I had my wisdom teeth removed today and I'm high as ****

I just had all 4 of mine taken out on dec. 19. Make sure you use plenty of ice the first 2 days. 20 minsutes on. 10 minutes off. On day 3 do the same thing except use heat. Also day 3 start doing warm salt water rinses 2 or 3 times a day helps alot. I was told not to smoke for 5-7 days after surgery, but finally on day 4 about midday i gave in and had one. Did a salt water rinse that night and when i spat out the salt water notice there was blood. From that point on my back bottom right side hurt real fricken bad. It was pretty unbearable. I finally was able to see my doctor again the day after christmas and i found out it was a dry socket. So imo i would hold off on smoking 4 as long as you can.

Jesus. I've smoked a half dozen already today. But, I did my homework, and found that the suction of puffing a smoke is what the main cause of dry socket is. It said if I just barely drew off of it I should be fine. Please God, don't punish me for defiling my body. Please.

Not only that, but the smoke actually makes it take longer for your wounds to heal.

Alright. I guess it's time to find out what I'm made of. I've never gone 1 day without smoking since I started. It's time to find out what I'm made of.

Edit: Redundancy is caused by being high as ****.

This will be a good opportunity for you.

Maybe if you can stop for a couple weeks you will have no need to go back.

That's what I'm thinking. At the end of 07 I decided I needed to lose some weight and quit smoking. The goal was lose the weight and live passed 40, then stop smoking and live passed 70. I still have half the weight to take off, but there is no time like the present to start working on number 2. If I go a week without smoking, Marlboro stands to lose about $2000 a year from me.

I just had my post op this afternoon and doctor gave me a syringe use to apply warm water to help wash away food that gets stuck. So if you start getting food stuck you might want to ask your doctor for one.

Dammit. You're the 2nd person to talk about stuck food. That was the whole point. So that would stop happening. It makes for some pretty rancid breath.

Stuck food will only occur for a couple months.

You wont get the syringe until a week later, otherwise you'd be spraying water into your wounds, and a dry socket would be much more likely.

As soon as those gaps heal there will be no more stuck food.

Until then, you really need to eat only liquids.

Yeah, I'm due to fast for a couple of days anyways. Really, this will be good for me. I'm not even dreading it at this point.

you also need to watch the discovery and history channels while you're on the painkillers... there's something really therapeutic and soothing about it
