Let The Dentistry Begin

Today was an exciting day. I went on Facebook to announce I’d be back on Channel 8. More on that in a later post, though I will say the path to this day has been absolutely surreal!

Taking most of my attention today are three teeth removed from my infected gum this afternoon. It feels every bit as bad as you think.

I don’t like taking narcotics. Even after my Whipple they were used sparingly. I’ve made an exception here. Mouth pain is the worst. My dentist prescribed Norco, aka Vicodin.

This combination medication is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains an opioid (narcotic) pain reliever (hydrocodone) and a non-opioid pain reliever (acetaminophen). Hydrocodone works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Acetaminophen can also reduce a fever.

Stuff like that fascinates me. Norco doesn’t make you have less pain. It just allows you to give less of a damn about it.

Hopefully things will begin to turn around tomorrow. Maybe my mouth will allow the rest of me to enjoy what’s about to happen.

  1. You did look a bit like a chipmunk during your announcement. Glad the drugs are helping you ‘forget’ the pain. Really glad you’re going to be back on WTNH. Feel better soon.

  2. I get the pain. My husband and I have started with dental implants to replace the missing teeth. Amazing g technology but expensive. Looking forward to seeing you on CT news again. You were my favorite.

Remember that? So good to see you again. I hope it lasts forever. I know you said just for the summer but “no one” does it like you! All the best to you my friend!

  11. Regular players are easily regular players for a simple reason, they win or at best
    don’t lose a lot as is also expected to quit the game.
    There are numerous online poker books available for sale along
    with your local bookstore. As the strength of the hand is see-through to
    all the members, it really is better to make decisions with this game.
