“Make sure that you don't go too far with the pain pills. We need your wit around here. Get better.”

I take one every four hours and sometimes I'm watching the minutes due to the high pain level.

Except for telling the dentist to use a chain saw right now, my wit is on stand-by. Dentist said in a case like this when office isn't open, to call the office and his cell phone number is on there and call him. Said I didn't want to bother him on a weekend and he laughed and said it happens all the time.

The throb is coming back and I've got an hour to go before I take another pain pill so turned on heating pad.

I found I could get by with less hydrocodone by taking ibuprofen in between taking the serious stuff, IF the pain was under control. My dentist said that this strategy does indeed work.
