I've just been offline sleeping cause I'm all doped up on pain killers. And my bottom jaw is still really numb, lol. Feels all swolen but it isn't. The pain-killers make me sleepy. And I'm still feeling the affects from the anethesia as well.

Kathy, my sis-in-law told me everything that happened later, since I couldn't remember anything, lol. So anyway, they're putting my under, I have the IV going and all but they have to inject stuff to make it start working, lol. And the doc asks me if I've ever taken drugs or been drunk and I say no. He says that's how I'll feel in about thirty seconds. I think he asked me again, cause peeps going under tell the truth, lol. And I say, "No, but I can tell the age of panthers." Which I can, but they thought that was really funny and the doc said I'm ready to begin, lol. So the procedure goes fine and they're done and all. Kathy comes in and the doc is telling her about the three perscriptions he's giving me. A pain killer and an antibiotic both taken orally. Then he said the third is a suppository (taken opposite of mouth, lol) and apparently I woke from my drugged stupor and said, "Suppository? No... suppository..." before falling asleep again. That had the office in a riot, lol. From the time I went under, to the time we arrived at my sis-in-laws house I have no memory- except for one point in the ride where she told me the dentist wouldn't take my money. That made me feel so good. I felt so bad for all the money my parents were having to spend on me when I know they have other things that are neeed for this house and such. I could've cried when she told me about that. Such a nice man to do that. ^_______^ *sniff*

So... that was my day. Pretty much sleeping, waking up to replace the gauze in my mouth and a drink. Good news though, I can really only eat ice cream! He he. ^_~

Hi Melika
So that's where you've been. Poor thing. Well, hope you feel better soon.

Glad you are feeling better Melika. I am a friady cat with dentists. Will you go with me when I have to... and have to will probably be sooner than later? Seriously. I have been needing to go for awhile now to have a wisdom tooth extracted. What was your procedure?

On the bright side, you have good drugs, enjoy! :lol:

Let me quess, hydrocodone *yummy* Tylonol 3 *ok but can make ya barf* Percocet? If you have never even had alcohol, they should have you on Tylonol 3 tops, the rest are class II narcotics, very addictive so enjoy but when they are gone. THEY ARE GONE.

Lost a good friend to a pill addiction, she thought it to be so innocent. She was a little down for a bit so went to the Dr and he gave her that not realizing she already drank ALOT. She mixed Xanax with liqour and didnt wake up for class the next morning. In college, two of my roomates died. Too weird. This girl and another whom hung herself while everyone was away from vacation. I opened the door of the dorm to find her hanging there, thanks hun... selfish bitch. The whole way down the hall everyone was like what the hell is that god-awful smell. Welp, we found it. They cut her down, zipped her up, called her mom and I packed all of her stuff so her mom didnt have to come back there. They did it as if they were adorning a Christmas tree or something, like it happened everyday. And yes, when you hang yourself... you do pee pee (among other things) as you die. So, dont go there. Loss of any and all dignity you may have ever had. Plus, to kill yourself damns you to eternal hell and that isnt good either.

I wouldnt have roomed with me haha. Er, sorry if I brought anyone down, dont even know what I told that story other than to educate. People think if it came from a pharmacy it is safe, not the case. And I love you Melika, although I *KNOW* in your case, you on drugs is the least of my worries.

Yeah... I'm one of the most unlikely peeps to get addicted to anything that isn't an animal. ^_~

Hydrocodone, yup. But I don't like how it makes me feel at all. I took some regular tylenol but it didn't really help so I ended up taking the hydrocodone again. It usually takes three excedrine for me to get rid of a headache, tylenol has never worked for me anyway. And I can't take any aspirin product since it thins the blood, lol, so I just put off the codone as long as I can withstand the throbbing pain. xDD
Our family isn't big on pills at all. We just don't like them. I don't trust doctors to prescribe what's best for the patient- they get too many perks from the drug companies for it.

I had all four of my teeth extracted. Took maybe a half hour. My sis-in-law used to work with this particular dentist and reccomended him because he's good and quick. The roots hadn't reached the nerves in my jaw yet, so it was pretty simple. They only split one tooth, the rest popped out like jellybeans. I still have them, lol. Thought it would be cool to show the nieces.

I never had a fear of dentists, lol. My father goes every four months because he gets tooth issues quickly if he doesn't get cleaning. I have mom's teeth- hard as rocks, lol. I had one cavity after seven years with no dental visit- and even then it was merely a "slight decay".
When I was young mom worked as a receptionist for a dentist so the family got free cleanings. I always though it was kinda fun, lol.

Besides, the tools are pretty neat. Yeah, I'd go to the dentist with you. You really need a buddy for that? (not being condescending, just wondering)

Wow!! Dental stories! I got a doozie for ya. It's a long story so I won't go into detail. I'll just sum it up. I had pain in a tooth that already had a filling. Two dental visits later they figure out it has a hairline fracture from top to bottom. Need root canal. Go to have root canal done--FIVE SHOTS OF numbing agent later I can still feel the pain. So we can't do the procedure. I'll have to do the "twilight" procedure. Where they kind of knock you out. So I go for that and they can't do it cuz my breathing wasn't right. So I go back again and they finally manage to get the procedure done. Well when I wake up at home the left side of my face is so swollen and the right side of my face is where the root canal was to be done. Well he was also filling three small cavities while I was under. So come to find out while he was numbing me to fill a cavity the needle BROKE OFF IN MY CHEEK! It took them 2 xrays and 45 minutes to find it in my cheek. And then they had to stitch me up from one side of my cheek to the other and that part of my face was paralyzed for about a week. Talk about fun at the dentist! Woo hoo. Glad your experience was smooth Melika!

Geez. And I wonder why some poeple are afraid of the dentist... 0_0

Mikaela · Post by **Mikaela** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 1:38 pm

I wont go into why I am HORRIBLY afraid of dentists but girls, you can read between the lines... 6 year old little girl in a skirt, at the dentist, alone in a room, gased up. A@@hole could have at least drugged me up enough so I didnt harbor the memory.

Parents, dont be idiots, DO NOT allow your children alone with ANYONE... not even medical professionals. If you are asked to leave tell them to NO! And mean it. Now that I am older, I realize dentists are to NEVER to be left alone with children, there must always be a dental assistant in the room. And why would you think that is?

You've been through so much Mikaela how do you remain the wonderful happy person that you are?

Mikaela · Post by **Mikaela** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 3:35 am

Because it will be over my dead body that I ever allow ANYONE to affect my soul. Things that have happened to me were because of sick people. I dont hate them, I feel sorry for them.

To let this world get me down and to give in to pity parties only sets you back in life. I wasted energy crying immediately after events, then no more tears or energy. I dried my eyes, sucked it up and kept pushing forward... and I always will.

It will take a hell of alot more than a few bad experiences and a few perverts to damage my soul. I deserve better than that.

Jesus loves me, he knew all the things I had to endure. He doesnt give one more than they can handle. Everything deck I have been dealt was for a good reason and it made me who I am today.

No hard feelings, only happy. I pray for the souls of each individual that has ever wronged me. For it will be they who pay the ultimate price. My hell in on earth. Theirs will be for an eternity. I rest in knowing that.

Mikaela thats so awesome that you have pushed though with your situation... ive been though some tough stuff emotionally, i used to get full scale panic attacks and that lead to depression, the only person who got me though that rough time was god. i was christian before and was fully devoted but some how i think i went though it so i could help other people over come that issue... i almost commited sucide 3 times because i felt trapped in side my own body. i was on xanax to knock me out during an episode, and zoloft to ease the depression. IM all better now though and life goes on i know im free though jesus christ.

the power of prayer really works... i know ive been there.

See, we have all had it rough in one way or another. It is what you do about it that matters. I had no power when I was a child, I do now. So, I will be ok. I think heh.

I'm not really religious. I'm not really sure what I believe in but It's not like any other religion. /shrug

I've been depressed but I cant say I've had a rough time of my life, it's been relatively easy apart from my father dying of cancer and the break up with my ex.

There's too many things going on in my head atm. I cant think straight so I prefer not to think at all >.<
little growls is sleeping under my chin, he's so cute. or is he a she mikaela your good at picking ;P
