I just had a big, fat molar extracted. Ask me anything. ANYTHING.

[baby_mouse]

ANYTHING AT ALL to get my mind off this obnoxious pain!

A pox on whoever invented nervous systems. POX.

[fizzgig]

1. how was your weekend?

[baby_mouse]

2. Beautiful! Sun sea and sand. Photos in the photography forum in a week or so.

I half built a small stone circle out of pebbles on the grass verge above the beach. I'll go back and finish it in June.

(OW.)

[fizzgig]

3. sounds fantastic

where did you go?

[baby_mouse]

6. Isle of Arran, off the West coast of Scotland.

Much hotter than it usually is at this time of year.

?v=0

That island in the distance is Arran. It's gorgeous in May and pulled out all the stops this year.

[Jamastiene]

4. I cannot resist.

How many teeth do you have left? If it's more than four, you might be ok. If it is four or less, you might have to move down here with me. :evilgrin:

Geez, I've been in GD: P too long today. :rofl:

[baby_mouse]

5. Thirty! Not bad going.

It was one of the big ones in the middle. I really depended on it for chewing. My mouth feels weird.

[pompano]

40. "...Blame it..."

“...all on my tooth...”
“...when I showed up...”
“...un-cooth...”
“...and smiled just like...I don't care”

“...the first one to smile...”
“...the last one to care...”
“...breath like the ass of a bear...”

refrain...

Oh, I've got a tooth...
In two different places...

When I laugh out loud...
I make fuuuuuny faces....

Oh, I got a tooth in
2 different places. -----

I must be bored?

[Ikonoklast]

7. I boughted you a present.

Hope you likes it.

[baby_mouse]

8. OW. why do you hate me?

[JBoy]

9. Here's a better gift:

[baby_mouse]

14. That's much nicer.

Ahhhhhh....slurp.

[Gormy Cuss]

10. Why?

:shrug:

[baby_mouse]

13. Why what? Why did they take out the tooth?

Because I have horrible weak teeth. And, I have to be honest, I am PETRIFIED of dentists and if things go wrong with my teeth I put them off and off and don't deal with them until it's a pain of some sort or another. I'm not usually so silly as to let it get as bad as it did this time, though. This one got seriously decayed and the decay was hidden away down the side of the gum, invisible and trapped between the offending tooth and it's partner, except below the gum line, right down to the bone. I'm amazed I couldn't feel it, but I couldn't, and I couldn't see it until it was WAAAY to late to do anything. It was all soft and punky like a rotten tree root. It looked fine until you looked at the bit hidden between it's back surface and it's neighbour.

Well, you asked. :D

and that last smiley should have a nice big black hole in it's smile!

[Gormy Cuss]

15. You instructed us to ask you anything, baby m...

On your teeth, ouch. I hope the pain subsides soon.

[baby_mouse]

26. thank you, Gormy

It IS getting better... slowly...

[jakefrep]

11. Why didn't they give you any good painkillers?

[baby_mouse]

12. They gave me lots of painkillers. For some reason they don't work very well on me.

Also, there were hideous abscesses at BOTH roots which doesn't help with pain and also it was a fuck-off huge molar with one of those straddling root systems that bulges out and scrapes your gum on the way out and, um, yeah. Ow. It's STILL painful, a bit, more than 24 hours after. The hole's pretty ugly, too.

[Eurobabe]

19. that's where the pain is coming from

those abscesses are nasty, my friend had one. do they have you on antibiotics for that?

do take care, and rinse with salt water, i hear it helps. :hug:

[baby_mouse]

21. Loads of antibiotics!

No germs anywhere near ME, nossir.

Thank you for niceness! :loveya: And you are right, salt HAS helped.

[Deep13]

31. Narcotics aren't working?

If there were abscesses, I suppose you are on penicillin. Once the infection is under control, you should be okay.

Is it a throbbing pain? If so, you may have blood under pressure around there. That happened to me once. Narcotics didn't work, so the dentist told me at night over the phone to dig out the temporary filling. When I did, I little blood shot out (the tooth had been root-canaled) and the pain was gone.

Call the dentist and ask about it.

[baby_mouse]

32. It's okay, its a lot better now. However one of the teeth on the other side of my mouth is screwy,

I don't have a dentist ATM. I went to the local emergency service. I need a dentist!

[bixente]

16. Japan

What does this country mean to you?

[baby_mouse]

22. Eating food with sticks.

This week I will mostly be eating food with STRAWS.

[pamela]

17. Can I have your leftover painkillers when you're done with them?

Well, you said we could ask you anything. :blush:

[baby_mouse]

23. Yeah, but I didnt say I'd say yes!

I don't think there are going to BE any left over painkillers, I'm afraid... :shrug:

[pamela]

29. Oh well, can't blame a girl for trying.

Hope you feel better soon.:hi:

[crimsonblue]

18. What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

[baby_mouse]

25. An African or a European swallow?

[crimsonblue]

28. Huh? I... I don't know that.

[baby_mouse]

38. WHOOSH!

[BreweryYardRat]

20. What kind of ice cream are you eating?

That was the only good part about getting my wisdom teeth pulled. Not exactly the same, but close enough. I got to sit on the couch and eat Ben and Jerry's.

Iced tea supposedly helps with the pain, BTW.

[baby_mouse]

24. World. Of. Pain.

You are, of course, enjoying an amusing laugh at my expense, sir. Ice cream?!?!? I wish. Lukewarm soup is all I can handle. It's a bit humiliating, really.

But there will LOTS of ice-cream when this is all over, hoo hoom yes, THEN they'll see, ha ha...

[Blue Diadem]

27. OHHHH..I feel your pain.

I had one crack badly and had to have it pulled a few days before my son's wedding 1 1/2 yrs ago. The gum is still not filled in completely, dentist said it takes a long time for those large molar openings to completely heal.

I never experienced such awful pain(a root broke when the Dentist pulled and he had to dig..it took almost an hour) and after taking the pain killers for one lousy day, I couldn't take them anymore because they made me see weird stuff everytime I'd close my eyes. I was able to make it through the rehearsal dinner and wedding with the help of a little alcohol.

I hope you feel better soon. Once your infection clears I bet you'll feel better. I agree with the warm salt water rinses..it really does help. Make sure you swish well, to keep any debris from settling into the open area.

[baby_mouse]

39. ARG, your experice sounds even worse than mine!!!

My sympathies!

I'm getting better, truly. Avoiding poking it with tongues and fingers. I've had a few looks (when I'm feeling brave) and it seems to be closing over.

[Deep13]

30. While taking eight Advils is not dangerous for most people...

...I will never violate Federal law by suggesting you take more than the recommeded dose. So, all I can suggest is ice and a normal dose of Advil.

[baby_mouse]

34. What's Advil? Is it like Coproxamol?

I am, like, on a different continent from you, dude.

[Deep13]

35. Ibuprofen

[baby_mouse]

36. Ah HA.

Are you a medical dude? I have stopped taking ibuprofen and moved onto coproxamol...

[Deep13]

37. Nope. That's what the dentist recommends to me.

Except for surgery when he prescribes a narcotic.
