If it hurts, take an Advil. That's what the dentist said. The part she didn't say was - it gonna hurt like crazy! With bottom teeth, there is always the pesky food falling into the wound concern. What if it gets infected? I did use ice, but the swelling today is more than it was yesterday. What does that mean? I remember last time I had a tooth pulled, it hurt for 5 or 6 days. Seems like I am going down the same road with this one. Boo.
I tell myself that if someone cut a huge gouge out of my arm and didn't bother to stitch it up, it would hurt for a long time. So this is nothing unusual. I take my Advil, slap my ice pack on my cheek and moan quietly. This too shall pass. And then I can have another one pulled. There are several that need to be addressed. Cheer up. At least I got Novocaine for the pulling part. Today I will do a lot of walking and get my blood circulating to speed up the healing process. Meanwhile, owie owie owie.
