Kid 1 has complications following wisdom tooth removal surgery. She has an infection and possibly a dry socket and is in a lot of pain. She went for the follow up, and the dentists basically gave her a stronger amoxylin, and that’s it.
Fence guys may or may not be coming to replace fence, because Granddog Artha escaped again and today Charles Tubbins squeezed his fat butt through the same fence. Why would you take out a perfectly good wooden fence and replace it with iron fence that is clearly improperly installed? Why? They actually pierced a pipe when they put that fence in and then patched it up badly, so we ended up with a leak in the garage.
I just sent this email, offered here without context, “As long as we can get him to do that Mr. MacBroodypants look he did in that one shot, nobody will care about her shoes.”
We have less than 70 pages left on Kate’s edit. We will need betas soon. Unfortunately these 70 pages are super labor intensive.
Send tea and chocolate.
PS. Do not send tea and chocolate. That was a figurative appeal. All gifts will be returned unopened. I am not kidding.
Send me your fax and I’ll fax you the cookies. Tea you’ll have to source yourselves.
Nothing for the pain? Good God, that’s not okay. I’m taking Tylenol in her honor. And drinking tea and eating cookies in yours.
Look at those ears! And a pink collar to boot, all ready for an unescorted walk about the neighborhood.
Oh no, so sorry about the wisdom tooth pain! I hope she feels better soon.
Here for Mr. MacBroodypants! Also sending you some virtual tea and chocolate. I’ve recently discovered a Filipino artisan chocolate brand called Auro, and it’s so good.
for pain try alternating Tylenol and ibuprofen – you have to alternate them and keeping up with the different times of when to take and when it was taken can be wearisome to keep up with but I’ve heard you get better otc pain relief – look on the web for how to alternate them.
RE: wisdom teeth-I’m sorry I didn’t see this post yesterday. Both my girls ended up with dry sockets even though they were both religious with their aftercare. Their oral surgeon inserted pain strips right in the socket- painful for a few seconds to insert, but instant relief. They left them in for a couple days, then the doctor removed them, and they were fine. My advice is to go back to their doctor.
yes,,, worked for me as well, smelled like cloves. 🙂
Clove oil can help with dry socket,
What I was going to suggest.
? ???? ?
Had dry socket when a student many years ago. Worse than original pain. Never want to go through that again. Was worse because you think the pain is over with extraction and it comes roaring back, worse. Hope Kid 1 gets relief soon.
Sending virtual tea and chocolate (only the best!) Take care of yourself and HUGS.
Hope your kid is feeling better soon. We have had a lot of success with the salt water rinses and also the alternating of Tylenol and Advil. If she does the medicines I recommend that she has paper and pen and write down when she takes each type so she can easily keep track.
Good luck with the fence.
Because of metabolic issues have terrible teeth. Sending so much positive energy. What helped me were hot moist towels under my jaw and Vicks under my nose. Dogs keep us sharp. You got this.
Avid fan I love your books.
Never combine tylenol with advil – risk liver damage. Talk to the doctor about better pain relief.
I recently had 10 dental implants. Only had about four hours discomfort. I used SAMe to manage inflamation and Advil for pain.
Lef.org SAMe has lots of published studies from peer review journals. SAMe is used to manage bone inflamation & pain, and reactive depression. Articles in Lef discussed dosing
Hope your kid feels better soon.
Not True! It’s Tylenol with Percocet, Vicodin, Norco, or Darvocet that will gork your liver and kill you.
Advil is an non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, does not affect the liver the way Tylenol does. Physicians’ use them together postoperatively all the time. Recently even more than usual to decrease opioid prescribing.
My dad practiced dentistry for more than 50 years. My summer job was to work at his office. He always prescribed salt water soaks and moist tea bags whenever he extracted a tooth. The tannic acid in the tea promotes clotting and pain relief. Moisten a tea bag with warm water, place over the socket area and bite down. Good luck that your daughter has a quick recovery.
I had dry sockets after my wisdom teeth and the oral surgeon (via phone, because he was in St. Louis and I was back at college in Kansas City) recommended I put a chunk of gauze soaked in clove oil over the hole where the tooth was and bite down. It hurt like heck to begin with, then it really helped the pain.
Good luck to you all.
Oh betas, me, me!!

Artha has the face of an adventurer/explorer. My Georgie-girl (named after Curious George for her antics as a pup) never outgrew her wanderlust. Good luck until you get better fencing.
I’ve been in fencing for 30+ years, its easy to hit an underground utility. Most mark out services only mark out from the street to where the service enters your home. Anything like sprinklers, gas lines for pool heaters or grills its just guessing on where they are unless the owner lets you know. But fixing a sprinkler line is easy and cheap no excuse there. Suggestion on the fence, it its aluminum make sure its good quality some of the brands out there (for example Barrette (Activeyards)) are super cheesy and you can literally bend the pickets your dog will squeeze right out. If you get Chain link make sure to ask for a bottom rail helps to keep the dog from pushing the bottom of the wire fabric out. Wood fence is good but prices on Cedar are thru the roof and spruce only last 10/15 yrs and it greys really dark. Vinyl depends on the brand like the aluminum and the style used some are cheesy some are great but the better brands (Bufftech/Certainteed) are pricey course they look amazing 🙂 Good luck!
