Holy crap I have been so freaking spaced out this week. It all started after my dental appointment on Tuesday where I had a rogue molar extracted that had been working its way out for the last almost 20 years. It had finally developed a cavity in the tooth, and without a companion molar on the bottom to butt up against it would eventually just fall out. The dentist and I decided it was just better to pull it since I had no intention of getting a tooth implant in the bottom gum.
To say the extraction was difficult is quite an understatement...One of the roots of the molar extended about 180 degrees in the opposite direction from the other two roots. At least now I know why it had taken almost 20 years and it was still firmly in my gums. After several different tools and a new, bigger pair of 'yankers' she did everything but put her foot in my chest to extract the tooth and it finally came free. I was left with a bit gaping hole in the back of my mouth that resembled the bat cave and have been taking it easy food wise since then. I have mostly just taken Aleve when my mouth gets sore, and only took half a Percocet the night after surgery to take care of the pain.
I have been doing kind of a juice detox/cleanse the last two days so maybe it is the toxins coming out of my body/blood stream that are causing the spaciness and tiredness. Only I don't remember feeling this way during my last detox...and I am taking my vitamins and fish oil too, and keeping hydrated so I don't think it is that. I would think it was maybe hypoglycemia if I was dizzy, but I'm not.
So I have no idea why I feel so spaced out and exhausted...the local anesthetic should have worn off way before now and the percocet is definitely out of my system, I think. So what gives?
