22nd of January

Hi Everyone

Just a quick update following on from Friday, after taking the tramadol it made me really sick so thought this doesn't suit me, better try and manage the pain. The kids went for sleep overs which gave me time to rest but I was still in so much pain that Jason and I decided that this morning I needed to phone Hallamshire, I was asked to go straight in.

We had to wait until the doctor became free but this never bothers me anymore, when she did she told me she had spoke to the consultant that had performed the operation on my mouth, and he had said due to the complications of the wisdom tooth they couldn't pack the hole and still couldn't as it would damage the exposed nerve. She examined me and said I had what is called a dry socket, she need to clean the area and give me a high dose of antibiotics, unfortunately as she had said she couldn't pack the area so she was hoping this would work. It was very painful and lots of yuck came out so hopefully this will fix it.

Ive come away with a syringe and some wash to keep putting in to the area, antibiotics and she recommend a interspace toothbrush to help clean the area.

Lesson learnt stop trying to put up with pain and speak out sooner.

Tomorrow is mask making day hopefully it will still happen because there is a bit of swelling on the outside (fingers crossed)


lots of love to you all xxxxxxxx
