A little better. Tried some Tylenol PM, and it was a little scary. The label says to be careful if you have any breathing difficulties. I can see why. The pills dried me out so bad, my tongue was stuck to the roof of my mouth. Fortunately, before I went to bed I had filled a large glass with water. I'm so glad it was right there, because I don't know if I could have gotten up to get a drink of water. It was unsettling. My nose was plugged up too and I could hardly breathe. Yikes!
I sat up for awhile, drinking almost all the water in the large cup (probably 16 ounces).
Well .. I did notice one thing .. there was no pain in my jaw for the first time in over a week. I loved that part, but the dehydrated part was a bummer. I have decided to use only 1 capsule tonight. I did get some much needed rest, and it's the first day I have not had to lay down for over half the day because of the intense pain.
Another lesson I have learned .. having all this dental work done at one time (4 root canals and a pulled tooth) was maybe not such a great idea.
Thanks for asking about me - I've missed being here so much, but I did have a chance to work more on my book today. I am feeling impressed to get it finished quickly.

I didn't know Tylenol PM could do that. I've never taken it but will rem. that. I haven't seen that type of label on a bottle before,either.
But I am glad you got some rest. That's an important part of healing. Good thing it's over!
Did you ever tell me what your book is about? I'd love to hear about it! (I'm an author too)
