    Ugh what sort of mess @bethanie0825? ANYTHING is better than molars being cut out and pulled.

    Had 2 molars out today. They tried to tell me how painful it wa going to be. I didn't really believe them. They were right.

    Ow.

    I think I would rather walk into a mess at work than have teeth pulled.

    Uh yeah, I'll take my mess at work over having teeth pulled. I hope you feel better soon

    I should be less judgmental but when someone comes in with a cat with vague symptoms and then tells me the cat can't be handled when at the vet's office, but it's been sick for three days so it might be OK, I just want to kick them out.

    Actually, I did. I've got the cat on fluids and antibiotics and sent them home. :smile:

    Poor kitty may be just as relieved to get away from its owners as you are.

    My face looks like it lost a fight with a baseball bat, but I'm at work. I can barely open my mouth wide enough to get a spoon in, and I'm almost out of pain pills. This might be a long weekend.

    Also, something is really screwing up my stomach. Probably the pain meds.

    Ugh.


    Ok, I'll stop whining now.

    Not really.

    Pain meds will do that. Hopefully the swelling and bruising go down quickly.

    Whatcha on? Naproxin or ibuprofin? - they are both hell on the tummy (Naproxin works better but is harder on your gut)

    I work night shift too. Works in the medical field at night while trying to get fit.
    How are you? Most people here nurses?

    Generally medical/vet/coroner fields, and security/policing/first responders. There were a few night audit hotel workers here once in a while, but I think they mainly move on to day jobs when they can.

    I was hotel night audit for a while, but now I do security.

    @canadjineh -I was on ibuprofen and hydrocodone, which I replaced with tylenol when I ran out. Stomach is a bit better now.

    @jennifer_417 that's nice that your stomach feels much better now.

    @bethanie0825 you are the first person I met that's a 911 dispatcher.

    OK, I know I said I wasn't gonna listen to Dr. Google any more, but, well, there are no dentists to call at 5pm on a Sunday. Anyway, I think I may have dry socket. Gah. I'll have to call the dentist first thing in the morning.

    Veterinary ER. I've decided to win the lottery and become an owner of a private island in Belize. I just haven't figured out the win the lottery part yet. Still working on it.

    If you have dry socket, start drinking whisky. It won't fix the dry socket but you won't care either. :smile:

    @sufferlandrian I have soft spot for Veterinarians. My father inlaw was a DVM. I used to help him work at sale barns with cattles and horses. He also raised all sorts of animals in the back of his clinic. We had pigs, goats, horses, cows, buffalo, geese, chicken, turtles, dogs, cats and etc. Probably one of the smartest man I have ever known.

    I wish I could say I was one of the smartest people I've known. I know a lot of people smarter than me. I really good at my job, but I'm jealous of how smart some of the people I know are.

    I kinda fell into it lol. I needed a job after I graduated college and no one would even call me in for an interview. My ex-husband said that our county was hiring for 911 so I applied and got the job. Fast forward almost 11 years and here I am! :smile: It was supposed to be a job that is now a career. I work at a different agency now than when I started. Less work, better pay.
