Current mood: annoyed
Subject: I really think the oral surgeons just try to piss me off...
Woke up at 4:30 this morning, unable to get back to sleep because of throbbing pain. Took 1 painkiller, read magazines (compliments of Ali!) for an hour, no better. Took another painkiller, finally fell asleep.

Was awoken at 9:00 to take first pill of the day "with food," but seeing as I'd eaten with the painkillers and wasn't hungry, I didn't eat much. Went back to sleep.

Was awoken again at 10:00 for second pill, then told that I had to begin using hot packs for 5-7 minutes while moving my jaw around 3 times a day.

So here I am, it's only 1:30 in the afternoon, and I've taken 4 pills, used a hot pack for 5 minutes while moving my jaw, (which is REALLY ANNOYING) brushed my teeth and used the oral rinse, AND squirted the oral rinse through the little thing all in my mouth.

DOESN'T THIS SEEM A LITTLE UNNECCESSARY?! It's not like they took out a vital organ, for gosh sakes!

If they took a vital organ, you probably wouldn't NEED painkillers as you'd most likely be dead.
But wisdom teeth WERE vital back when we were Neanderthals. So blame Lucy the Austrailopithicus for giving you crappy genes!
how long does the whole oral regime last?

hahaha! i guess i meant like 'organ' and not 'vital organ'...loss of vital organ=death...i'm a smart one!

I'm taking 6 pills a day through Monday, and then using the oral rinse until that runs out too! Hot packs 3 times a day until Sunday. Fun stuff...except not.

EEK! Today I'll have taken 8 pills by the end of the day (or even more if I need another dose of painkillers!!)

yes, yes it does
I don't remember any one saying they had to do all that crap when they got their wisdom teeth removed
