Jeweled Vixen

I finally got some real sleep for the first time since last Thursday. I've been sleeping 2-4 hours at a time before the CPAP mask pressing on the sore area becomes so bad it wakes me up and I have to get the mask off.

I took a pill at 10:00 last night and slept until 4:00 this morning. That's six hours! Yay! I hope that means the worst is over and that things really are improving.

Sunday and yesterday the pain from my tooth was manageable until about 7am. Then, even though I took the Vicodin, it was horrible. I almost went back to the ER. Then, suddenly, the Vicodin kicked in after 2 hours and it was fine. It was fine the rest of the day and all day today until about an hour ago.

It was feeling so much better that I thought the antibiotics had started to work and things were on the mend. So, when I went to Wall World, I got some extra-strength Tylenol and took that instead of the Vicodin. Right about now, I hate Dr. House. If it weren't for watching that show and seeing how an addiction to Vicodin effected him, I wouldn't have been so scared of getting addicted and I would have taken the Vicodin. Since Vicodin has Tylenol in it, I have to wait like four hours before I can take a Vicodin. Right now it's bearable, so I'm hoping the Tylenol is going to give me at least a little relief. We'll see.
