I believe dry sockets can take up to 2 weeks to heal. Isn't that when you lose the blood clot and bone/nerve is exposed? Did they offer to pack it with medicated dressings for you? Thursday was the earliest they could see you?!?
They saw me today and packed them and said to come back Thursday. Apparently mine never clotted. He said women are more likely to get dry socket than men, plus me being on birth control made it worse (why the f@#$ didn't they tell me that before?!?) Two weeks? I'm going to go crazy.
Well hopefully they can help you by doing SOMETHING on Thursday!! Seems like they should make an effort to get you in sooner than that! Try to relax as much as possible. I know teeth/mouth problems of any kind affect your whole body. I'm so sorry you're going through this! Poor thing! Is the BF helping to taking good care of you at least?
What exactly is dry socket? It sounds painful. It does suck not to be able to do what you want and need to do.
I love that you never actually saw Maris. The things that they'd say about her painted such a good picture, though.
I had to look it up because I didn't know either!
I've never had an experience bad enough to stick in my mind. I usually buy something in addition to my B2M swap, maybe that's why.
That sucks, Crimson. I hope that yours heal up faster than two weeks. It would have been nice if they had told you the possibilities for this before you had the teeth pulled. I will cross my fingers that you heal quickly! And you know that we'll be here to keep you company online.
I will say that after about 4 years of buying very little make up I went on a giant binge. Initially I was going to allow myself one splurge from MAC and one from Sephora. I was so happy to get new things after so long, though, that I just kept buying for awhile. I did stop again for a few months, but that was mostly because I didn't have the money to buy anything. Then the Punk Couture collection sucked me back in. So just make sure that you don't feel too deprived.
Exactly! She would have had to be thin as a stick, pretty, snobbish, neurotic… what else? Bebe Neuwirth did a great job with the character of Lileth, though. All in all that show had a great cast and very good writers. I loved the episode when Niles and Frasier joined the exclusive spa but then kept wanting access to the more expensive membership/areas. They ended up going outside and they couldn't see well enough to know that they were standing by the trash bin. Niles had a honey something paste all over him and was wrapped up so he could barely move, and then bees swarmed around him and he had to try to run. David Hyde Pierce was hilarious in that scene. And the basic plot was so universal - so many people always think they'll be happier with "more" but when they get it the happiness doesn't last.

Two weeks to fully heal over but you shouldn't be in the same amt of pain the whole time. Most places make you come back daily to re-dress and clean them. Some give antibiotics to avoid infection and can even anesthetize the area if you're in miserable pain. I'm sorry you're going through this. Makes an already unpleasant situation even more unbearable.
Best thing I can tell you is when in doubt, call the dentist. If you're in a lot of pain, that's apparently not normal despite the horror stories I've heard. Luckily they caught the dry socket early so I'm not suffering too much. Today has been much better. Also, if you're on oral birth control pills, I recommend getting off them as they said that was most likely why I got dry socket.
Good for you girl! Big progress being made for you! Can't wait to see the Minimalists in a month or so.Just checking in again with a few updates.
I used up 2 of my eyeliners (MUFE 4L Shimmering Plum and Loreal Infallible Silkissime Highlighter) so I bought 2 similar ones to replace them since I use those shades all the time (MUFE 18L Burgundy and MUFE 23L Champagne). The 2 I have left to use up now are 3L Iridescent Navy Blue and 24L Light Taupe but I still have a ways to go on those.
I also checked out the Bite display and felt so good for not picking anything else up.. UNTIL I was in the checkout line at Sephora where all of the minis are (trouble!).. and I spotted one of the mini Bite lipstick duos in Musk/Lychee. Just couldn't resist. Both of the colors are fantastic though.. might even buy the full sizes once I use up the mini. First makeup purchase in 2 weeks so I feel okay about that.
I unsubscribed from the RHPS and Simpsons threads.. disappointed in the lack of imagination. And since I know I don't want anything I need to get out now before the packaging or enabling sucks me in. More for everyone else who will love it! I'm really going to try hard not to pay attention to those collections as we get closer. Something that really helps me is thinking about other products I would enjoy more (like one Hourglass blush or Chanel lipstick instead of 2 mediocre products from a LE collection). Then I don't end up with things sitting around that I'm not using and I can get real standout everyday products instead. Really glad I got as much as I did from AA since I expected the Fall collections to be mostly a pass for me.
I've been thinking about one of the Becca Shimmer Souffles but my store didn't have them and had no idea if they were getting them at all.. not sure if I should order one online or not. I kind of want to get it soon because it's more of a summer product.. but I know I'll want to spend $75 to get the free shipping.. Sigh. Will have to mull it over for a bit more.
In my non-makeup world.. did a big closet overhaul this weekend and moved everything that was the wrong size or too heavy for summer into a couple of plastic bins to put in the hall closet.. made me realize how few clothes I was actually working with day to day. Especially summer stuff! I also had to throw away a dress that was finally worn out so I picked up a couple new ones along with some tshirts, an open front cardigan, a pair of shorts, two skirts, and two pairs of jeans. Most things were on sale for $10-20 each which was nice. Plus they seem like decent quality for the price so hopefully they'll last. I've been trying to apply my makeup decluttering habits to clothes and other areas of my life. Having the simplifying bug and still loving to shop can be contradictory sometimes.. lol.
When I had dry socket, clove oil was my best friend! Feel better soon, now that you've been back to the dentist your healing should speed up!
