Oh god make this painkiller work
I'm not in pain yet!
I was freaking out before I became very dispassionate and eventually unconscious and woke up a minute later to find the surgery done. No complications yay.
I am now finding that, inconveniently, I am continually leaking blood from my mouth and cannot feel my lower lip or chin. In fact, my lower lip does not feel like it is related to the rest of my body. It keeps getting in the way and not responding when I poke it. When I was first feeling out my face, before I found a mirror, I thought it was gauze hanging out of my mouth.
Swallowing has become a very unfortunate experience that I cannot avoid, because my options are A) drooling blood, B) drowning on blood, C) spitting up my limited supply of gauze, or D) swallowing blood. It doesn't taste good. I'm not cut out to be a vampire, I think.
I'm beginning to regain feeling in my tongue. This is the prelude to pain.
Not sleepy, which is good, because I would... wind up with option B there, I think.

no subject
if it makes you feel better, I couldn't feel any of my face after they pulled 4 of my teeth and gave me 2 ...possibly 3...root canals. :D And i believe if you run out of the big V...lemme check...generic aspirin. Not like fake!aspirin, but the kind with the spooky "bad" drugs in 'em. What they make heart attack patients take. Those work well for teh pain.
And yeah, that coughing blood trick gets so old after the first few hours. XD ~hugs!~
