why can't things be simple

i was given panadeine forte by the dentist at the hospital. knowing that it was a much more potent painkiller.. i decided that i should take it, since it would be nice to be painfree ya'know.

so i popped 2 into my mouth and swallowed it down with water.

and 1 hours plus later, i was nauseated to the very pits of my stomach, and i just wanted to throw up, but there wasn't anything to throw up since i only have a smoothie and a bit of cake for lunch. (just before i discovered the loose stitches) plus i was groggy and headachy all over.

so i had to lie flat (sitting up made it worse) and i slept the day away and woke up at 1930.

i hate myself!!! sob

ps: panadeine forte is panadol plus codeine. and codeine in the body, is converted to morphine, and im sure all of you know what morphine does. guess i shouldn't have underestimated the potency of the drug.. and should have started low by taking 1 initially.

hey twiN!

im heaps better. just a lil bit sore when i open my mouth too big.

anyway the drama with the stitches coming loose meant that i lost the blood clot that sat over the gapping hole in my mouth. apparently the bloodclot is good for healing since it acts like a platform for new cells to grow, allowing the hole to grow back.

anyway u can google 'dry socket' to find out more about this holey moley condition.

yeap talk to u soon! hugs!
