I got my wisdom teeth out (the bottom two) on Tuesday, and ever since everything has been hell for me lol. The right one was the only tooth that was "in" and it was also infected to start with. They put me on an antibiotic and painkillers (Tylenol with codeine which I never even bothered to take) and then scheduled me for surgery. I hated the feeling of the Novocaine (as usual) and did not really like the "twilight sleep" sedation either, because I woke up when they were stitching my mouth and I thought I'd be waking up when they were completely done. I didn't feel anything but I still didn't like it.
So anyway, I stayed at home in bed for a few days on Vicodin and more antibiotics... and now I've noticed that on my gums on both sides where they stitched... the stitch is like "cut off on the ends" (imagine like tied off fishing line) and its rubbing against the side of my mouth on both sides. So now I have irritation-like canker sore type things on both sides of my mouth from this rubbing. The stitches are supposed to dissolve on their own but it just annoys me so much. If I didn't have more sense I'd just rip them out now!! :10: But anyway, I am going back for a follow up on Thursday (5 days away!!) and these stitches BETTER dissolve faster than that or I will go crazy. I can't even like lay down and try to sleep because it irritates me so much, and I wanted to wean off the painkillers but it hurts/annoys me so much I wind up just taking more Vicodin so at least I can get to sleep. I just can't wait for these things to be out of my mouth so I can brush back there and just feel like my mouth is back to normal!!! :brsh:
