Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Hello everyone.

I've just had one Wisdom tooth pulled out at the Dentist, 1 & 1/2 hours ago.

I'm not allowed to eat anything, until the anaesthetic wears off, & the blood stops. I never got to have any lunch today.

Then it will be OWCH!...

I drank an Up & Go Drink, as a substitute (but not enough).

Hot Choc, or Cold choc?

I’d go cold @Adge. Hot choc might start the red stuff up again.<br>Take the pain relief strictly as advised 👍🏼🌿

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Adge, ouch indeed. That was me a couple of years ago.

I went to the public dental hospital down in Melbourne for mine, and to save the headache of finding parking we used public transport. ("We" as in Hubby accompanying me.) Was a tricky extraction and very well done by the dentist. Impacted, not erupted, and roots curled around a nerve. The anaesthetic was wearing off as we reached the station. I had a hankering for icecream but no time before the train left to buy some, so it was a real godsend when we walked around the corner, and right in our path was an icecream company handing out free samples of their latest product. How perfect!

Hope your recovery goes smooothly, and hope you've got some recipes for tasty mush....

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Catcakes The Dentist never said anything about pain relief...

He left me to work that out (somehow) myself...

The tooth extraction was "sprung on me" (unexpected) - I was just there for a checkup...

I haven't been able to eat anything in 6 hours (no lunch), because my mouth is still numb. Dentist said not to eat or chew until the anaesthetic has worn off.

So I'm dizzy & feeling a bit weak...

@SmcTasty mush is right - I don't have any recipes, so I shall have to find some.

The Up & Go drinks went straight through me (my bowels don't work properly since my surgeries) - so there is nothing much left in my tummy...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

You definitely need two of whatever you usually take for a headache every four hours @Adge.
Anything you like can be thinned down with s half a stock cube . Do you like mashed potatoes,? Thin it down with stock and it should be easy enough to eat.

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Mashed potatoes sounds good @Catcakes

Yes I'm starting to feel pain, a strong ache. So I will have to take something...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

So if you take something now @Adge, you should feel more comfortable by the time the spuds are cooked 👍🏼
