Today I am grateful for my cousin Bryan.
He just graduated from dental school (in NYC) and moved here to find a job. As luck would have it, my aunt sent an email out last week stating that he was officially working here. Well, yesterday Traeden and I had a dentist appointment to have some cavities fixed. I've had them done lots of times, so it was no big deal...or so I thought.
As the Novocaine wore off, I was in so much pain. It eventually got so bad that I started to cry. Which made my head hurt. I took 800 mg ibuprofen, 1000 mg of Tylenol, and a couple other meds to try and stop the pain-but nothing worked. With my injections, I was cautioned to be careful of certain medicines so I didn't want to try anything more without talking to a professional.
It was 6:30 last night and I decided that I needed help. So I decided to call and harass my cousin. I HATE doing that too. I hate using people I know for things, especially after normal business hours. But I was dying (OK, I know I would live), so I called him. He was kind enough to listen to my situation and offer some advise.
Today I am so grateful to him. I am still in a lot of pain-I can't open my mouth that wide and I can't chew anything, but I am doing so much better. And I have him to thank. So
"Thank you Bryan!"
I promise that I won't take advantage of you again-unless I feel like I am going to dye-again!

What??? Seriously?? I am so sad that you have been in so much pain!
I hate to say it.. but if the big meds are not working.. you may have to have a root canal. I have seen this same thing on 3 different blogs.. and no matter how many times they went back to the dentist for adjustments and such.. the root canal was the only answer.
I hope yours isn't that bad..
I am so sorry about the pain and the headaches!! Hope you get feeling better soon! -Suzanne
I am sorry you are going through this. That sucks.
With my sister becoming a nurse. I kind of abuse her. I ask her about everything. I can abuse her because she is my sister, right? I probably shouldn't. I am glad you have your cousin to help you out.
