I gots stitches in my mouth. I'm shamelessly looking for sympathy.

Spent a couple of hours with my dentist this morning, dealing with the result of having a gap under a crown so that stuff could get in and cause decay beneath the gumline. I won't go into detail, but I'm feeling whiney and have to eat a fairly liquid diet for a week. Hmph.

1. You went to the dentist?

Then I thnk a little whining is permitted. :hug:

[nolabear]

2. *sigh* Only one sympathy so far. What if I said Dick Cheney was my dentist?

[Captain Hilts]

3. Here you go...here's some sympathy. nt

[abq e streeter]

4. You definitely have mine, and not just because I'll be in the same situation

in January or February...

[Moondog]

5. You have mine.

Had a similar procedure once. Not fun. And, as you say, you have to live on slop for a few days afterwards. I decided that I hated slop, and would rather lose a few pounds. So that's what I did. But that's just me.

Hope you recover quickly, and feel better soon.

6. Oh that sucks. . You hav emy wholehearted sympathy. .

bleahch. .I can just feel the stitches. . And you're tongue just won't stay away from them, right?

[sarge43]

7. Here ya go, girl

:hug:

Trust me, it beats a root canal.

8. Much sympathy from me Nolabear!

Have lived through lots of dental horrors so I know where you're coming from, poor soul! Take your pain meds and sleep through as much of the first day or two as you can. Then you'll be through the worst of it!

That's the strategy I always use. :hi:

9. Thank you *sniff* thank you all. Especially now the drugs are wearing off.

Really, though, I'm doing okay. MAN, having your body messed with like that is stressful!

[Catshrink]

10. Ouch! Hope you feel better.

mouth surgery and stitches are no fun. Cheer up though, she could be your dentist!

[nolabear]

11. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[david13]

12. Oh come on, I been thru' that also. No big deal. Remember the only

thing worse than dental work, is not getting dental work.
Let me clarify that, do you realize how many people in this world go thru' life and can never afford to see a dentist, other than for extractions, which they then must live with (missing teeth?). I have a suspicion it is more than 1/2 the world's population.
You should be grateful, happy as a clam and aware of your privileged position on this planet.
