And if I'm thinking of the correct young lady, she's a fine woman. And I'm not so sure my sister (his mother) will mind so much not having to spring for a lavish wedding.

archermoo Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings Penicillin? How . . . quaint. Don't knock it if it works, I guess. Different bugs are treated best by different antibiotics. Penicillin is still pretty effective stuff, at least against some types of bugs.

AliceTheOwl Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings It's been a really, really long time since I've been prescribed it, is all. It's been so long that the last time it was prescribed to me, it tasted like bubble gum and was pink. Who knew actual penicillin had a flavor, and not a pleasant one? I haven't the slightest what bug they think they're killing with it, but it's been quite effective at throwing my whole system off. I require yogurt.

I generally do my best to not let pills stay in my mouth long enough to determine if they have a flavour or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings I try not to, but lately I've been forgetting where I put that glass of water a lot. The nurse at the hospital warned me that "this medication will make you dumb" when she handed me the script for the muscle relaxant. I just laughed, because the distraction and tiredness of being in pain for an extended period of time does the same thing to me. She was not kidding.

Though I've only personally taken any once. I was in pain for around 4 hours, starting an hour or so after I took it. Pissed my back right off. Which, as messed up as my back is, shouldn't have surprised me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the pain was taken care of by the fact that I was unconscious 20 minutes after popping a hydrocodone. Apparently it works on the Dramamine Principle: you can't feel it if you're passed out! This is, alternately, sometimes called the NyQuil Effect.

In that case, it worked beautifully. When I came to the ER, I was fretting about cost and worried about what might be causing the pain, and that I was wasting Josh's New Year's Day waiting in an ER waiting room. When we left, after I'd been medicated, I was giggling about the funny noise the lights made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings Yup, opiates at work. Hope the reason for the ER visit wasn't too severe. I needed something for the pain, and I was hoping for a non-dental diagnosis. I got the prescriptions, and they sent me to the dentist to get the cause taken care of. I have totally neglected to mention I had another root canal yesterday, haven't I? So, yeah, nothing TOO serious, unless you count the searing pain in my jaw every time I ate, or drank anything hot. Or rolled over in my sleep. Or closed my mouth all the way. The dentist remarked at one point that the nerve was calcified. I rather hope he meant that the pulpy part of the tooth was. Apparently, that's a common reaction to irritation in teeth. Nerves calcifying, though; that's a bit more serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Re: Musings on Random Musings The actual root canal is done. I still need a permanent filling, and a crown. The crown will probably have to wait. They're expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
