I'm so sorry I haven't been posting or keeping up with things! I haven't forgotten about any of you or your feathered babies. A lot went on the passed two weeks so I haven't had much free time. I'll have plenty of free time the rest of this week as I just had all 4 wisdom teeth removed. I'm a little sore, I'm sure it will be worse tomorrow but I'm in good spirits as always. I'm telling myself I will make a speedy recovery so let's hope that's what happens. Lucy must know something is wrong because she's been watching me from her cage making the cutest sounds ever. Which reminds me, I have plenty of Lucy and Bonnie&Clyde updates which will be coming soon!

Crazy, I had mine removed too. I didn't feel too much pain, only when I had to put more gauze in.

Get better fast, Lisa. I'm surprised your dentist did all four teeth at once. OUCH!! I had mine out when I was in my early 20's, but they did them two and two, a couple of weeks apart.

Thank you! I chose to do all four but they recommended it. I feel like bionic woman because I'm in no pain other than soreness and I know I can't chew. I have no interest in taking the pain killers because when I broke my back a few years ago the painkillers messes with my digestive system. Unfortunately for my back surgery I would wake up exactly every 4 hours due to pain and had to take them. I did end them early though. I don't think I'm going to use them at all really for my mouth. Unless I absolutely need it. A little soreness never killed anyone!

Painkillers can be very helpful, but they can also cause an awful lot of trouble for an awful lot of people. When I had Natey via c-section, I thought I could tough out the post-surgery pain, and didn't take the painkillers the nurses brought me. I felt okay. Later I didn't. I tried to get up to take a shower and thought I would die. I actually had to pull that cord for help in the shower. The nurse was NOT happy with me for braving the pain without meds. I took them meekly and obediently after that. Once I was released to go home, though, I cut my dose in half for the first couple of days and then threw the rest out. I'd rather take it easy and tough out some pain than get hooked on pain meds.

Well the good news is I made it!! No pain meds! But I didn't tough anything out it just so happens I'm not in any pain for whatever reason. My cheeks are huge but that's ok! Once I get home from work (they already put me back on -_-) I'll have to post a nice video that should get everyone excited!

So glad you're feeling well.
I have to say that I have found hydrocodone to be a lifesaver when I am in pain. Fortunately, I have never become dependent on it. I think that is because I have never taken them around the clock. But, I would never, never throw any extra away. On those rare days when I have overdone something (like gardening) it's great to have one to get me over the hump. It works so much better than ibuprofen or acetaminefin. Fortunately, I now have a doctor who understands. He prescribed ten for me back in February to take as needed. I have only used two of them. But, when I needed them, I was so glad they were there.
I personally feel upset at all the uproar about prescription pain killers, which makes it so hard to get them.
