Smart Teeth

A few hours ago I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed. I'm not asking if I should smoke or not because I've already read around and I've decided to wait a week because I don't want fucking dry socket. Obviously this is a pain in the ass, but I don't really think it will be that big of a deal. I've taken 4 vicodin so far and it's pretty fun lol.

I've been smoking everyday for about 2-3 months where I don't remember a day where I haven't smoked at least once. Anyway I'm actually kind of excited for this week break because I miss getting super fucking high. Next Thursday I'm gonna start it off with at least 3 bong bowls of some chron and just blazzzze.

Actually, the worst part I think is sitting here on a Friday night because I'm "recovering," says my mom. And she said I most likely won't be able to go out tomorrow either. Plus I'll be bored as fuck because it's my first day off weed.

Ohhhhh well.

Oh yeah and my 2 year aniversery of my first hit of weed is monday (3/3/06) which i'm PISSED i won't be able to celebrate...wow i just fucking realized that too

 

Just remind yourself that there are much worst things that can happen. On the plus side: vicodin.

 

well....if youre up for it.....

its desperate and pathetic and hurts like a bitch...but...

you can't perform any action which requires you to use your mouth to suck somethting (hehe) like a joint, bowl, cigarette, straw, or....errr...whatever....

but....when you inhale nasally your mouth does nothing....and not only do you not move any oral muscles, your tongue automatically blocks off the majority of your mouth....

i smoked a bowl or two through my nose when i had my wisdom teeth cut out (two partially erupted which would never come all the way out, two which would never erupt but just cause me pain)

so mine were pretty bad....and still, it wasn't TOO bad. i mean, it hurt and all, and all the bleeding the first day sucked....

but three or four days of eating jello and ice cream and sorbet and mashed potatoes and pudding? hell yeah.

and best of all, painkillers!

plus you can also still drink, so long as its not fizzy. no champagne or beer or coolers. wine is all good though! pop a few painkillers, drink a glass of wine or two, then take a few hits of GOOD pot or a really good shotgun through your nose....or make some really strong bhang.....and you'll be feeling fiiiiiine indeed. your teeth and going out will be the least of your concerns!

 

word of warning, it may have been that i took longer to heal because of the state of my teeth when they were removed, i dunno. it may also be that cigars just take more of a vaccum or somethting to get smoke going....but i love fine cigars, and after 5 days or however long the doctor said i should wait until i could smoke, i tried smoking a cigar and it felt like all the stitches were about to be pulled out.

i only made it like a 1/4 way through the cigar (only a robusto) before i gave up.

just because its been long enough doesnt mean its been long enough....

i felt much more comfortable smoking pot, but it still hurt a bit. just be careful, and sometimes waiting a bit longer is better.

eat two grams of dank in a cookie on the fifth day instead of smoking. unless you have a superhuman tolerance, you'll be fucking rocked

 

I don't know if I would smoke even after that first week. I never had pain from the wounds after the first day, but the pain of eating solid food was extremely high. I started eating sandwiches during week 2 but had to use my front teeth because of the pain and it ended up cutting the top of my mouth badly. And the sutures didn't all fall out until maybe a month had passed. I would wait it out until you're very sure that your mouth can take it.

 

fuck this all sounds fucking weak..

i have to get mine out soon but the downtime isnt gonna be cool..

 

all i can speak from with certainty is personal experience. it didn't hurt very much at all from the fourth day on...just some soreness/tenderness.

the first day sucked. it did hurt, but the anaesthetics and shit took almost all day to wear off, plus it was the first day of painkillers (and i snuck a bit of wine from the parents) but mostly it sucked because i didnt stop bleeding for a while. for it being the day of, it didnt hurt too badly at all. bleeding is a bitch, though, i had to keep changing out the gauze. but then, all four were removed and two hadn't even broken through the gum yet and one was only partial, the other mostly out....all crooked and hurting my mouth already, and the one kept gnawing at my cheek when i would eat. they needed to come out, and i feel much, much better without them now.

the second day was the only day of significant pain even when i wasn't eating. the painkillers helped a lot though.

the third day saw continuous, dull aching, and pain if i attempted to eat solid food, but i could do it without incident. in normal day-to-day non-eating activities i was fine for sure. i took like half doses of the painkillers because i didnt need much (and i kinda wanted to have as much left over as i could to enjoy when i DIDNT need them)

i couldnt smoke a cigar after five days. i had to wait longer. i managed to smoke pot normally after five days, though, and i could have certainly eaten brownies as early as the third day, if i had some. i could have smoked cigarettes a lot sooner.

a lot of people know got recovered very quickly, with far less pain and bleeding than i had. one guy i knew went out later that night...went to a bar, smoked his cigarettes, just fine.

some people get dry socket doing this, though.

so really, for some people it hurts a lot (worse than i had and for longer) but for some its really not bad at all, too.

so just get some of your favorite booze for days 2 and 3, make sure your doctor will give you a good prescription, and just make the best of a lousy situation.


chances are it wont be nearly as bad as you anticipate or as it sounds.

while my description of what i went through isnt exactly attractive, i was surprised by how much more barable it was than i'd anticipated. plus a few days off of work to just watch tv, read, whatever....

 

plus i mean, you're a champ of a smoker, yeah? if you can french inhale off a blunt, you can take a shotgun through the nose i bet....you'll get ripped quick that way, absolutely no injury to the mouth. it just looks silly is all. its effective though

 

Man... I get my wisdom teeth out wednesday man, I hear ya on not smoking, I'm going to hate it, espicially since im not a pill taker, drinker, or anyother type of better feeling drugs i can get, Im even scared to take my vicodin, haha, i shouldnt be but i am ..

How is the surgery done? I really dont want to get it done, but meh i guess you got to do what you got to do but I know nothing of wisdom teeth getting pulled how does it happen?

 

nesta thanks for all the great input! i would definitely try your suggestions, but in a way this is an excuse not to smoke for a week. and now one of the main reasons i dont wanna smoke is so my tolerance goes down, i cant wait. otherwise i'd try shotgunning.

well rasta here's how it went for me:

didnt eat or drink 6 hours before the surgery. when i went in i laid down, they connected some wires for monitering and then they placed something over my nose to knock me out, which it did a very good job of. i didnt remember at all when i woke up because i was knocked out and it felt like it was just one minute. then they took me in another room with gauze already in my mouth. this room was for recovery and they ran an IV through me which i think lasted about a half hour but it went super fast because i was all graugy so i dont remember. as soon as i got home i took 2 vicodin and have taken 2 every 4 hours since then...so i have yet to feel any substantial pain at all. only very very mild soreness.

i would definitely recommend trying at least 1 vicodin right away so you dont even need to experience the pain.

also i havent experienced any bleeding at all past the first hour of being home and haven't even used gauze yet. and this is with all 4 of mine getting removed, the top 2 hadn't even punched through my gums yet. however, i did go to a highly recommended oral surgeon.

 

They put the IV in your vein, then you count down from 10, then you wake up and you've turned into a chipmunk.

 

i cracked under pressure and smoked 3 bowls

 

wait wait, no body said anything about iv's do they have to do this? because if so i will just say fuck it no.

I wont mind the other shit to much, idk im just a pansy with surgery shit haha, and im saying this and my dad has fuckin acute lukemia and has to go through crazy surgeries .. damn

 

I didn't get an iv, i was awake, and thinking "wow, this should REALLY hurt" two of mine were impacted, so they had to break them apart and pull out the pieces.
they put me on nitrous, gave me the basic novacaine into my jaw, followed it by what looked like an elephant needle shot straight into my jaw (that did hurt, and i had to get a second one on the right hand side because the first wasn't enough)
then they went to work. prying, jerking, I could hear the crunching through my jaw. it was crazy, but I have always liked to know what was going on.

Afterward my mom came to get me, and I had 3 prescriptions : 1 week of Percoset, 1 week of vicodin, 1 week of 800 mg ibuprofen. I love my dentist. unfortunately my mom had to run an errand before we went to get my scripts, so when we got to the pharmacy the actual surgery drugs were wearing off. and you have to wait 15- 30 minutes for them to fill it for you, because its a narcotic. so there I was screaming, crying, moaning in the supermarket, begging for drugs. Then I took them at the water fountain, but i had to take another when i got home because the first wasn't enough to kick in.
i laid in bed, apparently insisting that I would never have any children, but i don't remember that.

the moral of the story is, always cal ahead for you prescriptions.

I just invited a friend over, with a bong, and had him pull hits for me, since just breathing in was ok. I also used a bulb dropper to wash out one of my sockets, because the stitches had torn out, and it was nasty, so I assume it was infected. all of a sudden a pressure would shoot nastiness into my mouth, i had to clean it out before and after every meal. Its fine now, but it was a pain at the time.

If you are afraid, or hard to numb, they can do the iv, which knocks you out so you don't feel it or panic, but that is not necessary.

 

hmm i know im going to be on ALOT of vicodin, and they said they're going to knock me out to do it, how long do you think it will be okay to smoke? and whats a good alternative? I liked that inhale threw the nose, but i was also thinking i would want a better way, i dont know how that instead of sucking in teh smoke, could I just simply inhale like a deep breath, wouldnt really get a rip
but i would have to do it a few times

 

honestly, taking a normal shotgun through the mouth should be ok, but i wouldnt suggest it. just dont suck in air, simply breathe it in naturally.

the nose is 100% safe, just uncomfortable.

orally administered pot will be great, so long as you're careful and put it into some kind of food you can eat. the cannabinated butter with mashed potatoes suggestion someone made would be PERFECT...a meal and a strong high. DO IT!

 

dude just pop a bunch of vikes fuck the weed for 3 days u cant even conjure up a way to smoke it why even try?

 

rasta moose your words make no sense

 

wait thats dumb im on shrooms

 

^ haha
