OptomisticGirl Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 They do shots in the mouth, yeah. It sucks, not going to sugarcoat it. I’m resistant to numbing meds too, so it’s always a dozen shots. Some of the shots aren’t so bad, but in the roof of the mouth....no. Not okay. Yikes. :s Can't they just knock me out?? lol. God. If those shots are ANYTHING like the ones today sweet geez.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrose85 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I dunno. Dentists are always reluctant to do that I’m sorry, I should have sugarcoated it seeing as you just went through toe hell today. It’s not fun, but then you’re numb, they do their thing, and you get to go home and enjoy numb face for awhile. LOL one time after I was numbed, Alex and I went for pho after... big mistake. I was a drooling, dripping mess with broth all down my shirt. He was mortified LOLOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 lol, a little surgar coating today wouldn't have hurt. God, not looking forward to that now but it needs to be done, the tooth is dead because it's the one I cracked when I was in marching band (all my injuries stem from marching band, ha).

I left the dentist after having some fillings a few years ago..and was STARVING so I stopped by subway for a sandwich not even thinking about my mouth being numb..all of the sudden after ravenously starting to eat in the car..I see blood all over my hands and sandwich..I had been chewing my lips and tongue while chewing my food. -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a drooling, dripping mess with broth all down my shirt. He was mortified LOLOL Haha! I remember going into work right after having a filling and having my mouth numbed. They used too much and I couldn't move one side of my mouth so when someone commented on my droopy face and laughed I couldn't help but laugh with them. Only it was a weird lopsided laugh with one side of my mouth turned down like I'd had a stroke! Hehe! My colleague was killing herself laughing.

OptomisticGirl Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 I don't have my flute. L's ex fiance actually played the flute as well, ha. I'd love a cheap little one. I still remember the B flat scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 I just woke up from about a 2 1/2 hour nap. I thought I would never fall asleep! I was kind of tired so I propped my foot up on some pillows to get it over my heart to see if that would help with the pounding and it just took me forever to nod off. When I finally did I kept waking up and feeling groggy and hazy. I remmeber waking up one time just as mom was putting my foot back up to be elevated (becuase I sleep like a freaking fish out of water) but then I quickly dropped off again. And then I had a dream I was wrestling with this giant sea turtle... yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrose85 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Now that is an awesome dream! Napping will help your body fight off infection, so sleep away I had a dream the other night that Alex and I were putting a vegetable garden together. His response “you have really lame dreams!” ahaha I know, it’s so sad how boring my subconscious is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Some of the side effects of the pain meds I'm on is drowsines and such.. nothing. I was wide awake for hours after taking it. Although my dreams were like in this 60's hippie theme, lol. L and I web cammed for a while today, good long conversation we haven't had in like the last week. I miss him. I got out his gifts and showed them to him, even wound his watch up so he could watch the second hand with the airplane go around. Jasper is being super loving (he always knows when mommy doesn't feel well) and has stayed away from my feet - usually that's his favorite place to sleep. He actually curled up next to my body to sleep while I was napping earlier. Although he did cause the door to hit my bad toe as I was trying to feed him...

redrose85 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Are you taking percocets? I would sleep for HOURS on those things. They were awesome. I love when kitties know you’re upset or hurting. Moe is a pretty independent boy, but when Alex and I had that big fight, he came into the bedroom and snuggled up with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm taking a generic of Vicodin, Hydrocodone. Loratabs knock me out like that *snaps fingers* They really do know us and can sense things. It's silly but I even hate arguing in front of Jasper, lol. In boredome I'm thinking of starting a blog from Jasper's view - I have no life, I know, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom always wants to give me coffee when I get home at 11:00pm. Ummm hello mom, I have to get up in the morning, no thanks to the coffee.

thejigsup Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 When you go to the dentist, or really a few days before, ask if they can knock you out with nitrous oxide. Laughing gas is its other name. You feel happy and relaxed, go to sleep, and wake up with your dental work done and your in a great mood. No numb mouth. You get great pain meds and you are out for the entire procedure. I know friends who get this when they have dental work done. No shots, no drool, no pain.

OptomisticGirl Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'll def ask them. Normally I can handle the * * * * * of a needle but I don't know about my face. Do they test to make sure you aren't allergic to laughing gas before hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 you can't really be allergic to laughing gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 you can't really be allergic to laughing gas. Ah. I thought someone had been. I'm fine with being knocked out and then waking up, lol. When I had the fluid removed from my right wrist they could have just numbed me and I was like no, no, no. Knock me out.

annie24 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 maybe some people can have bad reactions but you can't have an allergy in the true sense of the word. (NO is simply too small to illicit an immune response.) I used it. it was like a really bad 1970s acid trip. really strange. but, it helped with the pain, for sure.

annie24 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 no - i was awake. this was at the dentist. i knew what was going on, but couldn't really feel it. and there were like flowers and swirls and stuff, on top of what was going on. i could hear the dentist talking but things didn't really register. he'd have to say things a few times to me, like if he wanted me to turn left or whatever. i was just really out of it!! link removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
