I had the absolute worst dentist visit yesterday. I went in because I had a hole in my tooth. I expected a filling or a cap. Instead I got oral surgery right there in the office...awake. I have been reduced to taking pain pills and licking oatmeal from a spoon for nourishment

((((((((((((((Scarlett)))))))))))))))


Poor you sweetie.

That is awful Scarlett.... not just the oatmeal part but the dentist too!






The pain pills part sounds ok

Ahhh smoothies sound great, but I was told not to drink from a straw for a week. The pain pills aren't strong enough to knock me out either
Your sympathy is making me feel better already. I just needed a pity party Thank you Lilith, Aqua, Loulabelle and Randygal. :heart:
Skip-

I feel your pain, Scarlett! Ouch!!! Why didn't they put you under?

I sorta chuckled at the 'licking a spoon for nourishment' line. Is that wrong?

I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled at one time, dry sockets.......... oh the pain...... I tried just about everything to dull it, my pain pills didn't work either. What I did do was go to the pharmacy and purchased some cough syrup w/codeine (you have to ask the pharmasyst for it, and you don't need a prescription for it in my state) in it and took a few spoonfulls and held that in my mouth... that helped tremendously!!!

Steph, they didn't even think of putting me under, I guess. he gave me 4 shots in my gums and 1 in the roof of my mouth. That one was the worst.
I meant for the spoon licking to be funny At least you just chuckled, my Mom laughed out loud.
I am deathly afraid of dry socket! I am obeying all commands to keep from getting it. I already have some Tylenol with codeine. I will keep your suggestion in mind Cheyanne, in case it all gets worse.

I actually did laugh out loud, I just didn't want to sound mean if you were serious

UGH! Dry sockets!!!!!!! Cheyanne, the horror!

I looked up dry socket and now it makes more sense to me. I never really knew what it was. I am doing all I can to avoid it. From what I understand it usually happens on the third day, so if I make it through tomorrow, I should be safe.
I can actually eat a little today. I just had mac n cheese and it seemed like a gourmet meal to me
The upside: I am losing weight.

Dry socket? Arrgggggggg! A soaked tea bag (not hot) sitting on the hole left after removal might curtail the onset.......just don't talk much for the first few days. Keep the tea bag very moist and hope for the best as dry socket seems to happen no matter how well you care for the open space.

*hands Scarlett some Lipton™ tea bags and some vicodin* Have some pain pills left over from my last visit to docs for my monthly.......oh never mind.....just had some left over and they are pretty good! Want some Jello™ too?
