Back from Oral Surgeon

I just got home about 1/2 hour ago... And.. I ended up NOT being sedated because it would have cost an extra 300 bucks, for a grand total of almost 700 dollars!!!! For ONE tooth!!

So, the surgeon numbed me up reaaaallllllyyyy well and just pulled it out.. It only hurt for a few seconds right before it let loose, then it was like a HUGE relief when it did, the pain went away immediately. SO.. I'm home, wide awake and HUNGRY, but am afraid to eat.. lol.. I guess there's a little clot that forms in the hole and you have to be careful you don't dislodge it or else you end up with something called "Dry Socket" which I guess can be pretty painful... eek!

After a couple of hours I'm gonna have some chicken broth and maybe some mashed potatoes... OH MAN.. I can't wait!!! LOLOL...

I was really bummed I didn't get to go on a medicinal vacation tho... muahahahaha!!!

LOLOL~~ Bronto Legs!! I'll never forget that one... NEVER EVER again am I going to eat a Turkey leg sold at a drag race again.. even if it is a NHRA event... LOLOLOL... I should have changed my display name to Wilma right then and there...... LOLOL..

You know.. I never thought that my gut might feel better from getting that achey wisdom tooth pulled out.. That would be nice.. But, for now, Im' doing so much better since starting Entocort and resuming the Pentasa.. I ALMOST feel normal today, except for the obvious..hee hee...

Although I did have a bit of excitment just now.. I was lying on the couch, just about to fall asleep, when my husband came running into the house saying that my horses and chickens got out! I guess I didn't fasten the gate securely enough when I fed everyone this morning.. SO... I go flying off the couch, grab a scoop full of chicken scratch and call the chickens back into the horse pasture.. That part wasn't too bad, then I had to catch my 2 horses, which only one was compliant, the other one knew that he was eating fresh green grass and that back in his pasture, most the grass is eaten up, so he was a bit of a butt-head.. but I eventually got them back in and now I'm going to take a WELL deserved nap! LOL... Not in much pain though so far and I'm pretty well over the novacaine, so I think I'm gonna do ok.. woo hoo!!

Oh Susiebuddy,

I went through the same exact thing about two years ago...I felt sooo much better once I had it pulled. I did not get dry socket thank goodness!!! My hubby did get dry socket when he had all of his removed...he was in soooooo much pain.

Hope you r 100% better tomorrow !!!!!

Thanks everyone!!!!!!!

I did get my nap and when I woke up.... OYYYY VEEYYYYY!!! My jaw was SO SORE!! At least the clot is in there and nice and secure so far.. I ate a little bit of mashed potatoes, took my evening pentasa and then had some Jello.. I took 3 extra strength tylenol and that has seemed to kick the pain level back down to almost zero.. so I'm happy again... hehehehe... Now I'm in bed watching America's Funniest Home Videos and gonna watch a movie after that...

I'm so glad it's over.. I've been fretting about this wisdom tooth for a couple of months, putting it off because I am so afraid of the dentist.. But this guy was AWESOME... kept me laughing the entire time, and very very professional.... except for the jokes which I didn't mind one bit... LOL...

Nice all has worked out regarding the chickens and horses.....hope it wasn't into the "friend's" yard across the road.

I didn't realise about dry socket...sounds awful. Hope you heal smoothly.

Take it easy for the next few days.

Amazing how betrayal is so destructive. I truly understand where you are with her, and anger will lead to the next phase. The true acceptance will be when you can say hi and wave to her and feel you did it to be neighbourly rather than anything else. That's personal power.

Hope the day has you feeling much better.
