch it. In which case, I'll still be swollen and in pain tonight, but able to go to Mass... Fingers crossed either way.
Wish me luck 🍀

My royal ancestor was named Agnes as she was born in late January at this feast time. Her mother was Polish Catholic and her father protestant German.

My royal ancestor was named Agnes as she was born in late January at this feast time. Her mother was Polish Catholic and her father protestant German. I was given the middle name of a saint, who upon being beheaded for his faith, is said to have picked up his head, and walked several miles carrying it, preaching a sermon of repentance all the way. |

Fingers crossed either way. Wish me luck 🍀 Update on my gob. Rotten tooth will need to come out at a later date, but can't do it now, the infection is too big and severe. 5 days of antibiotics to kill and get rid of the infection, and 3 days of codeine for the pain if I need it. Can enjoy a drink with the antibiotics, but not the codeine pharmacist says... So I'll ride it out until this evening, then see which I need more, pain relief, or wine 😉 Off home now, lie on sofa with me dogs, feel sorry for mesen and whimper occassionally, and watch some films. |

And if you do that, you may not need the pain pills!  Take care and feel better!

A double dose up front can really help; I get cellulitis in my arm from time to time, and I carry antibiotics with me in case I am scratched or bitten, so I can start asap and avoid the infection. I'm so sorry you haven't gotten any relief yet; if it's still like this come morning, you need to call the doc. Seriously. You may need to be on another antibiotic.

I'll give it a bit more time to kick in. If relief doesn't come by this time tomorrow morning, I'm getting the bus to the emergency dental clinic sign up at the hospital. That's where the real specialists are. I would have gone this morning, but they would no doubt say I hadn't given the antibiotics time yet (less than 24 hours. The chemist did say 24-48 hours for them to kick in). Hitting the codeine today. |

I get migraines, and sometimes the only thing that will stop it is hydrocodone. My doctor told me not to be afraid to use it. It feels like my head is exploding. Take care, sending healing thoughts your way...

I will also pray for the intercession of St Apollonia 🙏 Feel free to offer a quick prayer for her intercession on my behalf today sisters and brothers... I don't like praying for myself very much, but I think in this case of severe pain, anxiety, and fear, it's understandable. |

She had it worse than any of us... the stuff of nightmares 😰 Hopefully, with her intercession and the antibiotics, the pain, and gum and facial swelling will subside in the next 24 hours, and I won't be trekking to the hospital at 6:30 AM tomorrow morning, fretting about what they'll do to me. You probably know from your migraines, it's so bad, it's near impossible to think or focus on anything else at all. |

I hope ( and not pray...no offence) that you pain and suffering is soon ameliorated with the antibiotics and take as much codeine and prunes that you need. NO-ONE should have to suffer excruciating pain in this day and age.
