Re: Carers under 30...

Yeah no straws and no sucking on things like ice cubes etc incase it dislodges the clot. Dry socket is a complication of that.

Ah yeh ive really only had milk and water the past 3 days except some thicker liquids like a soup and abit of mashed potato today.

One side is settling abit but the other side that had 3 plus extra sutures seems to be getting worse esp in pain even tonight after pain meds etc. If it doesnt settle within another day or 2 might just consult with my gp as my specilist is 2 hrs from me just to make sure we are on the right track. Itll have been 5 days since op by then. @Smc

@outlander, I assume they've got you on precautionary antibiotics?

In response to: Re: Carers under 30...

Re: Carers under 30...

Yeah @Smc antibiotics, pin relief and anti-inflammatories as well. Havent been able to manage my other meds either which is prob part if the reason more fragile too but they are slow release so cant be crushed etc so cant swollow them. Might hve to speak to chemist and see if theres a liquid or similar version of them just as a temp thing. One of them gives me nausea though so am concerned about that one. Have enough nausea without it 😖😖😖

How's it going @outlander

Re: Carers under 30...

lol @Former-Member that's a pretty accurate picture of me! except its only one side now lol.
going okish, still really low on energy though. taking ages to get some energy back. didn't think GA would last this long but the lack of nutrition atm probably isn't helping much either.

@outlander

Improvement = 🙌.

In response to: Re: Carers under 30...

Re: Carers under 30...

yes at least theres some improvement @Former-Member the side that's gone down and isn't as painful now I can sleep on abit so its more comfortable then laying on my back.
getting quite bored though. struggling to fill in my days even with doing stuff at home and the kids. and occasionally the horses.
