Dental Woos and Boos

[valkryor]

I've had two nights of decent sleep. Woo!

I wake up feeling stuffed up with a scratchy throat. Boo!

After being up for a while and a decent amount of water, it clears up. Woo!

Tried to nap yesterday, and still had to rely on the cold water trick for pain. Boo!

Antibiotics doing what they do is an awesome thing. Woo!

Motrin, however, knocks me for a loop. Boo!

I can now eat warm food without spiking pain lancing through my jaw. Woo!

If I don't take it slow or be mindful of which side I'm chewing on, owie. Boo!

I got a craptonne of stuff done yesterday. Paul's head, shaved! Bathroom, cleaned! Declan's laundry, done (and folded, and put away)! Woo!

That's more woos than boos, so I'm gonna take it. Today, I'm not planning on doing much more than maybe some reading and possibly working on a scarf I have going right now. Oh, I should fix my headphones. Whatever glue they used to keep the two pieces of the ear pad together is failing and it's an easy enough fix: I just have to hand stitch it shut at the seam. (Okay, technically, Paul bought the headphones for his last trip to Vancouver, but I have since claimed them as my own because the pads fit OVER my ears and I can wear them for hours comfortably, which is a bit of a rarity with most designs.)

Sleep makes everything more tolerable, as does some form of control for dental pain! Woo for the woos! :D

So grateful that we're not, as a society, beyond effective antibiotic use. I can't even imagine how AWFUL the past week would have been with the pain as it was.

I have FREQUENTLY stopped to be grateful that we live in a time of both antibiotics and painkillers! Game. Changers.
