One week ago, I started getting this pain in the back of my mouth. It was really irritating and only really affected me when I ate, coughed or sneezed. On Thursday, it started hurting really bad and I couldn't eat at all. So I missed work on Friday and went to see the dentist. Turns out that my wisdom tooth was coming through and it was infected. Food had been getting stuck down in the side of my tooth and causing it to be infected. They decided my best option would be to have it surgically removed right then. I had the nitrous stuff on my nose to help me relax and they then cut my tooth out. It was a pretty simple procedure but they sent me home with 2 pain pills and a pill to help with upset stomach because the side effects of pain pills are horrible.
After basically sleeping through 2 days of my life, last night it started to hurt really bad. I thought maybe I forgot to take my pills, so I took my pills and went to sleep. This morning I woke up in tears and immediately called my dentist. I am in excruciating pain. I went to the dentist today and was told that not only do I have a DRY SOCKET, I also have tissue trauma from where I bit my incision when it was numb. So now I have a week more of pain pills and a note to miss class and work until Wednesday.
I would much rather be at work and class than have a throbbing, sore, painful wound in my mouth.
HAPPY MONDAY!
I love how you sarcastically ended it with the "happy Monday" comment. Lol.
ReplyDeleteSorry about all of that. Sounds bad, but at least you got to spend some time at home with your parents, right?
That sounds brutal. My wisdom teeth hurt while they were coming in, but after they were removed the meds made my recovery virtually painless.
