Mixed feelings about the bands. I love that they stabilize my bite. It feels safe and secure. But that's the only upside.

It's, of course, creating a hygiene issue in my mouth, but amazingly, rinsing has worked well. Also, the antibiotics play a major part, I'd think.

Watching Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood over the past few days has calmed me greatly. Sounds silly, I know. It's a kid show. He makes me believe all is well for a little while anyway.

Mr. Rogers definitely has a calming effect.. I can remember my little siblings falling asleep sucking their thumbs when he was on TV in the afternoon.

I liked Daniel. I think he was a lion cub in the land of make believe.

Developed nausea tonight after taking the antibiotics. Feel awful. Slightly concerned about vomiting. I think I'm going to take a spoonful of yogurt and water it down, and drink.

I hope you can get the yoghurt down....can you sip water, slowly?
Sometimes that helps ease the nausea a little.

Maybe it's in my head, but I ate yogurt off a spoon slowly, and it seems to have helped almost instantly.

That's great re the yoghurt!

And I know...antibiotics can cause tummy problems.
But at least they are doing their job, and that's paramount.

Thank you love ~ you're probably lucky I don't live closer though; carers are pretty hard to stop. I would have been on your doorstep.

Ugh. It's back. My stomach is gurgling and seems very upset.

I don't feel like I'm close to vomiting. That's good.

I'll mention this tomorrow at my doc appt.

Yes, indeed, he may be able to prescribe anti-nausea meds.

They placed a anti-nausea patch behind my right ear just before surgery (or maybe it was after; memory is hazy now). It lasted 72 hours. I might ask for that again.
