I know I know I was out last week and I hate to say this but I'm going to be out again this week. There's a few I haven't talked to in ages and I apologize for that but I feel the need to at least let you all know what's been going on with me lately. I'll probably be on MSN the most this week but not on the forums, I'll tell you why to that as well shortly.
But to make a long story as short as possible:
I had three teeth extracted (removed completely) from my mouth last tuesday. It would have been done two weeks before that but my denist refused to due to the fact one of those said three teeth was infected. That infected tooth alone has been the cause of my constant migranes and headaches, the seriously bad toothache that rendered me in so much pain I couldn't work for a week out of the two when this all started. Yet with the removal of the three teeth (two wisdom teeth and the infected one *two on the top and one on the bottom* -- was on a lot of meds to get rid of the infection that put me to sleep big time) there came something else to cause me to be out of work last week and now this week.
What is that one thing?
S-T-I-T-C-H-E-S!!, Yes, Stitches.. I have god knows how many stitches in my mouth right now and to be frank it hurts like heck. Dentist had to wrap the thread around one of my good teeth at the top of my mouth to keep my gum together so it healed properly where one of the teeth had been removed (The infected one at that!). Meaning in order to get one of those three teeth out she had to split my gum. Thus I'm racked with pain because my gums have been swelling day in and day out because of the thread of the stitches wrapped around that one tooth. To make matters worse I'm on a "Soft Food Diet" until further notice.
You know...
Soup, Pudding, Jello, Apple Sauce, Ice cream, cream of wheat and so on. I can't eat any cereal, no chips, no hot dogs and stuff -_-. So You all know what that means.. I'm in pain, full of meds left and right, sleeping so much it's annoying and hungry because I'm barely eating anything. Can't live off of soup and pudding ...and jello! I want real food for once. *cries* I can't even eat a slice of bread without my gums swelling up in irratation!
...and like I said..
I can't work either like this so I haven't been to work in a week.
haven't really been online because my meds makes me seriously sleepy. I mean I take the meds and 10 to 20 minutes later I'm sleep without warning in my comp chair (or the dinning room table chair lol). When I am awake my gum is swollen and I have to find something to do just to keep my mind off the pain because I have to wait 8 hours between taking my meds for each dose T_T
So yea.. Out for yet another week.
If anyone wants to catch me and talk for a bit I'll be on msn messenger: swp_petz@hotmail.com
If you're talking to me one minute and the next I don't reply I apologize in advance, it means I've dozed off from the meds. If you contact me and I don't reply at all the first time.. again chances are I am sleep cause of meds. But feel free to leave a message so when I wake up I can return it if you're on.

P.S.
The Stitches get removed today but I can't work this week because my gums will still be swelling on and off -- and my folks want to make sure I get rest and food as much as possible.
