I "get" to have All Four of my Wisdom Teeth out Tomorrow at 9:00 AM!

[NoahsMommy]

Woohhoo! Yippee!! Aren't I "lucky"!?!?!?

No, I'm actually happy to be rid of them. I've been having migrains and a ton of pain from the middle of my mouth to the entire right side of my right face all the way up to my ear, eye, cheek and nose for the week and I just cannot take it any more. I was so lucky to have the oral surgeon I met with today tell me that he had an opening at 9:00 a.m because "people tend to bail out on them during holidays." Works for me. Get these painful suckers OUT of my HEAD, OWIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So would you all wish me luck and say some prayers for me tomorrow? Needless to say, my Thanksgiving is going to be pretty painful and I may sleep right through it, but that's OK. I'll at least come out and say "Hello" to everyone on Turkeyday and then return to my cave.

Just wanted to share. Thank you for the prayers and good wishes.

Love, Kelly

Hey, leftovers are part of the celebration, too right? Have them at least save you some stuffing - little chewing required for that or the mashed potatoes!

Good luck tomorrow, we'll be thinking of you!

[K9karen]

Yup, I'm with ya, girl. Sometimes it's worth short term pain to get rid of the never ending pain. I'm glad the surgeon squeezed you in. Enjoy a painless, comfortable sleep and speedy recovery. Turkey another day. Take care, Kelly, I'll be thinking of you...

~~~ healing vibes ~~~ and while your T'day may not be the most fun, think how wonderful it will be to have it over and ... whoowhee ... by Christmas and New Years this will be just a memory.

Hang in there, dear.

You can still have your Turkey Dinner ...

Just tell Mom to toss yours in the Blender for a few minutes,

then add some Vodka for "gravey" ... and Sipp it down with a big straw.



Hope all goes well in the morning!

Kelly, I'm sorry to hear that things aren't going well for you. I seem to remember that when I had my wisdom out that I was told to be sure to leave the guaze that they packed my sockets with in my mouth. They would remove it in a few weeks or so. Part of it started coming out but I had to just leave it alone. Luckliy I didn't have any problems. I sure hope that you'll heal quickly and be able to remain painfree. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I knew having all 4 out at one time would be no walk in the park..HOWEVER, soon all the pain will be gone and all that be behind you and life will be normal again. That day will come soon so just hang in there!

[NoahsMommy]

Thank you all so much for the kind words and healing thoughts. Today is the first day I actually feel OK...I haven't had to take any of the pain meds for my mouth at all...something I didn't think possible these past few days - even yesturday!

I have to say, if I didn't have all four taken out, there is NO WAY I'd go back for more of this "fun". But....I think it really had more to do with me getting that dry socket the next day after surgery. That is the pain that I couldn't stand. It felt different from the surgical pain, it was this throbbing, radiating, stabbing, horrible pain - "worst pain, EVER" category. As soon as I went back into Dr. Rahn's office on Friday a.m. and they cleaned out my cute little sockets (yay!) and put that icky, yet numby clove medicine in, it help the pain after a few days - just look at me now!! I'm still being VERY cautious about eating ANYTHING because that part hurts, but I can talk and yawn without crying, which is a great.

Thank you!!!!

Love, Kelly and her sockets!!

Just gotta say "Kelly and the Sockets" sounds like a rock band!

Glad you are feeling better.
