Ok, a little less doom

[susandennis]

But, you know what? Quite honestly, in the time between these calls, I'd pretty much decided that I was going to get out of this all together... hmmmm

Casey called back and her shit was much more together. Very together. Apparently the no antibiotics is ok and she will have a pain medication (narcotic) prescription for me on Wednesday. And, she asked if Kieran can walk me into my condo and make sure I was settled before he took off and thanks to ruby_stone's comment on my last entry, I was able to answer brightly and convincingly 'Oh yes!'

The reality is that he will if I want him to and if I don't feel like he needs to then I'll get out at the sidewalk.

I also made sure we had this exchange:

Me: So I'll be stupid, right?
Casey: Oh yeah, you'll be asleep. But, we can wake you up.
Me: I just want to make sure that I'm not awake or aware of what's going on.
Casey: You won't remember a thing.

We are going to have that conversation again when I got in this coming Wednesday so she can take my blood pressure. Ok, Plan B is back on the back burner. Man, I'll be glad when this is over.

Hey, canuckgirl, your deal was in the morning, right? And you went to work the next day, right? I remember you were in real pain but I do think you worked... I could go look it up... Edit: And I did look it up and it was on Friday and you were still feeling like crap on Monday. Ugh. Not the news I was looking for. My plan is to take Tuesday off and go back to work on Wednesday. Maybe I'd better make Wednesday a 'if you see me, great, if not, fine' day.

Mine was Friday morning. And I was still in a lot of pain on Saturday. I did go back to work on Monday though. :)

But you were having something more specific done and were already having a lot of pain to your teeth/jaw before you even went to the dentist also - right?

That's something Susan should take into consideration.

[canuckgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I was LOTS of pain beforehand.

[susandennis]

You are so cute.

I actually did go back and look at the journal details. Ugh. Oh well, better to know ahead of time. Thankgoodness for a trail blazer!

I think I'can tell Stephen that I'll be in on Wednesday if I can and if not, then I won't. He'll be cool with that.

*grin* I try and try to be cute - I'm so glad someone finally noticed.

Oh I read a book recently that made me think of you - The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1931499160/qid=1120164236/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/102-0491904-8774531?v=glance&s=books&n=507846).

They have instructions on how to knit socks on 2 needles! I just may be able to make socks one day - though I still want to come visit at some point and get you to show me how to manage knitting in the round on dpns.

[susandennis]

Oh yeah... two circulars is way better than dpns - When you come visit, we'll teach you two circulars instead. I only use dpns these days for poking at things - not for knitting.

it is my experience

that medical and dental types just don't deal too well with email (at least on a professional level). if you push them on it they go on about privacy, but i think there's more to it.

OK, so I don't post a thing about my forthcoming extraction until AFTER you've had all your stuff done, right? ;)

[susandennis]

no no no! I want to hear all the details. Really. My extraction is the least of my worries. It's a wisdom tooth that is very nearly falling out on its own. It wiggles. I think it's going to be ok. So, please, tell all.

Mine were deep cleaned, but no cutting. I had very little pain. I think we are each different.

I really was amazed that I had so little pain. The pain that got the whole thing going was over by the time I had any work done.

I had a prescription for narcotics, but never needed it.

Hopefully yours will be like mine.

[susandennis]

Yes, I'm going to assume mine will be just like yours! I'm modeling my recovery on yours for sure!
