Post-Oral Surgery

After all the digging, cutting, sawing, pulling, reaming, bone-scraping and stitching, I have just one word to say: OWW. I never experienced the joy of a circular saw in my mouth, before. Fun? Not so much. All I can say is, if the exposed portions of those molars had been as bullet-proof as their roots, they wouldn't have needed extraction.

Now for the Oxycontin/ibuprofen mix from the doctor ... Pain? What pain?

Thanks for the reminder. Terry and I haven't connected with a local dentists since we moved...in 2006. she finally made an appointment for herself today. I'll have to get around to it soon. I'm NOT loking forward to it as I do not believe it will be 1) painless 2) cheap (no dental ins) or 3) painelss (yeah I know, I said it twice for areason)

You forgot the crunching and the popping. Those guys can be brutal.
