Default Grouse!

I had written about a tooth extraction on Wave's thread before. I resisted adding to that this time because she absolutely needs that thread for herself. She is NOT enjoying herself and can do without somebody else piggy backing.

SO - I had my blood test reports come in on the 4th, and platelets were ok-ish, normal by my auto-immune standards.

So we went ahead with the extraction.
Guess what?
Platelets had decided to forsake me.

No blood clot formed. I bled till late at night. Drugs then took over. But no blood clot = no healing.

Now I have what is known as a *dry socket*. Bone, nerves exposed to the pitfalls of life. Painful is not the word. Diclofenac + Proxyvon (so there is no overdosing on one drug) every 6 hrs.
Can't open mouth, move tongue when the anti-Inflammatories are on their way out.

Body bad.
Body not nice.



Please have a good day for me.
