The hang out...

This was really horrible. I swear they stuck her at least 50 times, I lost count after 15. Some of the teeth broke as the dentist was extracting them, and he had to drill them out. She got immediate dentures, as they took the impressions 2 weeks ago. She has to leave them in until she goes back to the dentist next tuesday.
I took her home from the dentist, and dropped off the prescription at Walmart. They told me they would be ready in less than an hour. So, 45 minutes after I get her home, I go back to Walmart to pick up her meds. When the numbing stuff wore off, I was at Walmart getting her prescriptions for the antibiotic and the pain killer. She called me while I was in line to pay. She was screaming and crying on the phone, telling me to hurry. The pain she is in is off the scale. I gave her a pain pill as soon as I walked in the door. It had no effect, so we gave her another one. She is only supposed to take one every 4 hours, but they wear off after less than 2 hours. After the pain pills finally kicked in, she decided to lay down and try to sleep. She had her head slightly elevated, but not enough. She bled all over the bed and herself. I am changing the gauze pads for her mouth very frequently, and it seems that the bleeding has finally subsided now.
She is in bed right now, 1 room away from me, crying and moaning in pain. She still has another hour before I can give her another pain pill. Her face is very swollen, but I did expect that. She had all of her upper teeth removed, and all the molars and the canines on the bottom.
Both of her sisters came by to check on her this afternoon. They tried to comfort her the best they could. This has not been an easy day. :(

That is just heartbreaking.

I am pondering what to type because nothing I could say would even come close to how reading this made me feel, and I am sure it does not even come close to how you feel considering it is your daughter, your heart and soul, your baby.

...

Tiger1, I am with Psych on this, what to say? Ugh, I'm sorry you two have to go through this.

Regarding food: I am no stranger to extractions, in fact I had a molar yanked out of my head 46 hours ago.
Since last Friday I have been living on pea soup.
Just whole dried peas, bullion and spices boiled for 4 hours, adding more water as needed, then some hot sauce and water with it in the blender and voilà, drinkable green food!
Getting tired of it, but I still can't chew a thing.
Even though, I didn't respond earlier, you were/are both in my prayers.

GEE, I hope YOU feel better Wisc Natureboy.
I got lots of canned soup over here. I ran out of pudding, but her appetitite is not too good. I will make a run to get some more soft foods tomorrow.
FYI, my favorite soup, next to vegetarian vegetable, is Split Pea and Ham ! :)

I do most of my homemade soups in the winter. It really warms the house up real nice, with that big pot on the stove cooking all day. :) I can actually turn my furnace off during most of the day, when I got a big pot cooking.

Yeah, soups are best in Winter.
My tooth issue hastened the season. LoL.

I never realized until today how much I LOVE my laptop. A little screen popped up that said I needed to buy a new battery, and then it died. I had a miniature panic attack. Not only do I use it for pleasure, but alot of my work is on it. I just ordered a new battery, and am having it shipped over night. A few years ago I didn't even have a laptop. My, how dependent we are on technology!

What's important to me I either print, or store on a 500 GB external hard disc, so in case anything happens to my laptop it's not the end of the world.

A well-known Dutch writer had his pc stolen a couple of years ago, with 200 pages of his new novel on it. And no, he didn't make a back-up...

I do not have too much to save, so I put my "can't do withouts" on a flash drive.

how big is it?

I'm doing well. We're getting ready for Hurricane Issac. I love to watch the storms come in...great movie weather!

The craziest thing happened to me last night. At 3:45 AM, my family woke up to hear someone beating on our door. We were sure it was a robber. When we looked out the window, it was the police. They were shining big spotlights in our windows, and some had guns drawn. Our house and yard were lit up like the fourth of July. We were so scared, and had no idea what was going on. When my husband went downstairs to talk to them, they started asking if we were OK. They said that they received a 911 call from our house. We told them that not only did we not call, but that our phone was off the hook. It was storming, and they said the storm could have caused our phone to connect to 911 somehow. They said they thought we were possibly being held hostage. Maybe they're telling the truth, but something about that just doesn't add up to me. We invited them to come in, but they declined. After they left, I was still shaking. It was a terrifying experience!
