After a couple of days off, they started in on Deb's other side of her mouth. We both hoped that this would be less traumatic, but again we were disappointed. Deb has had less work done on this side, but she felt worse after it was done. Once again, the dentist had a hard time numbing her up. And the teeth he was working on were in rough shape, possibly infected.
During the ride home, she was crying from the pain. We had given her some pain pills, but they take 30 minutes before they begin to work. During that time she was hurting.
I don't know if it was worse pain, or if she hadn't braced herself for it. But she was miserable.
We have some stronger pain meds, but they make her nauseous. Deb hates throwing up and so she won't take them. I've been trying to get her to take them with a full stomach but she is leery. She has to balance her pain with the side effects of the pain meds. All in all, Monday was not a happy day.
