WTF OW!

My jaw is hurting so badly right now, I can't even fit a damn plastic spoon with oatmeal on it into my mouth. It hurts so much, I can't even open it that far. I can hardly talk, and even without moving my jaw at all, it hurts. Not being able to talk is one thing --I'm sure plenty of people would say a day of that would do me good-- but not being able to eat!? Even mushy stuff that I wouldn't normally have unless there was a DAMN good reason or a weird craving behind it? WTF!?

I rescheduled my appointment to remove my wisdom teeth from the 24th to the 17th, which is good, but it doesn't help me now, or within the next week, especially if the pain gets worse. To top it off, Grandpa wasn't feeling well himself today, so he's at the doctor's now-- even if I wanted to go home, I'd have no ride and I'd have to walk. Okay, no big deal, but the medicine I want that would make me feel better (the narcotic) is something he doesn't want to give me anymore (it's not like I'm addicted; it just works better than this other stuff he gave me).

Fuck fuck fuck.

I just had mine out today. And I really can't give much advice, because apparently I'm doing like 20 billion times better than my mum and my bro ever did (as my dad put it, they were basket-cases) when they had it done. XD So apparently reactions could be all over the place.

So srsly, major sorry about the jaw thing. O.o Seeing as you won't be able to move it worth a damn for hours after your teeth are out...well. Hopefully you'll be back to normal before then, else you might want to hold it off 'til whatever it is gets cleared up. Don't want more pain than you're already in for.

Were you completely gassed out, or did you have a general and/or local anesthesia? I don't want to be awake for any of it, so I'm going to ask them to put me out completely, and give me the strongest painkiller for my weight that I can handle for after the fact. I don't expect to be singing opera or chewing gum right after I'm done, but I'm hoping I'll at least be able to move my jaw a bit more because the tooth that's angling into my cheek is the wisdom one. In other words, the jaw problem is the same as the wisdom tooth problem.
