Orlando Smackdown: Dis vs. Uni. Ch.16 Japan Hates me, Just Hates me 7-13

[Rozz]

So did you get the Novocaine, anesthesia, frying pan to the head or did you just take in a fuzzy cup?
I hope everything went well!

 

[Millie12591]

Hope you're feeling better, Nebo. Having teeth pulled is no fun, but at least you aren't smoking any more, you won't have the nasty dry socket to deal with (worst pain I ever had besides giving birth ). Just don't suck on a straw while you are healing over the next week or so.

 

[margymas]

Hi there Nebo and Smidgy! Just wanted you to know you're both in my thoughts and prayers. Hope all went well with the oral surgery and those nasty choppers are all gone (just the nasty ones -not "all" of them - I have visions of the Bumble from "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"). I know you're in great stead with Nurse Smidgy on the job. Take care and remember - no straws for a few days.

 

[cp'ersmom]

Hope you got the good stuff Nebo! See ya when everything wears off!

 

[smidgy]

Hi, and yeah, I know I'm behind on everthing, haven't even read all the posts on my jown thread, but before I do, I did want to share some more thoughts with you.

But these will be cheery thoughts.

I'm dying.

Well, that's how I feel right now.

And the light at the end of the tunnel turned into a "Do Not Enter" sign.

After the visit with Dentist the Menace turned out where he just passedd the buck onto an oral surgean, he gave me 3 references to one of those critters.

I called and called and called,,, and got voice mail, voice mail and voice mail.. I eventuallly got an appointment for last monday in the afternoon,,,, but they didn't take our Dental Plan,,, so I told the woman to hold off on marking it down in ink.

By the time aonother one got back to me,,,,"No,, he can't see you on such short notice,,, what/ are you stupid,,, find somebody else!,,,, and I called the first one back and that monday slot was now filled... Ok,, Tuesday morning it is.

Then Diane goes to work on it,,, and the third one finally gets bak to us,,, and they DO accept your discount plan.

But not till wednsday,,, ten o'clock.

We go,,and it turned out,,, this is the same guy who pulled a tooth for me last year,,,, I wrote about it then,,, and it wasn't pretty.

He has two different orifices,,, one in Lake in the Hills, one in McHenry,,,I saw him last year in LITH,,, wednsday it was in McHenry,,,,so yes,,, I was confused at first.

What really doesn't help with him as my doctor is that he has the same name as the Sean Penn character in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High".

But it was mostly his choice of words that really made me uncomfortable when he took all of 22 seconds to look inside my mouth.

Can I get the court transcripts here? Yes,,, Ok,,, Ill just use them, then.

Me; I've seen you before, havent I?
Dr: If that's your best pick up line, it needs work.
(yeah, he was proud of himself for that one)

Me: ok,, here's my best line,,, "so, does this look infected to you?" "Works on all the chicks."

Dr.; Ok, if you shut up, I'll let you know,, now open wide....



Dr: Oh,,, Oh,,, icky,,, you are oozing pus out of there,,, yuou can close your mouth now.

Me: I wasn't making it up athat it hurt,, believ,,

Dr: (impatiently) ok, here's what we have,,, ykou need three teeth pulled, but infection is still there,, itk's absessed, and if we do a local,,, it may seem at first like itjk's working allright,,, but there will be a lot of pain involved,,,and the injections themselves are going to hurt like hell since that area is still infected and oozing..

I highly suggest you get a general anestestia,,, it will be so much better on all of us. (this is another 500 bucks).

Well, I have finally gotten to the age of wisdom,, where you sometimes actually listen and take the advice of doctors,,, and I acquiessed to the going under thing..

But he couldn't take me till FRIDAY now,,,,it started out at High Noon friday,,,, but I just got a call from Smidgty at work and said they somehow got her cell number and the "number plumber" would be gone by noon friday,,, our new appointement is for 7;30 tomorrow morn!
The only time she does THIS time of the day is when we are at Disney.... so we are now going to have TWO,, count em, TWO,,, unhappy people in the car for this half hour drive there.

Pixie dust has never seemed so far away.
wish me luck, please?

 

[nebo]

Ok, I'm going to guess that MOST of you could figure out who really posted that last post, but I just couldn't leave it,,
had to go fix it, you know what I mean?
If it wasn't for Ponzi,,, I probably could have in good conscience,,,,but he would have been confused,,, and then I would have had to spend more time fixing that confusion,,,and it's like,,,, oh,,, just go back and set it straight. Know what I mean?

 

[mmeb144]

Oh, man! Going to the dentist early to do stuff you don't want. At least you should feel better afterwards, until the numbing stuff wears off.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Oh no, Nebo, what a journey, all the while in pain. I feel for you

At least you are getting the anestesia, SOO glad you decieded to pay for that. I will be worth it.

I did that too when I had 3 teeth pulled a couple of years ago. I didn't feel a thing, was just basically conked out on the couch the rest of the day and was fine the next morning.

Sending tons of

Forgot to mention: You'll get some pills for afterwards too, so dont worry too much.

 

[nowellsl]

Wishing you luck, pixie dust, prayers, whatever it takes

I can't believe they're making you wait so long - you'd think being in terrible pain would speed up the process!

Buy some frozen peas on your way home .... they make a good ice pack!
I had my wisdom teeth pulled (all 4) many years back, and let me tell ya, those were some good pain pills I wish I could remember what they were! I hope all goes well for you and you're feeling better soon!

 

[pkondz]

Hi, and yeah, I know I'm behind on everthing, haven't even read all the posts on my jown thread,

And there you have it. Smidgy says it's her thread.
Case closed.

I'm dying.

So's everybody...

everybody else.

I told you already. I'm going to live forever.

And the light at the end of the tunnel turned into a "Do Not Enter" sign.

Wouldn't that be a good thing? "No, you're not going to die quite yet. Sorry, back to life for you."

It's gotta be better then getting to the pearly gates and there's a sign saying, "detour"... and off you go to Hades.

By the time aonother one got back to me,,,,"No,, he can't see you on such short notice,,, what/ are you stupid,,, find somebody else!,,,,

That was just in the news up here, sorta. How difficult it is to see your doctor on short notice and the only alternative is going to the ER.

Then Diane goes to work on it,

Why are you referring to yourself in the third person, Smidgy?

He has two different orifices,

That's it??? Well... as a minimum I'm gonna guess a mouth for input and the other end for output.... but if he doesn't have eyes, how does he diagnose? I guess he could do a lot by sense of touch. And not having ears would certainly help with the screaming.

so yes,,, I was confused at first.

heh. "at first."

heh.

What really doesn't help with him as my doctor is that he has the same name as the Sean Penn character in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High".

First or last... or both??

To this day... Best. Surfer. Dude. Ever.

Me; I've seen you before, havent I?
Dr: If that's your best pick up line, it needs work.
(yeah, he was proud of himself for that one)

Considering he only has two orifices and still managed to become a dentist... he has every right to be proud.

IMHO

I highly suggest you get a general anestestia,,, it will be so much better on all of us. (this is another 500 bucks).

500 bucks! Why don't you just pick a concrete walkway somewhere and tip over backwards?

Worked before.

I acquiessed to the going under thing..

Oh, please, please, please Smidgy. Video Nebo when he's coming around and post it. Please? Pretty please? With sugar on top?

Those videos are hillarious.

Did everyone see the one where the girl had her wisdom teeth out and didn't know what was going on?

Girl, confused: "What's in my mouth?"
Mom, patiently: "You've got some gauze in your mouth?"
Gir, still confused: "Wha's in my mouth?"
Mom, amused: "There's gauze in your mouth."
Girl, incredulously: "God's in my mouth?!??"

our new appointement is for 7;30 tomorrow morn!

Oh, geez. On the one hand... good, let's get it over with. On the other hand... couldn't it wait until next year? Or the year after?

The only time she does THIS time of the day is when we are at Disney.

There ya go again Diane, referring to yourself in the third person.

... so we are now going to have TWO,, count em, TWO,,, unhappy people in the car for this half hour drive there.

But we'll all be there with you in spirit!

(Well after we've slept in and had breakfast at a decent normal time of morning/afternoon... but after that, we're all yours!)

Pixie dust has never seemed so far away.
wish me luck, please?

Kidding aside, 100% good luck! I really hope it goes smoothly and you're soon pain free.

Ok, I'm going to guess that MOST of you could figure out who really posted that last post, but I just couldn't leave it,,
had to go fix it, you know what I mean?
If it wasn't for Ponzi,,, I probably could have in good conscience,,,,but he would have been confused,,, and then I would have had to spend more time fixing that confusion,,,and it's like,,,, oh,,, just go back and set it straight. Know what I mean?

What? What are you talking about? You had to go back and fix Smidgy's post? I don't get it.

What?

 

[nebo]

Um, can't talk much now, can't really see much now, but have to say, i love you guys.

You truly are my reason to carry on, my reason to go on living to not Chuck it all as they say. And if not for Ponzi,,, well, I wouldn't have a reason to want to get evne with anybody either.... but we'lll see how the next two days unfold. Yes,, been a bad couple weeks,,, No, I know I haven't cornered the market on bad weeks,,, but it certainly applied here, anyways.

Nebo, you'll be fine! Just get the frying pan over the head treatment, you'll never know anything.

Oh thank you fraulein, I knew you'd feel for me. Have you got the Luger or the Schmeisser ready for when it needs to be ended in a hurry, for my benefit? Ok, if it comes to that, a Panzer will suffice,,,,HEY, it worked on Jackson in Saving Private Ryan, but Getting Private Jackson's Head blown Off!" Great movie!

As long as your're not Private Jackson!

OR Private Mellish.
Or Corporeal Medic Wade.
Or Private Caparzo who wanted to bring along some French kids on the expedition.
Or Mike,,,, and captatin Miller,,,,,,, yes< i was fascinatad by the moveie,,,, and hated it at the same time.

Would you believe I saw it twice before i knew that it was Sam from Cheers that played a role in it?

I can't wait to get back to normal,,,, whatever that may be.

But don't hold back now,,,, when I do,, I'll come out fire-ing,,,, so take advantage of the lull in offensive operatiions now,,,, trust me,,, I WILL be back,,,, maybe talkibng a bit funny at first,,,, ok,,, typing funny also,,, but I WILL be back.!!

Boy howdy, I'm so far behind!! Just getting well after another nasty respiratory infection. Nothing like finding out your allergic to an antibiotic, at the END of ten days of dosing! It was dicey for a while, but since the meds are out of my system I can BREATHE again!



Please don't say that! In early Dec, we had a bat get in our house... twice!!! Heck of an adrenaline rush, getting roused out of sleep at 3am on a Sunday morning with a REAL LIVE BAT flying above your bed. And a second (or same??) one paid a visit the following Friday evening. Let's just say that Critter Control is still on speed dial, even though the hole in the chimney has been patched. Every time an errant curl of my own hair bounces in my peripheral vision, I think it's another invader!! Jumpy much???? Yeah. And I think I need a haircut.



Oh, I hate to hear that, Nebo. That really stinks.



Yowie! Good luck with that, I know what you're going through!! My dad recently had 2 cracked/broken/abcessed teeth removed, and is still in process of getting the partial fitted. I'll be pulling for you... um, I mean, thinking about you!!

((chuckle))


Hugs to all of us here who have been battling assorted illnesses and traumas. Here's hoping everything is looking up! And high-fives and congrats for all the good stuff I've missed!!

So did you get the Novocaine, anesthesia, frying pan to the head or did you just take in a fuzzy cup?
I hope everything went well!

Hope you're feeling better, Nebo. Having teeth pulled is no fun, but at least you aren't smoking any more, you won't have the nasty dry socket to deal with (worst pain I ever had besides giving birth ). Just don't suck on a straw while you are healing over the next week or so.

Hi there Nebo and Smidgy! Just wanted you to know you're both in my thoughts and prayers. Hope all went well with the oral surgery and those nasty choppers are all gone (just the nasty ones -not "all" of them - I have visions of the Bumble from "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"). I know you're in great stead with Nurse Smidgy on the job. Take care and remember - no straws for a few days.

Hope you got the good stuff Nebo! See ya when everything wears off!

Aw shucks.

Now I can't make fun of you when you get all mooshy like that.


Oh, sure I can.

(But we feel the same way, dude.)

And if not for Ponzi,,, well, I wouldn't have a reason to want to get evne with anybody either....

What? After all the nice things I've....

oh.

Disregard the above.

but we'lll see how the next two days unfold. Yes,, been a bad couple weeks,,, No, I know I haven't cornered the market on bad weeks,,, but it certainly applied here, anyways.

Ok, if it comes to that, a Panzer will suffice,,,,HEY, it worked on Jackson in Saving Private Ryan, but Getting Private Jackson's Head blown Off!" Great movie!,,,,,, yes< i was fascinatad by the moveie,,,, and hated it at the same time.

I hear ya. I thought it was so good after seeing it that I bought it... and haven't watched it in at least 10 years.

Would you believe I saw it twice before i knew that it was Sam from Cheers that played a role in it?

What????? Now I guess I'll have to go watch it again.

I can't wait to get back to normal,,,, whatever that may be.

Honestly dude? Not much different then right now. But usually with less pain for you and more for us.

I WILL be back,,,, maybe talkibng a bit funny at first,,,, ok,,, typing funny also,,, but I WILL be back.!!

So... SNAFU?

Yeahh, I'm all consucutiated right now,,, who posted last, was it me uner her name,, or me under jerk's name?
Yes, I have one hour left beforre the y shoo t me tomorrow fore drinking afet the Deadzone line befor e the sturgery.

Ya know? I gotta try them vikes one o' these days.

And believe it or nor,,, I reallyk am a nice kind of guy,,, you know,,, won of those neaybogrors that you like to say hi to in the morniging,,,

Wouldn't that be cool, though?

Then again, we'd either be best buds or we'd be lobbing pet do-do over the fence into each others yards.

the kind of guy who makes your day with a clever witty line first thing in the morn,

I think you're half right!

I have filed a last will and testicle , to leave behind somethings I reallly would like you to have.

You can't say something like that and just leave it dangling!

No, ok,,, this is going to hurt,,, but you are definately in the awesome side.

You read it here first folks. Please bookmark this spot for future reference.

bbut now I have to tell yo that I HATE carrotsw,,, nutting good in there whatsoever.

I gotta know. Even brown sugar candied carrots?

Take care buddy.

 

[cjlvsccm]

Prayers for a safe and successful procedure, Nebo. Hoping it was good anesthesia, and better pain meds for after!! Sleep it off and rest easy!

 

[Heluvsme]

I hope today finds you feeling much, MUCH better.

Sending you feel-good vibes, healing vibes, and all my get well wishes I can muster!

Oh, and I hate the news on your eyes isn't better. I really do. I am technically "legally" blind, although with correction I can make do, and I do make do, but the myopic progession downhill has stopped for me, at least for now. You may find your other senses will sharpen (or they already have). But please know, you have my good thoughts and pixie dust!!



Dawn

 

[CoolMom2112]

Feel better Nebo!

I can't believe I caught up on my reading of this thread!

Congrats to all those new grads, and soon to be new~ish grandparents and everything else I've missed out on in my post-Disney no new ticker winter funk.

 

[pkondz]

Nebo update

I called Nebo around 1:30pm Winnipeg time. Chicago time, that would be... let's see... divide the zones by a third, multiply by half... carry the one.... 1:30pm Chicago time.

I didn't want to disturb him and wasn't sure if they'd be even home yet, so I had two scenarios that I thought would happen.

1. They weren't back from McHenry yet... even though it's only about a 30 minute drive. Factor in the time for the smack over the head with the frying pan... followed by a second smack since Nebo's got a thick skull... then the surgery, recovery, etc... I thought I'd just leave a message saying I was thinking of him and hoped it went well.

2. They were back. And Smidgy would answer the phone since Nebo'd be too groggy or too in pain or too mouth swollen... or whatever... to talk.


The phone rings a few times and the machine picks up. A ha! Scenario #1 it is.

I start to leave a message when someone clicks on the line. Imagine my surprise when I hear Nebo's voice!


I won't go into detail about what we chatted about, but the important details are (and he'll tell the story in his usual witty repartee way)

They had trouble finding a vein... but they obviously found one eventually.
He said it went pretty smoothly
He had just taken (I missed the word... but I'm assuming it was 'gauze') a wad of something out of his mouth.
They gave him a whole bunch of fun new pills... but unfortunately, only the "little" vikes.
