Pain, pain

[rayvyn2k]

Had to have a root canal in one of my molars yesterday. It took the dentist THREE HOURS. The novacaine wore off halfway through my hour-long ride home. The pain is exquisite. I cried, couldn't help it. My jaw feels like someone has jammed a hot poker into it.

Got to the drugstore and picked up my pain meds, took one in the parking lot. Got home and took another half. Didn't really help much. Made a drink to "enhance" the med. Nada. Still hurt. Took the other half. Went to bed.

Woke up two hours later and took another pain pill. Then woke up every two hours after that, moaning. Didn't take any more pain meds during the night, though.

Pain woke me again at 5am, gave up on sleeping and went to start the coffee. Took another pain pill. Burst into tears as the pain is still bad. Called work, no way can I deal with that in this condition.

So, I'm home today. But I wish I wasn't if you know what I mean. I've had root canals before, but this one has hurt more than anything I can remember recently.

Sweetie, I'm so sorry about the root canal. Hopefully you are feeling better now. If not call that damn doc and get some better meds. It's ridiculous to be in pain.

My dentist called me to see how I was doing and he called in something stronger. Hubby went to pick it up, so hopefully in about an hour I'll be in a generic-Percocet haze.
