I'm so sorry to vent and the OT but I'm going out of my skin. I had a
back molar extracted the other day and it was a deep root so the
extraction site is still in a lot of pain despite the painkillers, which
I don't think I can take anymore. Making my face and nose itch too much.
Now I keep biting the inside of my cheek on the other side of my mouth,
I guess trying to keep anything from touching the painful side. I can't
stand this! OUCH and OUCH OUCH.

Ok, I'm done now.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Cheryl. You have already had *more* than your
fair share of pain. How is the tooth now? If you are still in pain, I hope
you will call your dentist (and possibly your physician) *today.* This just
doesn't sound right.

Ironically (and not really OT), you are familiar with my wonderful blind
cat, Duffy. Last December, he stopped eating and I was very worried. He
had had a clean bill of health just a few months earlier. However, the vet
discovered that he needed to have two molars extracted. When he was under
anesthetic, the vet discovered that one of the molars was rotted clear down
to the bone. Duffy still did not eat for two or three days after the
extraction, and we thought that was due to pain from the surgery. Then, he
suddenly began to eat again and was back to being "his old (and fantastic)
self." So, I can certainly understand how you would still be suffering
after your surgery, but I hope you really will follow up and call your
dentist if you are not back to normal by now.
