I've got an appointment this afternoon. So far away. Raaargh.

It's not so bad. And it's fixable. And it really didn't hurt till this stuff started.

That... sucks. Call them and ask them if there's anythign you can do in the meantime. Other than continue flushing it out with that syringe thing they gave you.

They didn't give me a syringe. I think that may be given to me today.

um... no WONDER you feel like shit then!

Haha, yes. Apparently this is all quite normal. I think they meant to give me one when I left, but in the brouhaha of a totally confused and hyperventilating Nikki, it was forgotten. It has been rectified. :D

Yikes... I got lucky not to have the dry socket when I got mine out. Here was my routine after I got mine pulled:

-Tie ice packs to head
-Stuff cotton balls into mouth (first day or two)
-Sit at computer
-Drink banana milkshakes without straw
-Nap
-Repeat

I ended up briefly losing ten pounds, which I assume is what happens when one only consumes banana milkshakes for several days on end.

I hope you get to see your oral surgeon... I've heard those dry sockets are the worst. -hugs- Best of luck, dear.

Mom thinks I tried to do too much too soon. I mean, at the time, I felt fine. Fucking Vicodin making me feel invincible.
