  • I got four out - they put me under general anesthesia, I woke up sitting in the window sill (!) of the doctor's office. Apparently they'd woken me up about 10 times.

    I used one codeine that night, tylenol the morning, nothing after that. After all the "oh God it was so awful" statments from my friends, I was pleasantly surprised. :-p

    The doc was actually more worried about the effect the anesthesia had on my body (I weigh ~100 lbs - huge does for me) than the surgery, heh.
    • I got four out - they put me under general anesthesia

      I was given that option. It was either that or twice 2 teeth in local anesthetic. In November the two others are going out.

      It doesn't hurt that much to be honest. The anesthetic has gone away now, and I just took my medication. That codeine stuff is good ;-) I feel some pain, as if someone was pressuring on my jaw all the time. However I feel that I have a hard time concentrating on stuff (you wouldn't know how many typos I made in this post)

      • The threads are annoying though.

        a VERY IMPORTANT note about your stitches. If your stitches pull out, or for some other reason start to bleed significantly, do the following:

        take a regular (as in pekoe - decaf pekoe would be okay too) tea bag, preferably one without a staple, remove the string from it, moisten it with water, then stick it in your cheek next to the bleeding gum - or between your upper and lower gums.

        After waking up to a pillow covering a foot-wide blood stain, it took me four hours, two
        • Thats what I needed, DEMEROL. That crappy hydrocodone crap is useless... its like taking aspirin. Once the local wore off I didn't even bother taking my pills... I just bitched a lot (* a surprisingly effective treatment!)
          • I just bitched a lot (* a surprisingly effective treatment!)

            Hehe...I'll just do both ;-) Bitch and drug myself...

          • When I was in labor, scared half to death, the nurse was in my face claiming that it couldn't be hurting that bad. The doctor over-hears her from out in the hall, walks in and relieves her of her duties for the REST of the evening (he was really pissed at her) and looks at me and asks, "How about something for that pain?" At this point, I'm begging for it. 5 minutes later, another nurse walks in, grabs my IV bag and shoots a big fatty hefty dose of "Demerol". OMG!!! All I can remember is my doctor walking b
        • I got a whole checklist from the doctor what to do when what happens. In that checklist they just say to use a compress, which is essentially what a tea-bag is ;-) The tannin might help better of course.

          Luckily I am not tempted to play with the threads with my tongue. I know it's bad, so as long as I'm awake there is no risk at all. I however do no know what I might do in my sleep. I'm sleeping over at my parents tonight. Mom's a nurse, so it's good to have her around in such circumstances.

          I have

      • I hated going to the dentist long before that, though

        My advice: take a female dentist with pretty eyes. I don't mind going to mine :-P Usually I have no caries, so no big deal, I just get the complete cleaning (all paid for by social security).

        This was not my regular dentist (only a "stomatologue" may do this kind of operations, not a regular dentist), but I have to say that his assistant was really cute and had pretty brown eyes.

        • I have to say that his assistant was really cute and had pretty brown eyes.

          All right! Did you kiss her?

          Just make up some story about the anesthetic, and well, you couldn't help it. "But you haven't had any anesthetic sir." "Umm...I must have been entranced by your beauty."

          • All right! Did you kiss her?

            Of course not! Do I look like a womanizer? I'm the quiet shy geek, remember? ;-)

            "But you haven't had any anesthetic sir." "Umm...I must have been entranced by your beauty."

            Fuck! Why don't I *ever* come up with lines like that?

            • Why don't I *ever* come up with lines like that?

              Well, I doubt I would've come up with it on the spot. Probably would've come out "I'm horny. Hey love, take off your pants, I want to try something." ;-)

              If you're shy, why not get your sister to help? Maybe you can have her call the woman up and say something like: "My brother keeps talking about you, but is too shy to ask you out. Would you go on a date with him so I don't have to hear about you every five minutes." ...may work, but you might sound too d

              • My sister help? Hehehe, I think she would laugh her ass off. Besides, I didn't say I had a crush on her. She just looked cute, that's all. Heck, I commute with the bus to work and you wouldn't believe how many cute girls take public transportation.
                I'm 27, I don't play games anymore. That, I should have done while in highschool/university. I never did though. My biggest mistake in my life and the reason I probably never get along with women well, except for "he's a nice friend". (I hate that line...

                • My sister help? Hehehe, I think she would laugh her ass off.

                  She wouldn't help you? You made her a computer, it's the least she should do. ;-) Actually I'm kind of jealous. You seem to have a good relationship with your sister.

                  I don't play games anymore.

                  Yeah, it's stupid. I just suggest stuff like that because I don't now what else to do.

                  My biggest mistake in my life and the reason I probably never get along with women well, except for "he's a nice friend". (I hate that line... *sigh*)

                  Are you sayin

                  • She wouldn't help you?

                    Not on this no. It's understandable... You can't expect your sister to organize a girl for you.

                    You seem to have a good relationship with your sister.

                    Oh, you noticed that? Now, that's strange, I've never ever talked about her *cough*. Of course, we have. Just as I have an excellent relation with my father and with my mother. Don't forget that the only thing I have here is my family, that makes bonds much stronger. She's my little sister, and I do everything for her. S

                • "he's a nice friend". (I hate that line... *sigh*)

                  those words are the bane of every man.
  • In my gas induced haze I ended up punching a nurse in the nose and breaking it. As if that's not bad enough, I'm told that I thought she was my mother. That's probably about the worst I've ever felt. I had my dad drive me up there the next day so I could apologize, and she was real nice about it (strangely enough said "it happens all the time" which I just don't believe).
  • You just reminded me. I was scheduled to have them out in June, but the insurance was giving me hassles, so I cancelled the appointment until I could get it straightened out. I figured the insurance out in August, and I've been trying to forget that I need to have them out some time soon.

    So thanks. Now I don't have an excuse.

    BTW, hope you have a good few days off, even amidst the drugs...
    • Thank you for using "jawtheshark reminder service". We wish you a nice wisdom-teeth removal. ;-)

      BTW, hope you have a good few days off, even amidst the drugs...

      Drugs and some days off? Sounds like party time to me ;-)
