the not in pain much update.

[lyssie]

Tooth: they did another root canal, and it drained quite a bit. They also found that one of four canals wasn't filled (I'm betting that's why I had cold/hot problems). So. Packed it with stuff to kill germs, then put in a temp filling.

And then they drained the abscess on my gum. Which was nice, if it seems to not have done much, since it's filled back up again. (note: and the draining is probably part of why it hurt)

Sigh. But unfortunately, all that work aggravated the tissues and by the time they were filling it, I could feel everything they were doing.

I honestly don't think they realized how much pain I was in--I'm not sure I did, either, until I was trying to drive home. I don't actually remember making an appointment for the two-week thing, though I know I did. I only sort of remember driving like a crazy woman, because I couldn't stop until I got home. Because home was where the hydrocodone was.

Called in, left what was probably a very incoherent message on my boss's machine, took drugs, then sat in front of the tv trying to out-last the pain. (ice pack on my cheek helped a little. It was at least distracting).

Watched part of an episode of Homicide that I've seen before, and discovered that the episode of BW I'd dvr'd before Reactor was an episode of SG-1. Now. I like SG-1, but I've seen most of season nine, and I wanted BW.

Drugs started kicking in and I staggered off to bed, where my neck complained about sleeping on my left side, I mostly ignored it, and I had lots of wacky dreams (again). sigh. Well, it IS a narcotic.

I think I shall take some more ibuprofen and buy some soup. Eating might be an idea. Not that I can chew.

Dentist drugs are the worst. Hands down.

I've been following these posts and wishing you better luck soon.

I think I'm building up more and more of a resistance to them, which is sad, given that I still have more work to do. sigh.

Thank you. I need to write a post that isn't about my teeth soon.

Do you like smoothies? When I had my wisdom teeth out, I stuck banana, frozen berries, and soy milk in a blender and drank that in lieu of actual meals. It's reasonably healthy and the protein in the soy milk kept me from getting hungry again fifteen minutes later.

Sadly, I'm not fond of most types. But I have soup and mushy pasta. Mmm. Mush. Thank you, though. I may end up making something similar, before the week is out.

Ouch.

I hope you feel better soon.

Oh hon. :(

If I was there I would totally MAKE you some soup. I make good soup. Yus.

I would love some Ryss-made-soup. *sads* *snuggles*

I stubbed my toe and amputated one of my toenails yesterday, doesn't even rate.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but that's still painful.

[morwen_peredhil]

Oh, yowch! I hope you feel better soon.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Me, too.

I wanna say I can totally sympathize with the pain and the not chewing, after my recent widsom tooth surgery, but I don't think I experienced anything as bad as you did. So I won't. I'll just say--that sucks, dear.

But soup is good. So are mashed potatoes and pudding. And narcotics are FANTASTIC. As you well know by this point. Enjoy the hell out of the oblivion.

I hope the proceedures today will put you on the road to being better very very soon.

Yeah, but the wisdom teeth thing is pretty similar.

Mac and cheese is also good. *happy*

Me, too. Thank you. =)

Oh dear. You really haven't had much luck with your teeth, have you?

Hope you feel better soon and that there are no more problems.
