I just wanted to let everyone know that I might be off of here for a couple of days because I have to have several teeth removed later today!  9 to be exact! I AM TERRIFIED!!!

Right after they remove them, they will put an upper and lower partial in! I was going to stay awake, and I usually do, but the doctor recommended that I take the  I.V. sedation.

I don't know how I will feel, but I will be back as soon as I can!
If it doesn't hurt too much, I will be right back on gather!


Say a little prayer, please.

Get well soon.

I will pray for you.
How long will it take before you can eat again? You might want to have a large breakfast if they will let you.
Take care.
~*~Nina~*~ R. Feb 21, 2008, 2:31am UTC
They won't let me eat a thing before I go in!

Thank you for your prayers!

Nina, I'm sending up a prayer for you. I have dental work today too. I have to have a crown on my back molar. I absolutely hate going to the dentist and know how you feel. Hang in there kid.

Wow! and ouch!
Well, don't be down in the mouth. And Keep a stiff upper lip. lol
We will be praying for you. God will be with you through the whole thing. Sorry that you won't be here for a few days, but when you come back I want to hear from you. You will be missed. I will miss your laughter.
God Bless.
Nina, that is a date I would much rather miss!
I hope it goes smoothly for you & that you heal up quickly!

Ugh.... Hang in there.
DIANE D. Feb 21, 2008, 9:00am UTC
So sorry to hear this, take care, stock up on soup.
Marianne R. Feb 21, 2008, 9:09am UTC
Oh my 9!? That's a lot. Yeah, you definitely want to be knocked out for THAT. You'll be pretty woozy for 12-24 hours afterward based on my dental experience. I'll have you in my thoughts today, Nina.
Gerri D. Feb 21, 2008, 9:10am UTC
Yikees! Nine teeth...that isn't fun. I will pray for a speedy recovery for you.
Debby O. Feb 21, 2008, 9:19am UTC
It will be okay Nina. I had eight pull and a plate put in. I was awake and the noise was what mostly bothered me. You will be sleepy afterwards and will probably sleep a lot the rest of the day, so we will see you when you get back! There is no doubt you will be sore for a while, but nothing you can't handle sweetie.
T Cheri Photography Feb 21, 2008, 9:26am UTC
Lots of luck!

Cloves work great for tooth pain!
Kimberly Ripley Feb 21, 2008, 9:38am UTC
Oh definitely take the sedation! Will pray for a speedy recovery!

Hello everyone,
Thank you for all of your prayers! They mean so much to me!
I am glad that I got the IV sedation. I'm sore, but if it doesn't get any worsethat this I can handle it!
I'm going to try to do a little commenting but I'm still pretty loopie!
You all mean so much to me! That comes straight from my heart! Thanks you all again!
Steph-in-NE ..... Feb 21, 2008, 11:59pm UTC
Loopie,, when were you not Just kiddin,, glad to here you are fine...
Wilma M. Feb 22, 2008, 1:05am UTC
Wow, Nina, that sounds like a nightmare to me. Glad you are doing OK this evening. Probably just as well to be a little "loopy"! Hope you can sleep well.
Janet B. Feb 22, 2008, 2:09pm UTC
It will be okay like Donna said. I also went with having all mine pulled in one day and plate put in. Then I decided to go for implants. I am so glad I did. It will hurt for awhile but you will be so happy once they get your plate to fit.
Get some perks they will help with the pain.
~*~Nina~*~ R. Feb 22, 2008, 2:12pm UTC
OK, TODAY I HURT LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT AND I LOOK LIKE A CHIPMUNK!!!!
William M. Feb 22, 2008, 3:58pm UTC
I hope everything goes well and your pain is ended, Nina.
Kathryn W. Feb 22, 2008, 9:26pm UTC
Are you getting implants or dentures?
Teresa L. Feb 23, 2008, 10:23am UTC
How are you doing now???
~*~Nina~*~ R. Feb 23, 2008, 12:20pm UTC
Today is a little better. I was able to eat scrambled eggs today!
Hi Kathryn, I have an upper & lower partial.
Hi Bob, the pain is a bit better today.
Hi Teresa, I've feeling better, thanks!
~*~Nina~*~ R. Feb 23, 2008, 12:34pm UTC

Hello ~*~Nina~*~ R.,

I just wanted to say I am finally going through what is now under 6,400 pieces of gather new mail that is in my inbox on here. So with that in mind I have finally come to a piece of mail that was addressed to me in regards this article submission you have created to share with the gather community. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your piece with us here at gather. :o)
