The final wisdom tooth pity party and updates
Hey there, getting my last tooth out in like 12 hours! I'm scared, especially since I strained my sinuses and now my ears and throat sting. My brother Is also sick right now so I'm terrified of catching it. I will be whining a lot in this thread in true post wisdom tooth cat fashion. So grab some muffins and let's get this pity party going π₯³
@sadcat13 *stops by and grabs a delicious muffin π from πββ¬οΈ* Thank you very much. Hope your dentist appointment goes well and your brother feels better soon. β€οΈ

@YourCaringConfidant thank you π I'm really worried because it's the bottom one π but the muffins are really good π
@sadcat13 I guess it's gotta come out sooner or later. I was (I think) 33 yrs old when I finally got my wisdom π¦· pulled. ππ€£ I think most people get theirs removed before 20. Anyway, hope your nerves settle before your appointment. Are you stocked with your yummy soft foods to eat after your appointment?Β
@YourCaringConfidant
YESSSSSS there MUST be ice cream in the house hehe! And yogurt and popsicles and such <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 All this! And orange jello! π Hehe.Β
Ew. You can keep that one. XD
@jesusredeemedme2425 Happily! Orange jello is my favorite flavor. π It's gotta be the right firm texture though. Not liquidy jello. π€’
@YourCaringConfidant damn, I can feel your pain π my mom got hers out in her late 40s/early 50s and it was very complicated and she didn't take it well. I've been fishing them out one by one for like two years now and I'm so ready for this to be over π
Sadly not really ready with food as I have ARFID (eating disorder where you are extremely picky for your own specific reasons like sensory aversions, fear of aversive consequences or no interest in food mine being the first two) so I'm genuinely stuck trying to chew tiny pieces of bread on like day 1. While I get potatoes and some other cooked veggies ocassionally, It's just a race between my swelling, antibiotics and just gagging the second i even see one of the few foods I'm surviving on after surgery. So it's extremely unpleasant π’ but glad this will be the last time
@sadcat13 Awwwwww, I can't imagine. I'm glad you have your safe foods though that you can tolerate. And yayyy for this being the last time. You can get through this. I'm rooting for you and that your appointment goes well and you recover soon after.Β
@YourCaringConfidant thank you. I barely slept and have to go to the dentist in a moment π
@sadcat13 How are you, πββ¬οΈ? You ok? π€
@YourCaringConfidant yessss for now, the surgery went well. Currently being very exhausted due to the swelling and pain but taking it slow, one step at a time. Even had a little nap now between meds
@YourCaringConfidant
Why do these muffins look so gooooood hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425 Because they are! πββ¬οΈ got them fresh out the oven for us all. π Yummmy!Β
@sadcat13
You got this girl <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 I hope π’
You doooooo <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 will update everyone once the painkillers kick in tomorrow about how it went β€οΈ get ready for an entire load of OCD too π
We are totally here for this. Shall I tag the encouragement crew??? <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 up to you. Don't wanna take up space for those who are not into like 10 days of constant whining, but also any encouragement is appreciated. So I'm fine with either
Bro. This is literally what weβre here for. <3

@jesusredeemedme2425 thank you β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
@sadcat13
@jesusredeemedme2425 so sweetΒ π
@sadcat13
Wishing I hadn't been tagged in yet, if not, I'll try harder ð€Βͺð€Βͺ
Ugh, so glad I got mine out all at once. It was rough but it was in patient and a huge hassle (plus cost)
I hope it all goes smoothly, no infections and you have delicious smoothies!
Ooooh smoothies are a good idea <3
@AffyAvo it's definitely a good idea to get them out all at once. I genuinely wish I would have done two at once at least. Been fishing them out one by one for like 2 years now during the cold months and not having a good time π’ I sadly don't like smoothies, and 2 out of 3 times my antibiotics didn't allow for dairy or sour things. So curious how will it goes this timeΒ
@sadcat13 I think we may have discussed smoothies before? Or maybe it was someone else? You can just blend the fruit, add a bit of water or juice if it's thick. No dairy needed and you could throw in vegan protein powder, a nut butter, etc too. The trick would be the sour restriction, figuring out what fruit is ok.
I probably wouldn't have done mine all at once if I didn't have to be in-patient. Definitely feeling for you experiencing it multiple times!
@AffyAvo I don't think it was me, the most I'm willing to do is orange juice π but it definitely seems like an idea I could try, as I never considered milkless smoothies before π
@sadcat13
I donβt know how to support you right now, haha. I myself have to go for a root canal π They also said that if they canβt save my tooth, they might have to remove it. Iβm really terrified and keep avoiding the check-up.
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 I feel for you β€οΈ I had to get a crown a while back and I was terrified π
@mytwistedsoul
Is the process painful π£?Β 
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 The work before I got the permanent one wasn't bad and didn't hurt. The dentist put a temporary crown in and that wasn't bad. But she seemed to be in a hurry to get the temporary one off and broke part of the tooth π¬ It hurt when she cemented the permanent one in. But she did it without any novacaine and acted like I was overreacting when I said it hurt π That's my dentist though and hopefully your's is better and more sympathetic β€οΈ

@mytwistedsoul that must have been horribleΒ π’
@sadcat13 It was tbh. The worst experience was when she did a filling without novacaine. She said it was just a small cavity and it would take longer for the novacaine to work than it would to fill the tooth. I told her the next time she says that we'll wait for the novacaine to work π
@mytwistedsoul thatΒ΄s so bad. IΒ΄m so sorry you had to go through such a bad experience. Also thatΒ΄s peak bs, my dental anesthesia always kicks in in like 2 mins? Even just the small ones for cavities, so stand up for the treatment you need π» Hope you didnΒ΄t have such an uncomfortable experience againΒ π»
@sadcat13 Yeah that won't happen again. I think a lot of the problem is that she has too much going on. She was looking to save a few minutesΒ π She has a lot of people come to this office but is only open some of the days. The other days she's at her other office a few towns over.
@mytwistedsoul yep. Definitely don't let her do it again. Your wellbeing matters π»
@sadcat13 Thank you β€οΈΒ
@mytwistedsoul
Lmao do I laugh or cry at this point π Iβve been there. I told mine: hey, that hurts and she hit me with the classic: itβs fine.
Maβamβ¦ for who exactly?? ππ
Anyway, I finally got my appointment booked. Pray for me. If you donβt hear from me after, just assume Iβve ghosted the entire hospital and started a new life somewhere toothless but peaceful. ππ
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 good job for making the appointment π I'm proud of you π
@sadcat13 Yayy π.Β 
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 Tbh I wanted to both π
Oh dang these dentists are something else. a bunch of masochists. Exactly π Fine for who? Because it didn't feel fine to me π³ I should have bit her π Tbh the thought did cross my mind
Hey I'm really proud of you for making the appointment! I'll definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers β€οΈΒ
Toothless but peaceful ππΒ
@mytwistedsoul
Lol I swear, same hereβ¦ just a whole cocktail of mixed emotions π
Lmao you almost shouldβve gone for it β imagine the chaos and the embarrassment after π For me it was her face being sooo closeβ¦ I got lost in my thoughts and didnβt even realize I was just staring at her π I probably made her nervous without meaning to π
Thank youuu, that really means a lott. I'm grateful n Love youu!! π
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 Omg π Yes that way too close to the face thing. π I have trouble with the eye doctor too. It's hard not to start laughing when they're an inch away πΒ
@mytwistedsoul
Exactly π€£π€£π€£.Β
I used to take any spots tho, but... idk why do i even did something that, when i realised it, godd... the embarassmentπ. the wild part is, i shared it with one of my friend... she created a gl scenario. π now it became as regret of my life π.Β
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 Oh no try not to regret it too much. β€οΈ I'm sure the dentist has had other people do things like that or has actually been bit π π€
@mytwistedsoul
LolΒ π π.

@Ailuraphilelove8tear9

ππ
@mytwistedsoul
Nemooo π.Β
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 I didn't realize that's where the gif is from! π I haven't seen Nemo in a whileΒ
@mytwistedsoul
I had been watched the 1st movie "Finding Nemo" n ngl I'm literally terrified by this kid π©.Β
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 Yeah she looks a little too eager with those choppers! π
@mytwistedsoul
Yeah π, she do creepy stuffs to fishes.ππ€§
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 π¬Β
@mytwistedsoul
ππ¨
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 that's okay, I mostly made this thread to whine lol. I believe in you and hope your root canal will be done well and fast β€οΈ
@sadcat13
Thank you! Iβve actually been putting things off for a while π
I really hate hospital environments, especially the smell. The moment I get anywhere near one, I start shivering and feeling anxious π
And guess what? Iβve had a toothache for the past 3β4 months and Iβve still been ignoring it π Itβs more than just fearβ¦ itβs the discomfort π€§ Eww!
I also canβt stand the thought of someone looking so closely at my face π I might crack up for no reason! πΒ
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 I can see why, dental stuff is really not fun. But please don't neglect it because it will just get worse. I personally keep my eyes closed during the appointment to avoid a staredown lol
@sadcat13
Yeah, i guess so.. but i couldn't stop myself resisting lol. I'm gathering my courageous n still gathering. yet could find one ππ. But yepieee... I dont want to rip my tooth. so.. I've to take my actions ahead π.Β
Thank you for ur concern, means alot <3 β€οΈ.
@sadcat13 I heard muffins π (looks for a blueberry muffin) Last wisdom tooth!? I know it's scary as heck having to get dental work done and the last one,Β had you on some serious antibiotics. This is the last one Cat that is awesome! Before long all this wisdom tooth stuff will all be behind you and that will be a happy day I'm sure
(Sending you lots of love and strength) β€οΈ You got this

@mytwistedsoul great choice, the blueberry ones are really good π yessss. I got the same antibiotics again, but only for 7 days this time. So should be okay hopefully. I'm waiting to take the third dose now and then go to Dreamland π but for now, this is probably the most calm and least painful one out of all I had before. My cheek is swollen and it hurts to swallow, but I had problems barely surviving till next pain meds time all 3 times before. Today I only took second dose like 2-3 hours after I could have, only because I have a bit of a fever (37.5ish) and wanted to give my body some inflammation support. God is really giving me special mercy this time π
@sadcat13 I love blueberry muffins! π I'm glad this one isn't as painful as the others. It's a shock to the system having things like this done. An ice pack might help with the swelling? I hope your fever is gone now and you're feeling better β€οΈ

@mytwistedsoul thank you π I'm using a wet tissue that cools me gently since last time I used an ice pack I was just running around with it like it grew to me after a small oven burn lol. And then when I took it off my hand wasn't really appreciating it and made me realise I overdid it a little (luckily no frostbite or anything but still) π so using the handkerchief to have it cooled a bit less intensively but I can have it on my face the entire day if i want π
Youβre supposed to put something between your skin and the ice packβ¦ Just sayin hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425 Well. ItΒ΄s sparta over here, you get what you get lol π
Sparta? Lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 yep. We are a bunch of "toughen up" attitude people here lol
@sadcat13 Oh gosh Cat that's definitely not good! π¬ Hey if a wet cool handkerchief helps then use that. We definitely don't want you getting frostbite!Β
@mytwistedsoul yesss, on it! Just took painkillers for the night, and my entire throat is burning up from the mint taste. And getting ready to deal with the antibiotics in like two hours. I don't know how I will make it for 5 more days like this π
@sadcat13 Aww it'll be alright β€οΈ Just take one day at a time. With the minty burn, could you maybe have a spoonful of pudding or maybe a piece of chocolate to soothe your throat?Β
@mytwistedsoul I don't like pudding and can't have chocolate π
@sadcat13
At least you've got a lot more teeth than I have, you can all me goofy...
I unfortunately face planted a rock face descending the Col De Galibier during a cycle race in France when i was just 20, I lost a few, broke many and have been dentally challenged ever sinceΒ ππ
Ouch.
@jesusredeemedme2425
It was a few weeks before i could even say thatΒ π
Wow. :(
@RunningMachine ooof. That must have been such a hard and painful experience. I'm so sorry you went through it. How are your teeth now?
@sadcat13
What teeth ?
I had all the remnants of the top ones extracted 3 years ago, had them rebuilt 3 times over the years but wasn't enough left. I still struggle to eat and talk with my gnashers in, if I hadn't face planted the rock I'd of gone over the edge which would probably of been worse, just a 'racing incident' a chap a few lengths in front lost control and 6 of us went down behind an nowhere else we could go.
I'm fine about, I wouldn't change a minute of my cycle racing days πππ
@sadcat13
Yay. Count me in. My wisdom tooth decided to say hi too. I have a dentist appointment scheduled this week. Wish me luck!

Tis the season I guess lol
@jesusredeemedme2425
I'm so scared lol πππ
@trueconfidant123
@mytwistedsoul

@trueconfidant123 awww. I can feel your pain π you can join my pity party here or invite me to your own π I can bring some mashed potatoes!
Update: the surgery went well. We fished out the tooth in pieces as one of the roots was wavy, but thanks to that I avoided having to deal with the uncomfortable pulling all out at once feelings. For the first time, my anesthetic lasted till I came home (and even a bit longer)
It's completely incomparable to the other bottom tooth or even the top ones where I was in tears on my way to the pharmacy already.
I got the same antibiotics I got last time, but can stop taking them now In 7 days as they made me throw up on day 10 last time. But despite that, they are still the ones I had the least trouble with when it came to pill swallowing.
I am already swollen and a bruise is coming up, but cooling my cheek with a wet fabric handkerchief. I do have a bit of a fever (last time we checked I had 37.5) but I didn't need a second painkiller despite all 3 times my first day was barely crawling to the next dose time. This time, I get to take it 2-3 hours after the minimum wait time, and even then mostly because of the inflammation and swelling it helps with rather than pain. God is giving me a lot of mercy, and I'm so grateful for every minute that passes towards healing without being in excruciating pain like the times before β€οΈ
Waiting for my night antibiotics dose and then I will be going to bed. Will keep you all updated how I'm doing. Thank you for supporting me on this journey π»
You are very funny. I hope you are doing well in this moment!
@sadcat13 π Talk about it as much as you want ^-^ We're here for you.
