The worst part for me was they gave me Tylenol III -- the prescription with codeine. I spent a day or two crying and nauseated, and finally told my mom I wasn't taking them anymore.

Timelies all!

Got woken up at 6 by Mr. S. ugh...

I took the tylenol with codeine home and saved for cramps, because I didn't need it after the wisdom teeth came out. But mine weren't urgent, so the procedure was pretty easy. (I did it for money as part of a tylenol study, post college.)

Mine were after college (Vortex picked me up after!) and I remember taking the Vicodin, and the last one I took I was like "huh, I guess I could see why people abuse these, maybe? I guess I didn't really need this one" :)

Was supposed to have a puppy play date, but canceled because of the rain (the park will be a muddy mess) which was good because I did not drink enough water last night during the spa experience and woke up with a headache. Got up and had breakfast, and then went back to bed. Puppy is being very sweet and sleepy with me. I woke up a few hours ago and proceeded to watch tiktok for two hours. Probably not good for me.

Chatting with an NP friend around the fire pit last night and I mentioned your daughter's nose dive, Cindy -- she said she'd had 10 patients this week who hit the floor and said it's not unusual at all. She laughed because when they started giving the HPV vax however many years ago, there was this same "is there something wrong with the vax?" reaction from people, but that's just what we humans do after being stuck with a needle, sometimes.

My sister called the oral surgeon and fixed it so that when they finally coaxed me into the chair for a "check up" they whipped out the teeth. Since I get sick if I am in the same neighborhood as anesthesia or any opioid, my revenge was throwing up in her car all the way home. Sucker!

I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled at once. I kept one because I had already lost the back tooth so there was room. They gave me IV valium. I swear I would have been agreeable to them taking off my limbs one at a time. That was some awesome stuff. The next day and a few days after however were misery. I was particularly distraught because my husband at the time had zero issues when he had his out. He was a radio announcer and was on the air the next day. Grrr, not fair. 40+ years ago and I still am jealous.

First vaccine shot, whooo!

And now I’m trying to not engage with the person who left a kinda-sorta anti-vaccine comment on my vaccination selfie. I looked at their page, and damn. They are full-on anti vaccination, masks, and believe a lot of science taught “to our children!” Is, uh, fake news.

Well, I will be delighted for you!

Woo hoo, Atropa!

If she'd keeled right after the shot, Sparky, I wouldn't have been as concerned (since she fainted during a blood draw once). It was that it was 10 or 11 hours later that seemed weird, but she's perfectly fine, and her more normal shot #2 side effects passed in a day or two.

Casper had a bad night with post-Pfizer dose 2 fever. My favorite part was when she said, teary, "I feel like a little bitch" (for being sick, apparently.)
