I'm up, I'm up - I managed to be in bed by 12:15 so almost eight hours of sleep, a very good thing.

I'll leave here in about thirty-five minutes and be on my way to the dentist for dentistry.

I'm a bit nervous about pain, but let's hope it's not bad. And unless I'm nuts, perhaps the salt water helped because the swelling seems to have gone down a bit.

That's so great that the swelling seems to have gone down a bit.

Good morning, again.

BK, I had to go in again after one of my crowns. I just went into the office and asked if he could take a quick look, because it didn't seem to be healing.

I expect it did help, plus the fact that you stopped flossing.

I think he scraped some glue-type stuff off.

Jane · « **Reply #71 on:** December 06, 2024, 09:00:31 AM »

Interesting.

Laura · « **Reply #72 on:** December 06, 2024, 09:00:34 AM »

So, I have gained three pounds. Oy.

Laura · « **Reply #73 on:** December 06, 2024, 09:01:11 AM »

I took a break from walking, because I was sick, then I donated blood. That always makes me tired for a few days.

Laura · « **Reply #74 on:** December 06, 2024, 09:01:25 AM »

But there's no excuse now.

And I need to cut out carbs again.

Same here. I will begin after my birthday.

Oh my, it is Friday already and I have much to do.

Damn. All along, I'd been forgetting this, but DR Laura's comment about her crown made me remember:

Once when I had a temporary crown on a molar way back in my mouth, I had a lot of irritation in the gum or cheek for the next day or two, and it took me a while to get the idea to look in there with a flashlight to see if I could see anything. Indeed, there was a piece of something tooth-colored kind of sticking out of the gum around the wisdom tooth next to the crown, so I got my finger back there and found out it would move. I thought it wasn't really part of anything, but even if it was, I had to find out so I began pulling on it. Sure enough, it began coming out from under the gum and it turned out to be a long sort of spirally piece of -- I dunno -- some material obviously left in there by mistake. Maybe a glue thing, who knows. It seemed to have nothing to do with the crown, but it had been cutting into my cheek and feeling like a bad canker sore. Well, everything IMMEDIATELY felt better, felt right, and that little episode was all over.

Having now remembered that, I can't wait to hear what BK's issue turns out to be.

I rinsed it off and kept it for a couple of days, thinking I'd show the dentist, but I finally said why bother, who cares, it's resolved. But I wonder if I took a picture of it. Hmm...

Back from the dentist and bank.

I suspect when the huge amount of Novocain wears off there will be a lot of pain. The culprit was tartar - a HUGE piece stuck up there. He thinks he got most of it out of there but boy did he have to work at it. From what little I can feel, it's still is a bit swollen but that's probably natural - he said about 70% was already down, swollen-wise, and he wants me to do the warm salt water thing later, so I will, even though I hate it. I'm going to attempt to take two Tylenol now, but am worried that I won't be able to swallow properly yet - we'll see. He also gave me a prescription for amoxicillin if I need it. Up to me. So, we'll see how I'm feeling after rehearsal ends. If it's okay I won't get it, if it's really painful, I will go to CVS. I do believe all medicines are covered by insurance, so it's free.

That's been my day so far.

bk · « **Reply #82 on:** December 06, 2024, 11:05:30 AM »

Managed to get the Tylenol swallowed.

Obviously, no food until after rehearsal. I would love some creamy tomato soup but I'm sure the idiotic nearby Gelson's won't have it. On the other hand, it's clam chowder day everywhere so I might have a bowl of that from someplace.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #84 on:** December 06, 2024, 11:09:28 AM »

Oy! Wow.

The dentist recently left me so numb that I did indeed have trouble holding liquid and keeping my mouth closed and swallowing right without dribbling or spewing all over the bathroom. I accidentally looked in the mirror and there was some idiot making a stupid face.

Yikes, that must have been horrible until you got it out!

Vibes that you get through rehearsal OK.

There are 8 Guests actually reading today's posts. That's a bit unusual.

Freddie · « **Reply #88 on:** December 06, 2024, 11:24:46 AM »

But also 304 Guests are viewing the whole HHW board, which has started to seem normal here, as HHW hurtles towards being the most popular site on the net.

Since page 4 is so close, might as well get there.
