ION, whining: I had emergency dental work today. I cracked a tooth last week, and had it removed today. I've never been through this before, I hate the feeling of the gauze in my mouth, and I'm paranoid I'll do something wrong with the aftercare. WHINING.
None of it means a damn thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I will admit I did not have the patients to read the hieroglyph things in wikepedia, so thank you
All you have to do is hover, and it tells you how they're pronounced.

Good to know. I clicked the link and it took me to a huge translation table.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I hate the feeling of the gauze in my mouth, and I'm paranoid I'll do something wrong with the aftercare.
You'll heal fine. Just follow their instructions and enjoy the narcotics. (I know, I loathe the gauze feeling too.) And call them if you have questions. They are likely more than used to it and you won't spiral stress.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Got back from GAFilk last night, and have now caught up. Con was good. Much music was heard, many people were hugged, and I bought books and earrings.

I am one big ball of grinding ache and I resent the hell out of it. Plus tomorrow is going to suck. I have to be in early to get a ball rolling, then be there late to wrap things up. With a dentist visit in the middle at the worst possible time (unless there is a cancellation and can squeeze me in earlier.) I made the appt late in the day so I could go home from there. Of course, this stupid installation had to end up landing on that day.
CRANK.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
ION, whining: I had emergency dental work today. I cracked a tooth last week, and had it removed today. I've never been through this before, I hate the feeling of the gauze in my mouth, and I'm paranoid I'll do something wrong with the aftercare. WHINING.
Here is my tip for post-tooth-extraction care: if you continue to have a little bleeding past the time point when it "should" be done (or at least "should" be done according to the dentist's cookie-cutter Ideal Patient Prognosis), brew a bag of any kind of black tea, let the bag cool to lukewarm, wring it out, then place it on the newly toothless area, and bite down gently (or hold it with your finger; depending on where the tooth was, biting is easier) and keep it there for a minute or 2. Repeat if necessary.
After I had a tooth pulled (mine cracked, too), I was apparently going to bleed just a tiny bit, FOREVER. The Internets yielded the black tea trick, and it worked a charm.
Also? Take the painkillers.
