The beasts have been extra lovey the last little while, must be my pregnancy hormones setting them off lol.
Baby girl was in heat not too long ago and would NOT leave me tf alone 😂 we delayed getting hee fixed cus she was so wittle but she still isn't growing much so she must be done. Sooner the better I can't do with the neediness n the screaming anymore lmao
The filling that fell out almost a year ago has finally come back to haunt me... could hardly sleep last night cus my face hurt so bad. TWO naproxen didn't even touch the pain. (Tho that's nothing new tbh). Don't want a long aas post clogging up anyone's dash, so rest is under the cut.
Also didn't proof read this super well cus now that I'm not as sore I'm getting sleepy cus I didn't sleep much last night so if it's a Lil choppy I apologize lol.
Over the years, I noticed pain meds never really worked, so I didn't bother with them. The option was to take the max dose, or potentially more to get relief, but doing that consistently was just not something i was down for. But at the dentist for the filling that fell out more recently, dude dipped into multuple syringes of the lidocaine, and had to numb the nerve in the hinge of my jaw for me to not feel him digging around in my face.
Found the same when I had an iud inserted, took meds before as instructed, even brought a joint lmao. As well as going for the discomfort of that giant ass 10g needle stabbed into my cervix, and it did NOTHING... I've got a fairly high pain tolerance, but I stg I had a better time when I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed at once... and those were ALL infected, two were impacted, and when treating said infection, I had a freak reaction to the amoxicillin for the first time in my life... go me...
ANYWAY, shit I tried off Google and how it worked...
Sensitivity toothpaste rubbed into my gums/teeth helped a very short time. Sent the bf for orajel the next morning n honestly it worked about as well as the toothpaste, just for longer.
Also strongly mint?? Like specifically just peppermint antacid in my mouth helped rhe ache?? Apparently it's a thing lol. Honestly was just looking for a distraction from the ache n felt like the minty feeling might help.
Salt water rinse helped a little too. Did a rinse but a VERY gentle swish, better to puff out your cheeks and roll your head back n forth. Kinda burns but it will help kill any infection as long as it's minor.
Had some tea earlier on with sage, lemon balm, clove and rosemary. As all of them have geberal anti inflammatory or anti bacterial properties. Weirdly another tip I found was just a damp black tea bag placed against the affected area, actually felt FANTASTIC but the downside was it made my spit SUPER bitter if I swallowed it, so my option was wanting to gag at how gross it was, or be in pain... and obviously couldn't sleep with it in there cus that would be dangerous. Might try just drinking some black tea or brewing the black tea with the other herbs for some extra kick, no honey sadly but I'll have to deal with the bitterness.
Acetaminophen worked a lot better than the naproxen here. Was told by a Dr for a different pain I was in, that I COULD take them together tho (as in one of each), but since the naproxen didn't seem to do fuck all I'm gonna just do 2x extra strength Acetaminophen. Which also isn't ideal long term, but I CANNOT sleep with the pain I'm in so for a temporary situation I'm just gonna have to drink extra water or sum...
Other option is the T3 I had leftover after my tooth removal, had some ibuprofen too but left those when I moved away from fam. I'd rather take an extra Tylenol than the codeine tbh. Just feels a Lil less harsh on the system.
Fingers crossed the boyfriends work insurance goes thru so I can get this delt with... otherwise I might have to just have to be in pain to give my organs a break from all the drugs 🙃 gonna try my netti pot to hopefully clear any gunk out my sinuses as the ear on that side is a Lil plugged too (tip. Take a deep breath, close mouth, plug nose, and swallow. Works WAY better than plugging your nose and blowing).
Please ignore the seemingly blurry photo of the bewf stew, it's just steaming lmao.
Livin the housewife life recently, used my bread maker to mix up some bread dough n made rolls for supper the other night. N made banana bread for dessert.
Tonight is gonna be Chilli and making apple chrisp for dessert. But first I need a nap while the Chilli cooks (in the slow cooker again dw lol), cus my fuckin kittens have lost their minds and decided the bed was a race track the second I tried to sleep last night lmao
I'm legit counting down the days until I get my hair done. I'm so GD excited lol. Going full on spooky colours. Orange, purple, and slime green.
Still debating on if I wanna do an undercut ngl... We'll see when the day comes lol. I've been trying to grow my hair out so I'm debating shaving a chunk and then regretting it... Hmmmm... Idk...
I use to have a side shave and I sorta miss it. But an undercut would be easier to hide if I wanted to change it up. If I do it tho Imma for sure do the green tho
Really wanna make my cats one of those crochet pet couches. But I know it would take a good long while and I'm trying to work on Christmas gifts for ppl rn cus I have SO MUCH YARN in tons of colours, but not a lotta money for extra things lol.
Thrifted some cookie cutters to do those Lil, cookie mix in a jar gift sets. Found a sugar cookie, gingerbread and a chocolate chip (which won't cookie cutter very well but shhhh lol).
Hats n scarves are also on my list to catch up on for a Lil donation drive with the church my grandmother goes too. I have some already made n more chunky yarn to do tons more. I also have a bunch if Misc. Granny squares so I might do some patchwork blankets just for funsies as back up gifts for a few others if I can't decide what else to give them (but they're gonna be important ppl cus blankets take SO LONG).
Thinking I'm gonna make my mother a long striped scarf but haven't found a fun but simple repeating pattern for texture yet. I've been makin crochet projects off n on the last almost 17yrs, but super detailed stitch patterns still hurt my brain sometimes lmao. Might just do a spike stitch cus the end result is pretty cute and it's fairly easy to repeat. The other option I think was an alpine stitch? Looks like little trees! But I've not made a full project with it before so idk if I wanna make a full scarf with that on a time crunch... if anyone has some good repeating crochet stitch patterns lemmie know lol. I thought of trying to knit it, but I haven't done as much knit recently. So I'd basically have to relearn how to knit in general to try that one lmao.
Off to another Dr's appointment. This time for the endometriosis (finally got the apointment with the surgical specalist). Still unsure how this ones gonna go tbh. But maybe they can give me some info on if/when this mass can GTFO.
I keep going back and forth on whether or not I'll ask about a c-section JUST because they MIGHT be able to remove that mass at the same time... but I guess it will depend on how severe this thing is tangled up in my guts lmao
