Pain round 2

[little_annabeth]

Ok this is the second round of tooth pain. I had the second round of dental surgery today. I can't talk. It hurts so bad this time. The did things on both sides and i have no "good side" to eat on. It is really painful. I am crying as i right this. Sorry for the pity party, but if anyone wants to talk to me in the next two days I might not answer.

Sorry dear. That blows ass. Take your pain medicine, and lay down. If you have the option to lay more than sit, do it. It'll equalize the blood flow in your body, keeping more of it around your head, which will help the healing process. Also, do something if you can while you lay down. Try watching a movie or television. Reading may be too hard if you can't focus. However, sitting in a quiet room won't give you anything to distract yourself from focusing on the pain.

Unfortunately, that's the best advice I can give. Good luck healing quickly!

I'm no dentist, but I'd bet the opposite. The wound should heal fine given time, and you've got good BP, so it's unlikely that more blood = more better. I'd bet that sitting up partially relieves that "pulsating throbbing" that comes with each heart beat.

Oh, and yes...go pills. I love pills. Take your pills. The yellow ones keep you from screamin!

I defer to the doctor on this one. But that's what my oral surgeon told me... Something along those lines anyway.

Of course, I didn't know the oral surgeon that well, so he could have been blowing smoke up my ass. Or, I just may have misunderstood. I mean, it *kinda* made sense at the time. Plus, I was on drugs. :)

Like I said, I'm not a dentist. You could totally be right on this one. Perhaps Meg will be able to tell us which position is better. But I think we can both agree...We love drugs.

Go Drugs! Win that war!

Poor Meg!

That sucks! Hug up to Poohbear and try not to.. do things.. that hurt. I'm not so helpful, but you're on my mind anyway hon. Text me if you need anything.

Poor dear. Crossing my fingers for you to heal fast.

Mashed Potatoes and gravy was pretty much my savory godsend when I had my jaws cut into.

Here's hoping the meds do the task while you're on the mend.

Feel better.

Best advice so far. Listen to the man.
