Okay, that HURT!

[Misanthropical]

The reason I'm not at work tonight is because I had some dental surgery done today. I have three stitches in my gums right now.

The most painful part of it all was getting the Novocain injected. Anyway, I left looking like I had got punched in the jaw on that side. No one stared till I got to the pharmacy for the pain meds. So, thanks for making me feel even more like a freak, pharmacy lady!

I get home and the Novocain wore off. OUCHY! Luckily, I have ice packs and medication or I would be ripping into people.

Still, it was better than having to go to the meeting that BossMan scheduled for tonight! :lol:

Ouchie! That sucks. You completely have my sympathy! Having teeth out hurts like hell, though the needles are sucky they are worth it not to feel the tooth being pulled!

I tried to keep my eyes closed when the dentist was working in my mouth. I didn't want to see the scary stuff. Yes, I'm a big baby when it comes to the dentist.

My sweet husband bought me a Wendy's chocolate frosty to help with the pain, he is so sweet!

Chocolate frosty, mmm.... I want one right now. I have a bad ice cream craving.

What kind of pain meds they give you? I got good 'ol Percocet with my last dental surgery 7 years ago. woo hoo!!!!! http://bestsmileys.com/movingeyes/1.gif

The dentist (not my regular dentist) only gave me Ibuprofen. I was hoping for the good stuff, but it's okay, since I still have Vicodin that my regular dentist gave me a couple of weeks ago for the pain I was in.

When I had my root canal 4 years ago, the needle for the Novacaine felt like a big pinch (compared to the horrible pain I felt prior to coming in), but the numbing it had on my pain was greeeeeat. Except for the constant drooling. I closed my eyes throughout the entire procedure and my dentist and his assistant were shocked that I didn't freak out about it like most do. I did that to spare myself from seeing all the scary tools :eek: At least you have plenty of pain meds on hand to help. No narcotics for me, but at least I was able to take my beloved Aleve (Ibuprofen doesn't work on me). Feel better, Mis.
