That. was. awful.

The tooth actually feels okay. A little bruisy, but I can tell it will feel better tomorrow-ish in a way the other solutions never really did fix it. But oh my god, my poor jaw, which already had issues over at the TMJ, let's not forget, hyperextended for two hours and occasionally extended even further when (e.g.) they'd press the temporary crown into place. The ache is something I have not known before. It took a few minutes before I stopped shaking, even once the work was done.

Four advil and some time with the heating pad later, and I'm able to think about something other than when it will stop hurting. (It still hurts, and opening my mouth wide enough to brush my teeth tonight will be interesting, but at least it's not all there is anymore.)

Oh, honey, I am so sorry!

[fox]

It's the kind of thing that I know if I'd been sedated it would hurt just as much now, probably even more?, except I have the idea (at the moment) that I wouldn't mind so much if I hadn't had to feel it getting that way.

Oh. Em. Gee. Poor Fox. :( I am sending hugs and good vibes and lukewarm chicken soup (yeah, I know: not yummy, but I remember that after my wisdom teeth were extracted, I was only allowed pureed, lukewarm food for a little while. PUREED HAM! yuck.)

I hope you feel better real soon -- at least it's over now, yes?

[fox]

It's almost over. One more hour next Monday, and maybe at that time the permanent crown will be ready?, but if not, another time to get the crown in place.

I think I am allowed Real Food, so at least there's that. :-)

You poor thing!

::sending jaw-ache-relieving vibes::

[fox]

Wow, those vibes seem to be working! Thanks!

[ellen_fremedon]

Oh, poor Fox! But I am glad that it is (mostly) over, and that you feel it's going to get better.

[fox]

I'm so much more optimistic than I remember being the other times. :-)

[cinco]

Oh, how horrible! I'm so sorry, and I hope you're on the road to permanent feeling better!

[fox]

I'm having very positive thoughts!

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:



When I had my wisdom teeth out, which was a whole ordeal of woe, my face was sufficiently bruised up that people kept trying to convince me that I should go to a shelter. I hope yours is less so.

[fox]

I don't seem to be bruised so's you can see on the outside. Nor swollen, too much.

[starfish]

DON'T LET JOSH INTO THE PRESS ROOM.

(also I hope it is better soon)

[leela_cat]

Ack.

I hope you recover from your root canal as fast as I did from mine, and that it's helps ease your pain just as much.
