Boy, was I a bonehead.
I can't believe I was looking forward to it. I got them pulled on Friday afternoon. It is now Monday evening and I'm still in more pain than I had anticipated. I take the 800mg ibuprofen three times a day and when it flares up in between those times, I have (generic) vicoden. I'm also on an antibiotic, which I hate. I can't stand being on antibiotics. They leave a disgusting taste in my mouth, and they counteract birthcontrol. I'm tired all the time, my jaw aches, I have to take my antibiotic with a full glass of water, and I have been having to take it at bedtime, which means I'm getting up in the middle of the night. I honestly don't LIKE to complain, when I'm in genuine pain, the last thing I want to do is be a bother to anyone else. Now, if I have a cold? Yeah, I'm super obnoxious. I always end up feeling awful when I can tell on my husbands face that I'm being a pill.
Here I sit, on the couch... Again. I've been pretty well acquainted with this couch for the past 3 days. Good thing this giant purple cat hair magnet is confortable! But... my stitches feel like they are pulling and there is a flap of skin that seems to be loose. I'm just worried that it's going to keep getting worse. I'm such a negative Nancy, a real Debbie downer. And I hate it.
Maybe I just feel like being negative right now? That's not fair at all. God gave me an opportunity to go to a good dentist adn take care of a problem in my mouth. God gave me an amazing husband who just wants to help me feel better. I just need to shake it. I'm healing, that's a good thing. Healing doesn't come without a little pain, still.
Buck up, you big sissy. There are worse things out there.

At least you got them all taken care of! You'll feel much better when you're all healed up... And you won't have to worry about it anymore!
