All done with painkillers? Ha! If I hadn't already said I wasn't on drugs in the previous post, I'd have to accuse myself of being on drugs when I wrote that post.
Being at work for the afternoon was tiring, and my teeth gradually got more sore. Also, I found driving to work seemed to make me tired and my head a touch motion-sick, maybe because I'm not used to the extra mass in my head yet, maybe because of the extra fluid still in my head, maybe some other reason. Anyhow, driving home didn't seem to affect me. However, I had to stop at the grocery store, and that definitely made me more tired and my head more sore. It was much like when I first got braces, all I could feel was pressure on my upper teeth and jaw. By the time I got home I was feeling pretty unhappy, and I immediately took one of the stronger painkiller pills with a glass of milk. Just drinking the cold milk seemed to help soothe, or at least numb, the teeth. So now I'm trying to sit for a bit with a cooling pad strapped up against my mouth, and that also seems to be helping (though it's rather awkward).
Hopefully my teeth will settle down over the next day or two, because if I go back to taking the ibuprofen regularly, I'll run out in a couple days, and I really can't drive if I have to take the stronger hydrocodone/ibuprofen. Of course, there's just a couple days until the weekend, so then I'll have another couple days where I can basically sit around at home if I need to.
