Quick-recover~ma, Hil!
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Biting on gauze is getting annoying.

A wet teabag will help stop the bleeding, or so one dentist told me, but the annoying factor is still high.

No more gauze -- bleeding stopped enough. I'm now very carefully eating applesauce. Later on, I might go so far as rice noodles. Maybe over-cooked pierogies. I've also got a pint of soy ice cream in the freezer.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

That was the only thing that stopped the bleeding after my pulled tooth, when I continued to have bleeding (minor; more of an oozing, really) for 8+ hours.
IIRC, it needs to be black tea, not green or hippie fruit tea, because the tannins in the black tea are what make the capillaries contract. (Or -- does green tea have tannins? I don't know, because I don't like/drink it.)

Gah. Got applesauce in the empty tooth socket. Novocaine is still sort of there, so it didn't hurt, just felt really weird.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Eek, Hil. Good luck over the next couple days.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm glad the extraction went ok. I hope the pain stays manageable, Hil.

Hil, you should go get the Vicodin just in case. With your history you'll be glad you had a few in the medicine cabinet.

Trust my rage
My dad asks for Percoset with every dental procedure, just to have some on hand for other pain issues he deals with.
