Hope it heals quickly.... poor Rick! Nothing worse than mouth pain, cuz it makes it so hard to eat! (NT) -- V~, 7:04:59 pm, Mon, 07/02/07
Good grief, Kate, that sounds like what happened to me (many, many years ago) when I had my wisdom teeth pulled. It was a Friday and I spent the weekend in abject pain, unable to open my mouth enough to even get the pain pills in. I called in sick to work on the following Monday and called the dentist. Same thing........large hole and some "stuff" had gotten stuck in the hole. They cleaned it out while I cried and I was sent home with instructions to rinse, rinse, rinse. I just remember that I was totally miserable for over a week. I did go back to work on that Tuesday but had to take several hours every afternoon to go lay down in the ladies lounge with a heating pad. So I do understand and believe me, Rick has my sympathy and compassion. I hope he feels better quickly.......although for him, it's probably not quickly enough.

Aww, not that a dry socket is good but it could have been relieved! Vicodin! Take me away!!!!!!!!! LOL Hope he is feeling better soon. I spent years with tooth troubles and feel for anyone with this going on. Don't miss tooth aches one bit! (NT) -- Denise, 8:23:56 pm, Mon, 07/02/07
Aaahhh, Denise. You make me giggle! I just love your "Vicodin! Take me away!!" In my case, it's more "Hydrocodone!! Take me away!!" Unfortunately, it doesn't take me far *enough* away! (NT) -- Sandy, 6:00:07 am, Tue, 07/03/07
