So all is fine and the dentist says I am healing up well. He says that the pain I am feeling was probably caused by the additional jaw movement caused by having to talk while being at work etcetera. That would add to the inflammation and the pain. So I am relaxing for the rest of the day and not going to answer my phone. Will text and email and do updates. I will go back to work tomorrow and try to be more low key and keep to myself but it is hard to work and not talk so not much I can do there.

Anyhoo. I thought I would update. I can also eat semi-soft food now and he says I can eat regular food next week. Yays! All is well and the extraction site is healing nicely.

Cheers!

It still hurts and it hurts to laugh but I laughed today so that is good I guess. I have to laugh carefully, I suppose but that does not really work. Still recovering here today but I had a nice day and got out some. I had brisket and mashed potatoes for lunch and dessert (cheese cake and SF silk pie). I also bought bling rings and a nice silver bracelet. I am really exhausted from going out so I think I am still recovering. I think this wisdom tooth stuff is harder to get over when you are older. If I was in my 20s, this might be easier or a teenager, but I am a middle aged person and this is ugh. The pain is less by a factor and the wound area itches some so that tells me it is healing. So I just have to recover.

Anyhoo. Weekend, yays! Hope you all had a good week and have some fun plans for the weekend. I don't know what I am doing yet.

Cheers!

After the last stunt I pulled on the flist, I thought it appropriate that I truly vent my spleen here in truly ranty pants fashion. This thought occurred to me as I left the store, having bought those nice crunchy cheese puffs that I could not eat. Why did I buy those? Was I going to try and eat those? Was it wishful thinking that I would be better tomorrow when I know I won't be?

Even my friends have deserted me because I am too irritable. The pain is wearing and tiring, the soft food and the lack of protein. I am moody, mcmoody and tired of this wisdom tooth stuff. I want to crunch and bite my food - I want a burger and chips or something good! I want I want I want - I am Henderson the Rain King - points if you get the reference!

That repost thing did not help either. I want everyone to know that I tried to delete that post but can't, ok? It will be on our flists forever unless LJ will do something. I have submitted a ticket to them and will see where it goes but am aggravated that the "delete repost" thing is a LIE. No funciona! Typical LJ b*llsh*t. They cannot even get that right. Anyways. It will be there forever and we just have to live with it. Sorry! LJ answered my ticket and after some maneuvering I was able to delete the repost from the flist. Some people could see that it was a repost from me, clearly on there in the repost but I deleted the post and will post the link on my journal or another one by her. Anyhoo. That is done!

So the oral surgeon said 4-7 days and I do believe she meant it. I wake up in serious pain every day. I really thought I would bounce back by now and be enjoying some time off by now but no. This is serious business this wisdom tooth thing. UGH.

It looks like I will spend the 4th of July doing nothing because I will not subject my friends to me in this state. They deserve a good time and that means spending time without me. I am dead serious about that. I do not want to be the one dragging everyone down. So I will sit here and sulk!

Sulk

Anyhoo. It was the cheese puffs that done me in. Why did I buy them? Oh Why?

end rant and you can move along. I hope you got a kick out of this. I do feel a little bit better. :)

I really thought I did not have any wisdom teeth but I was at the dentist getting my root canal finished (that went fine, thanks) and the dentist says - "Well, that is a surprise, look at that!" as he looks at the xray during the procedure. There on the xray was my impacted wisdom tooth, under the gum line. It is going to wreck my teeth if I don't have it removed. Gah, I say. Gah. Expensive little bugger or big bugger. I wish this had happened when I was younger and my parents would have had to pay for this one. I have to have a bone graft with it which is not covered on my insurance. This is going to cost me some money.

Oh wells. I am on vicodin right now so my 100 things posting is suspended for now. I will get back to that. I have some things to post about but my mind is muddled from the drugs. :P. Nice drugs that make me loopey doopey. Weee.

Anyhoo. That is my tale of woe. Whoa. Or however you spell that.

Look at the cool tag I just made. Love this one! Soon to be offered at a graphics comm near you!

So I had a root canal today and it totally sucked. Well they do, don't they? But my new dentist IS Dr. Dreamy. He is this gorgeous Persian dude. Oh la la. Pretty and fine, pretty fine. I see me going to the dentist for sure. Now that I am more "motivated". Yep.

He he he. And no, I did not take that Vicodin. I should though. I am in a bit of pain. And lord, I am hungry but I am waiting for the shot to wear off.

Anyhoo.

Today's little bit of happiness is:

A well heated apartment on a cold and stormy night. Cozily in my jammies and hanging around.

Dental issue is resolved. I have a serious infection which is now being treated by a round of antibiotics and I had surgery today. That is about all I feel up to saying. I got excellent care and the surgeon had a great sense of humor. A real laugh.

All set here. Thank you for the lovely comments. I am recuperating here at home. It was stressful but done with for now.

A late breaking picture today. I have been doing this and that. Stuff. I like this photographer and so searched their site for something suitable for our tastes. This is a Greg Gorman photo and the subject is Michael Dean. Our buns are in shadow but there...focus and you will see them. :P

*NOT SAFE FOR WORK*

( Greg Gorman shot... )

In other news...I am having dental issues. I don't feel like sharing but it has me down. I could not get into the dentist on Friday as they were not there. I want that gig. Fridays off. I have to get in as soon as I can and have to eat carefully. Has me worried and I hope it will resolve before I head off to New Hampshire next weekend. I am sure it will cost me loads of money. These things always do. *sigh* Ak.

I have been busy on graphics. Made lots this weekend and catching up on some management things for some communities. These things do take time. Once it is done, it is easier to catch up though so that is good.

Today I need to finish my Crimmas cards (had to buy some more) and do a little food shopping. So I will go do that.

It is cold and rainy here in the Bay Area. I have the heaters on here and fleecy things to keep me warm. It is a warm liquid day.

Hope you all are well and prepping for the holidays. Oh last thing. I went to the movies yesterday with the gang from work. We saw Cadillac Records and it was a really good movie. Great music, gritty and Beyonce was beyond good. She sang amazingly well and the girl can act. I was quite impressed with her. So that is one to see. Highly recommend.

Cheers.

My bit of happiness today was: Homemade, homecooked breakfast made by myself. Very tasty. Cheesy goodness on those eggs and fresh OJ. Yummers. (3)

Happy Sunday all.

So I had the thing. Well half of the thing really. They only got part way done and I have to go back for the rest of it on Thursday. I have to get more shots, more drilling, more smell of grinding teeth. More YUCK!!!

I cannot frigging believe this. At least I got a scrip for vicodin out of the dealio. It may be worse than I anticipated. Stay tuned for more news.

I am going to take a pill and watch Lucy melt into the sky.
