Having surgery on Tuesday

[nick]

the tylenol will really **** you up if you take them too many of those. I always wondered why dentists gave them out so much. When I used to gobble anything with codeine and run out, we'd get T2's and T3's sometimes... I don't think T4's are even in the US. But anyway, those would really **** up my stomach and gave me major side pains.

I could never imagine just one of those t2's doing anything, especially for pain... but different tolerance levels I guess.

The way it sounds I'll be getting Vicodin.

I won't be medically cleared to work until at least the 22nd.

Do not take more then 500 mgs at one time. If they offer you the 750 mg. ask for just 500. 750 mg. of Vicodans made me so sick. Although I am probably smaller than you so you may be able to handle the bigger dose.

I had all 4 out at once. The 1st 3 were a piece of cake and came out real quick. The 4th however sucked and he needed to chip some of my jaw bone to get it out. One thing I would reccommend is now to take too high of a dose of the pain medication. There is nothing worse then having stitches in your mouth, packing, and vomitting at the same time. I went through that the first day home. It was awful.

i had three wisdom teeth removed the surgical route (they still hadnt come down, but both the dentist and orthidontist suggested to have them removed).

I actually took my ACT's two days after the removal while still hopped up on the meds. dont even really remember the meds i was on (not vicodin)

the worst thing was puking up blood that first day. nothing like bloody red vomit to make you feel good.

T3 is nice. i dont mind that and doesnt do much on the side effects. of course, I am pretty lucky in that most pills dont bother me much on that front and very tolerant of most drugs.

I preffered norcos always... small amount of apap and a little stronger than t3, i think? it's been a long time since I had either... and the t3's even longer. But still.. t3's were ok all things considered. I think i had t1's once that did nothing.

Back on topic...

Got the x-rays done today, and the surgeon's assistant chuckled a bit...not in a good way either. All 4 are impacted.

Hopefully this isn't as bad as some of the horror stories I've read.

Are you going to be knocked out or just under a local?

[henks]

I'm getting the IV general anesthesia

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Knock yourself out for this one. I had all 4 impacted too man. It wasn't that bad, like I said. Like Zito, I remember nothing from the day I went to get them done. You will be fine. It's really not that bad. I was eating solid foods 24-48 hours after.

But definitely get as much knockout shit as you can.

The only slip up was a small piece of tooth emerged from my gum about 2 months later I was like wtf is this?

[henks]

I'm about 3 hours away.

Off I go.

[Rockiesfan_H]

and...And...AND???

I'm glued to my keyboard on how this turned out (since I'm likely looking at the same thing).

[nick]

i've seen henks on the boards since that day... hes been a LURKER :EEK:

[henks]

Yeah I've been lurking.

Didn't hurt too much, just a lot of dull throbbing and soreness, a LOTS of swelling.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

The chipmunk-like swelling is perfectly normal haha
