Right now, ROFL! You guys are cracking me up with the percocet-inspired Update suggestions! I crashed hard for a few hours and now I am up and my whole jaw is throbbing again. Time for another one!

hermi, late to the party, but happy you dealt w/this. personally, i don't think you need any "help" w/your updates. don't think i've ever taken that drug, but isn't that the one that is highly addictive? sucks that pain back in a few hours. what does the prescription read...how many hours? on second thought....would be interesting to read an update when you are on drugs. wonder if it would have reverse effect? it would make you appear normal? sorry, couldn't resist. ya' know i love you hermi and am kidding, so i won't worry about offending you.

RN I'm so glad you got help, Hermie! The antibiotics will take a while to kick in but when they do you won't need the pain meds anymore. I have to have root canal because of a cavity and I'm really dreading it. But I'm on antibiotics until then.

Right now, HAHAHA! That's what Seamonkey insinuated also. The percocet RX said every 4-6 hours. Thanks to everyone for their well wishes. Twinkie, good luck with your root canal.

RN.. well in your case "normal" isn't necessarily good.. I love you the way you are, which is way better than just normal!! Hope you can sleep lots until the antibiotics kick in.

LOL, I was taking either percocet or vicodin, 2 at a time every 3 hours. I have a high tolerance for pain meds.

Right now, I am remembering that my dentist said to sleep on the side opposite of the infection to help keep the swelling down. Also, I wrapped a few ice cubes in a wash cloth and put that inside a Zip lock baggie. I found that it made a good cold compress and also helped with the swelling and the pain...but I had a LOT of swelling a LOT of pain. I am sure glad you went and got some meds. There is no need to try and tough it out, you aren't going to win. It wasn't going to go away. It was only going to get worse. You did the right thing, Hermie. I am so glad that you went.

RN Yikes! Anything cold inside or outside my infection makes it hurt worse! The heating pad on the other hand makes it feel better. Ginger, I also have a high tolerance for pain meds. I have to take 2 vicodin for it to do any good.

RN I'd like to say congratulations, Auntie Eggie!! RN I'm relatively freaked out, Puss seems to have killed a mouse or something out in the garage I can smell it. The cats keep trying to guide me to a corner of the garage to show me their prize which must be behind the tool bench. Colossus is out of town for a few days and I need to do something about it, but for pete's sake a girl has to set some limits and stick by them, and mine is I do NOT handle dead, stinking rodents. Call me madcap, call me a priss, I don't care. RN I'm thinking of calling Colossus' general manager and telling him to handle the situation. How's that for girl-power?

Right now Goddess ... my dog brought me a mouse not long ago. The poor thing was inside out & my dog was so proud. It was horrible. Get's lot's of paper towels, scoop it up and throw it out. It would bother me more to think of the cats eating it. Yuck!!! Good luck!!

RN, wow didn't see your post when I posted, Eggie.. how exciting!! RN, GAL,if you cannot call in the mounties, they I agree.. you just want a hug gob of paper towels. Or one of those grabber things; they are good at keeping something far away! The only time Criter had contact with a mouse, it was a real one, right in our bedroom in Santa Ana and she was excited but I grabbed it fast, since it was still alive, but sluggish and I was freaked; it was when Hantavirus was in the news for desert areas. It was so cute, I just took it out by the dumpster and let it go.

gal, no don't scoop it up w/paper towels. i tried once several years ago. it felt WARM and...oh, the memory! even the one indoor/ outdoor cat i had several years ago, wouldn't eat a mouse. i'm w/you...call me whatever you like....nope, not going to do it. eta: if the smell gets that bad, then figure out a way to handle the smell. empty a box of tide detergent in the area or something. (this from city gal expert lol)
