the antibiotics MUST have started working a LITTLE bit this morning, cuz i do feel alot better today.

and SO FAR Ive just used like u all said, Motrin and tylenol, along with my suboxone.

I take like 400mg of motrin every 6 hours, thats what the doc told me I could, and I can FOR SURE feel when Its getting close to six hours!!

then been taking two tylenol, like for break thru pains I guess you could say. havent had to take it but a few times. Of course I havent had any teeth pulled YET

but the surgeon said the first 24 hours after my procedure, will be the worst, and I should feel better than I do now after that.
Since I still havent heard from the sub doc, I think Im just gonna GO FOR IT,
and not get anything perscribed, unless of course when I get home thursday, I feel like Im dying or something. my guess is that the benzo is just gonna make me sleepy as shit, and by morning (hopefully) then the 24 hours will almost be gone!!!

I just went to the store and loaded up on smoothies and yogurt, applesauce, that kind of stuff. so I dont have to ‘leave the house’ unless ABSOLUTELY necessary.

Im kinda stressing the NO SMOKING thing , more than the pain now, that its getting closer……… Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

K, just checking in…………….. thank god this swelling went down, thats all I can say. the whole side of my head had been throbbing for FOUR DAYS straight, till this morning. I couldnt even hear outta my ear it hurt so bad.

but like I said, it does feel better today, Id say , im ALMOST in a good mood. Im gonna take before and after pictures, and try to post’m somewhere. If I can borrow someones video camera, and like post some shit on you tube about dental problems and drug use. becuase I know I cant blame it ALL on drugs, but I know its gotta be bout 80%

the dental surgeon also told me this problem is getting more and more serious, in people 20 to my age (30) ……..
he says this will be a huge epidemic in no time at all.
people dont realise what ‘dry mouth’ really means. hell, I just thought it meant stockin up on more mt dew Laughing

so thats it for today. Going to work in the mornin, and working till noon on thursday. gotta be at the office at 130 to take my ‘pill’ he wants me to be there to ‘monitor’ me, just to be on the safe side. Im glad though.

I think I can make it thru this without opiates. my mouth has hurt for a long, long time. at least I’ll be able to feel it getting better this time Very Happy
and If I DO have to call the doc, you can BET my hubby will be in charge.(of the pills) I know myself ALL TOO WELL
I dont want my brain thinking
" hey, its PARTY TIME,,,, AGIAN!!!!!"
no, no , no,
I dont need that.

oh, my son saw his dental surgeon today, my kid just turned 3…….. when his teeth were growing in, I was not concerned with anyone but myself. he was a premie, and he never slept more than 3 hours at one time until WELL after his first birthday…..he was REALLY hard to get off the bottle, and had a sippy cup WAY too long. and of course I used until he was a lil over two yrs old, so I never really ‘looked into the future’
today, that bit me in the ass
on march 9th, hes getting put under general anthesia,
8 fillings total,
two caps on his two front teeth, and one root canal in the back…….. the total is 8 teeth

the dentist also said we probly needed to give him floride when he was a year old, and still now.
thank god he has insurance………my deductable is $300
at least he’ll get it ALL done at once though. and he wont remember anything.
glad his are gettting taken care of, before he’s going thru what I am.
also, I guess genetics plays a part as well. he hit the ‘dental ‘ lottery, didnt he??

have a good nite everybody
