Nitrous oxide TO THE MAX or I ain't going!

I tried it once. The poor girl that was the technician come and got it away from me, quickly. I had looked at the ceiling an then went into a state of pure terror, which is then where she went too. Guess I'm wired too screwy to let NOX do what it does for like, everybody else. *smh* I dunno.

NOX didn't work for me either. I had a full blown panic attack right there in the chair. My dentist noted in my chart..no more Nitrous Oxide in red.

It's my #1 favorite buzz, hands down. My son and I fight over whippits, when the can of whipped cream is done.

It does kinda fuck with your heart rate, but to me it's pure euphoria.

I was born in 56 and grew up with b&w tv that had an outside antenna that you had to physically turn until the station you wanted to see came in clear. Then my dad bought an antenna with a box on top of the tv that you turned the dial until the station was clear. We had 3 channels that we could pick up. I was 11 before we got a color tv and we were the first on our block to have one. Almost the entire neighborhood came to watch Hee Haw in color. I've been to friends houses and had to use the outhouse if I needed to use the bathroom while I was there. Now, I have a fridge, a cell and a stove. Growing up, everything was cooked on or in the stove.

The last wisdom tooth I had pulled was about a year ago...was just given a local anesthesia, didn't feel a thing. He showed me the tooth. I didn't even know he'd pulled it yet. It sure hurt like hell when I arrived at his office tho. I was bracing for the worse, it didn't arrive. Must have been lucky is the only thing I thought. Suppose the length of the root has a lot to do with things.

These young whippersnappers don't know what they missed do they?

 

[JuicyLucy]

These young whippersnappers don't know what they missed do they?

My family did not believe in upgrades.

My grandpa was PISSED in the early 90s when his son rewired the phone lines in the house he built in 1933 so he could hook up to.... the Information Super Highway!

Mainly he was mad because my uncle tossed the only phone in the house, which was black and weighed about five pounds. It still had the piece of paper under bakelite to let you know the exchange was Lucern 6789

That phone still worked so it was nothing but a waste to replace it

I truly wish it was 1956 again, I'd do a lot of things differently..........

So would I but then I think that if I did things differently, I probably wouldn't have my 2 kids and grandson now so I think not.

 

[Atchafalaya]

Don't know about you guys, but don't think Atcha is being whimpy at all - that was some BS!

Thanks. It was a rough night. I finally called their emergency after hours number and spoke with the oncall doctor. She sounded shocked that they didn't prescribe any antibiotics or pain killers. I'm in miserable pain. It'll take a few more hours, but I'll get some Tylenol 3

 

[AndriaD]

I think this a lot, too; the best cure for regrets is to finally have a decent life -- I'm in a good place in my life now, so it's very hard to regret any of the really stupid things I did in the past, or I might not be where I am, now. True, my life might be *better*, but there's no way to know -- it might even be worse! I'm grateful for the life I have now, and that's sufficient, even with all the insane turns I took to get here. Good song about that by Rascal Flatts -- "God bless the broken road". Another great one by Garth Brooks - "Unanswered Prayers".

Same here. I cannot have that stuff. I'm not even supposed to have epi but I told them go ahead and use it. I shake like a leaf and my heart races. Geez, I just can't believe I didn't even get antibiotics. Usually they give me 4 before they start working on me since I have a prolapse.

Wow I'm jealous! It hurt SO bad and they even popped my crown off in the process. I'm so miserable. But the doc just called and she called in the script. So I'm going to go get dressed and I can run out the door.
I appreciate all you guys. And thanks for letting me vent.

You're lucky!!! In GA, for any prescription of narcotics, they have to actually hand you the written prescription so you can physically hand it to the pharmacist -- no phoning, no faxing permitted with "controlled" drugs.

Worse in KY. You also have to take a drug test before the prescribing.
And I do not think that regular doctors can have refills on narcotic prescriptions.

I had my wisdom teeth pulled, all at the same time (Ty Uncle Sam!). They gave horse pills of Fucking Motrin. Lol

I'm more wanting the antibiotics than the pain killers, but heck, I'll take both.
Had a weird dream last night that I didn't have any vape gear and had to wait on an order from Fasttech.

That's all I got when I had mine taken out as well. 800mg of ibuprofen. I declined the prescription because 4 little pills were easier to take that that 1 huge one. But..the ibuprofen worked. I had the 2 top ones taken out on Friday, was at the mall shopping on Saturday.

Maybe I'm just freaking out too much then. I've never had a tooth pulled before and I guess just the thought really freaked me out. I'm feeling better now. Last night wasn't much fun but oh well. I really think it's more the infection causing the pain than the actually tooth being pulled. But the antibiotics will take care of that.

For me, I find that ibuprofen works better than anything else, EXCEPT FOR 1) migraines (tylenol works better for that),l and 2) burns -- a combination of ibuprofen + hydrocodone works better than ibuprofen alone. I got a really nasty 2nd-degree burn on the top of my left middle finger, around the nail, and ibuprofen helped, but not quite enough; fortunately I still have almost the whole bottle of hydrocodone left from the appendectomy, so I took one of those too, and the pain finally eased enough that I could get to sleep.

Atcha, just make sure you don't eat something that may have little bits to get into the hole. Dry sockets are the PITS!!!

With my migraines I use Excedrin. Knocks it out in a skinny minute. Of course then I'm bouncing off the walls due to the caffeine overload but at least the headache is gone. I can't/won't do narcotics. Like you already know, narcotics, like alcohol, it only takes one to send you back down that slide back into hell. I always have an aloe plant in the kitchen for burns but I've never had a 2nd degree burn.

Dudette! I do NOT envy that. 2 people at work get those nasty bastages! I've only had one migraine my whole life and never want another again!!!
Geez, still waiting on a call from the pharmacy. I'm going to head there anyway and sit and wait.

My mom had migraines so she passed them down to me. In turn, I passed them on to my son.

Yeah I keep an aloe growing at all times, but it didn't help that burn much at all. Narcotics never caused me any problem, though I liked the sensation, back when I was into that sort of thing. But now that I've been sober for so long, I find that I dislike that spinning-head sensation INTENSELY -- but it did what I wanted it to, it helped me sleep, and I was grateful!

I only took a couple of those hydrocodones with the appendectomy, because I suffered night sweats terribly after that, and the doc suggested it was most likely the narcotics that caused it -- so I never took another, went to ibuprofen for what little pain I had -- after that laparoscopic surgery, the nausea was worse than the pain, by FAR.

[Atchafalaya]

The pharmacy called. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

 

[The Cromwell]

I took hydrocodone as needed for back pain for 12 years.
The new law in KY cut me off cold turkey. No with drawls of any type nor cravings except for pain management.
Never got any buzz or anything from them either just some fair pain relief.

Morning yall and GFY!

@Atchafalaya. be easy on using the vape gear. They tell you not to smoke after geting a tooth pulled because you will suck all the juice out of the tooth hole from sucking on the cig. Lite easy drages from your vapes girl. Dry socket is a mofo. Had a tooth pulled once then went offshore the next day. Couple days later they had to fly me back to land because of dry socket. It hurts real bad.
