My teeth are doing good, I felt great today but still took it pretty easy. I have this nasty taste in my mouth though. Yesterday all I tasted was blood. I would take back the blood taste over this.
wait....you both have teeth issues?? I am so confused LMAO

I am getting ready to go to bed but I wanted to tell you something that has helped me a LOT the last two days.

Swirl gently! warm salt water in your mouth. My Oral Surgeon told me 1/2 tsp salt (table is fine) to 8oz warm water. Swirl and spit, repeat with the whole cup. I noticed that it helped get rid of the nasty taste. I had a nastier taste in my mouth the last two days and I am finding out that my lower hole is infected slightly. He said the salt solution will keep it from getting infected and so inflamed. Tomorrow is day 3 for you, correct? Just a fair warning, be prepared!

I would not take back the blood taste, LOL. I barfed so much monday/tuesday because of the blood!

LOL, you silly thing!

I had my wisdom teeth removed on Monday. Holla had (hers, im assuming, i hope i am right!) hers removed on Wednesday I believe. Smilie So yes, we both have teeth problems, but I think Holla is doing a lot better than I am! i hope she is able to keep it up! Let me tell you, when that oral surgeon stuck his finger and pushed on that hole, it took all my strength to NOT bite through the thing that was holding my mouth open and bite his fingers off!

I've been doing the salt water...maybe just not enough. I've just been swishing mouth fulls.

I am used to the blood taste because my nose membranes or whatever they are, are very close to the skin and I get nose bleeds from about any stupid reason imaginable (too cold weather, washing my face, crying, sneezing, and the list goes on) Its gotten better since I've gotten older. But I pretty much grew up with the taste of blood in my mouth, so it doesnt gross me out.

off to swish some salt.

LOL, if you do, just take the pain pills, and try not to drink the koolaid at the same time.

If you do drink the koolaid, you will be "pleasantly buzzed" LOL. (no experience btwAngel Not )

Yes do! I was in pain for MONTHS! Constant head aches starting late September. They got really bad towards October and then poof disapeared. Then the whole left side of my head from my temple to the top of my sholder was always in pain right after Thanksgiving.
My left side has been GREAT! I'm so glad to be headache free!

Oral Surgeon said to swish 1 cup 4-6 times per day (he said to do it at the same times I am doing the vicodin, I dared not tell him that I was taking more than he said to, because i already complained that it was making me sick as heck and he told me to stop taking it, but heck if i was going to be in pain, i was at least going to dim it with the vicodin, who cares if it made me throw my brains up!) and after eating Smilie I hope it helps you Smilie

I was confused because yesterday the multiquotes got mixed up on here and I couldn't tell who actually had teeth pulled. I hope you both are feeling better soon. I've had that done and it SUCKS.

I just got a roll out fight with the witch at Target

I had 2 dog collars, a pair of flip flops and a box of andes. Total was $13.86. I was paying with $10 in giftcards and $3.86 in cash.

Manager came over as soon as she saw me walking towards register. That was fine, I had NO coupons, I just needed the dog collars. I get up and put my stuff on the belt. She then gets up in my face and demands to see my coupons. I told her I had none, the items I had did have any coupons matching their purchase. She starts talking right up in my ear and spitting all over me. YOU HAVE COUPONS WHERE ARE THEY GIVE THEM TO ME NOW! I told her to back off, I had no coupons and pulled out my giftcard and $100 bill. I said this is how I will be paying. She said GIVE ME YOUR COUPONS NOW. I told the cashier please ring me up so that I can leave. She told the cashier, do not dare until I see its coupons. That is when I went postal. She called me IT. WTF. I clearly look like a woman! I told the cashier to give me my stuff, he rang it up and I left. I have never been so outraged in my life! I admit I called her some nasty names, I just lost it. She made me so upset. I am calling the DM back first thing Monday morning. This b word needs to lose her job.
When I go to the Target from Hell, I carry a small voice recorder (that I got on clearance at Target some time back). I haven't had to use it yet, although I wished I had it with me at least two times. I could upload the recording to the computer and send it to corporate or just play it over the phone to them. It makes me feel better knowing I have it, and that I can nail someone if they go off like the stupid manager at your store did. I'd really let the DM have an earful if I were you. And I wouldn't stop there. I'd go right up the line until I really got some good solid satisfaction. This business of targeting (pun intended) coupon users has absolutely got to stop.

OMG! plgffl your experience really really sucks! I really do not understand why people are suspicious of couponers! Just because we talk the extra time to search and get good deals. At the end of the day T will get their money from the man. the mgr cashier whatever shouldn't care, we aren't taking any money from them! I swear you'd think they own T themselves!
I would call the DM asap. Is this a store mgr or a LOD?
When I was an Assistant Mgr @ OD I would never every dream of acting like this to customers!
Especially with the economy right now they can't afford to lose any customers! Even if we spend $1 oop that is $1 more they have then if we went to walmart!!

I was thrilled to find a specialty Mexican seasoning product called Tajin at my Target in San Diego, CA. It's a blend of chili peppers, lime and salt. This seasoning tastes amazing, and it's been very hard to find - they don't sell it any supermarkets in my area. At my local farmer's market, they sprinkle it on samples of fruits and vegetables, but I've heard that it's also great on fish, chicken, and all kinds of things. They just started selling at the farmer's market (due to popular request) for $5 a bottle. Only $1.89 at Target.

I ended up with an infection too but I didn't want to mention it and scare you but now that it looks like you have one...

Anyway, my infection ended up going all the way into my neck (which is why I ended up back in the hospital - they were afraid the swelling would effect breathing), You mentioned salt water but they also gave me this super strong anitbac mouth wash (same thing they probably had you swish right before they knocked you out). They gave me a huge bottle of it and this curved syringe thing so that I could actually shoot it into the site. I was worried about causing the scab to fall off and get dry sockets but when I mentioned it he laughed and said, "you should wish for dry sockets right now." If I had it to do over, I would never do it again. They weren't bothering me but DH was getting ready to retire from the military and if I did it before he retired it was free.

Oh, one last thing. If they have to numb you again while you still have the infection, make them bring out the big guns. They had to scrape the bone (sorry, I know it's gross) and they gave me Novocaine and when they started I about came out of the chair! They then tell me that Novocaine doesn't work when you have an infection and it can be really hard to numb it. I explained that they wouldn't be touching me again without knocking me out and then they injected something else that they promised would numb it. It worked but I don't know why they didn't just use that in the first place! Anyway, hopefully you won't have to have anything else done but just something to remember.

Good luck and I hope you're feeling better!
