Oh, this is SO gonna suck.

[linden_jay]

So, tomorrow I get my wisdom teeth out. All four at once. This is going to be AWESOME.

SO, if you're looking for me in the next couple? I'm probably drugged out of my gourd.

GAH.

dude that sucks.

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Sucks indeed. Sucked hardcore. I'm mainlining T-3s. UGH.

Ugh - I had them done two at a time and I hope you have a decent experience with it. Mine, honestly, wasn't all that bad. *hugs* Also, Happy 3 months to the wee aliens.

I decided if I was going to do it, and it was going to suck, I might as well let it suck all at once instead of having to do it twice. Plus, I only have dental insurance until October, so I wasn't going to take a chance not having them out and having them all of a sudden become problematic when I had to pay full price.

And thank you! They're getting so cute and so expressive!

I had all 4 out at once. As long as they don't have to cut them out, it should be ok. Get IV sedation if possible.

*hugs you*

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Three of them were below the gums, so I'm guessing there was a bunch of cutting. BLEURGH. Plus, I can't use any of the milk I pump until after 3pm, which kind of feels wretched, knowing I'm going to the effort of pumping it and it has to get tossed. SIGH.

*hugs back*

NOOOOOOO!

What are you taking and who said that??? Some drs/nurses assume that everything is bad! You can look them up at kellymom.com or through Amazon on Dr. Hale's book. Or give them to me and I'll do the lookup...

You may not have to pump and dump!

I've nursed on T3, it's not completely contraindicated. It didn't even have an effect on Jamey...

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

It was just for while the IV anesthetic was still looping around. I did check about, and it was probably okay, but just to be on the safe side.

I am letting them have the milk I'm pumping while on T-3s. My midwife aunt is having a bit of a fit over it, but my nurse sister in law says that it's fine, so... *throws hands up* I don't even know.

[kristinholt.livejournal.com]

I do forget that you've got the actual midwife/nurse to help you out! I have to rely on Dr. Elljay or Amazon.

I've nursed on T3, and all it does is make Jamey sleepy. Which sometimes is a good thing. :D

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and then my midwife aunt freaks me out sending me an article about how they're now questioning the safety of T-3s and breastfeeding and ACK GAH FLAIL. Just what I needed.

[kristinholt.livejournal.com]

If it makes you feel any better, I nursed the boy child while on a couple things that were much worse than T-3.

Besides, they give C section moms much stronger stuff than that and plus what's in an epidural? Yeah, I think you'll be just fine.

Hell, Jamey's going thru a grouchy growth spurt - I'm considering taking a t3 just so it will go through my milk. :D

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

I think this is why I have problems with anything taken to extremes, you know? Both the 'drug me to the gills so I won't feel anything!' method of childbirth and the 'you mustn't take anything even if you're in so much pain you can't breathe' method. Same thing for afterward... I don't know. I find it very frustrating.

Of course, I already get a big F since I let my mom take the aliens for the night the day I had my teeth out. Since I was still completely doped and in pain and in no way able to care for them, and it let the boy look after me. But still. I let them go away for a night! A whole night! They will be traumatised forever!

*goes to hell without passing go*

[kristinholt.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

If I can't stand it, I can't stand it. The end. I'm about done breastfeeding Jamey. I'm touched out, to the point of I don't want ANYONE touching me since I have this small person attached for several hours fo the day. Every day.

I'm ready to get a good night's sleep again.

If that's how the road to hell is paved, baby, sign me up.

You're a good mommy. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
