    Hey, can I get one of those, "Work less, Better pay" jobs? :smile:
    The weather is turning nice for the week. It's been 51 on my ride in and only 30 on my ride home. The snow is melted off the sidewalks and bike paths. It's almost perfect! :smile: Up the temps by 10 degrees and it will be perfect weather.

    I bought a bike last year, and have never ridden it. I think I need to get it to the bike shop at this point before I try to ride it. The weather is getting nicer and I'd at least like to ride it around the neighborhood.

    Honestly, a heaping helping of hard liquor is starting to sound more and more appealing. Between the pain in my mouth, and trying to kill that with unhealthy amounts of OTC pain meds (because they won't give me more hydrocodone without a in-office visit) and the antibiotics that I now have to take totally screwing up my stomach, and those two things combining to make it really hard to eat anything, which is only making things worse, being blackout drunk is starting to sound like a very reasonable alternative.

    @jennifer_417 Oh no...I'm guessing the dentist didn't get you in?

    Well, I talked to the clinic nurse on the phone. She didn't think I had dry socket based on what I told her, and I didn't want to pay for an appointment just to get pain meds. If it's not a LOT better by tomorrow, I'll make the appointment.

    Wow Jennifer! That sounds terrible! I know the human side is very concerned about opiate abuse but for pete sakes, you just had the tooth pulled a couple days ago. You would think that would seem like a reasonable request.

    Idk, the way she said it, it sounded like it was a legal issue. It just sucks to have to pay for another visit, especially since I don't have insurance.

    Even a few days of something would help you get thru :disappointed:

    I'm finally doing a bit better, but it's probably because I slept all day. The swelling is down and the pain seems more tolerable.

    Glad to hear things are feeling better. You've been on a roll with bad luck. At least you got the guy to open the pickle jar for you. :smile:

    Left for work 15 minutes late. Really had to push it on my bike to make it up but I did. :smile: Made it in 23 minutes instead of my usual 37. Hitting the lights right helped. :smile:

    Once I started to be able to get some real food down, that helped a lot. Still have some pain but the swelling is almost gone and my stomach is much better. Finally on the mend!

    @sufferlandrian -that must've been a heckofa ride!

    @Jennifer - Now the bruising will appear. :smile:
    Yes, I was really pushing it. Heart rate was 167 coming down the last 3 miles. My max is 170. For those of you with threshold on the mind, My threshold is 156 bpm. Yes, I was anaerobic the last three milds. :smile:

    I had a choice. I could be good at spelling or good at my job. Spelling went right out the window. Anyone remember how to spell Chilothorax?

    Got it. Chylothorax. :smile:

    There are days when I think I'm not going to make it another week. Got woken up at 12:30 by a daughter wailing about how terrible her life is. I swear there are days I want to make her homeless and see if she still thinks her life was so terrible.

    @sufferlandrian Maybe she needs to see how bad life can be

    Oh boy teenagers are fun...not.

    In other news (possible TMI), I have a huge chunk of peanut stuck in the cavern where one of my molars was pulled. It's been there since yesterday, and I haven't been able to get it out. I even went in with tweezers. I don't know what to do, lol.

    Teenagers are not fun lol.

    And oh gah, that sucks. Toothpick? I'm trying to think of something thin you could use. Maybe aggressive swishing if you're able?
  • jennifer_417
    jennifer_417 Posts: 12,344 Member
    I've tried swishing and poking and pretty much everything I can think of. It will spin around in there, but it has not come out!

    I got it! It's finally out! I was genuinely starting to get worried, lol. The prospect of rotting food in a new, raw hole...icky.
  • sufferlandrian
    sufferlandrian Posts: 8,244 Member
    At least if it was rotting it was getting smaller so it would eventually flush out.
  • jennifer_417
    jennifer_417 Posts: 12,344 Member
    True, but the idea of having rotting food just stuck in my mouth, just...eugh.
  • bethanie0825

    I'm glad it came out!
