Painful Past Couple of Days
Okay so I am in a lot of pain. I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out on Tuesday. Oh, my, gosh the pain. Tuesday was wretched. My teeth wouldnt stop bleeding for 7 hours (I hate blood so I was REALLY stressed out) and I had to keep bitting on gauze which was supposed to be positioned back where my teeth are. Well every time I put it in I went into tears because it hurt so bad to open my mouth. Then of course you are supposed to not eat anything past midnight of the day of the surgery. I didnt have anything past 10pm. Since I couldnt open my mouth, i could eat anything at all - all. day. Plus you need to have food in your stomach to take he pain killers (originally vicoden, now percocet) other wise you will get really sick. Well I couldnt eat anything so I got an insanely bad migraine, which was only aggrevated by the sun on the ride home and the car ride and the lack of food. Got home, passed out on my bed for 4 hours. Tried eatting something but everything made me nauseous even water. Ended up throwing up everything I tried to eat in the end. Thank God for Alex's mom, who is a nurse, cuz she recommended saltines soaked in tea and de-fizzed pepsi. I was able to keep that down and have been living on it.
Wednesday was better. I was able to open my mouth to a point to get some food in so I could keep myself medicated on vicoden. Of course this stuff makes me sleepy so when I took one about 5pm, come 6pm when I need to leave if I want to go to youth group, I wasnt feeling so up to driving. I called Seth and left him a message asking if he could come get me for youth group but he didnt return my phone call...that didnt make me very happy. I wanted to go so bad cuz it was the last revolution extreme I would be able to go to but come 6:15 when I normally leave, I was passed out again. Managed to get myself up to my bed and fell asleep till 8:30. There was no way I woulda been okay to drive.
Today will be interesting. I have to coordinate taking the pills at the right time in order to get myself to work. Why does my mouth HAVE to hurt worse right now? I cant sleep (its 5am) so I took another pill. Hopefully it will kick in soon because my mouth hurts so bad I want to cry.
