Wisdom teeth out Tuesday. And I guess they'll give Norco. I've never had anything stronger than Tylenol or ibuprofen before and I'm kinda scared of meds tbh. But I'm scared of the dentist and getting teeth yanked, too.

It's so much easier to deal with stuff when you're not the pt.

Non medical Advice for dealing with this? Suggestions for how to chill out?

I never even took my Norco when I had mine out. Ibuprofen did the trick.

Not supposed to have NSAIDs. Haven't taken it in like 10 years.

But I think I saw Tylenol was decently effective by itself for pain.

Then again. I take too much of it anyway.

I can’t say. I still have my wisdom teeth.

I thought the chat room was for day to day conversations?

Well, have my advisor meeting for the EMT program tomorrow. I let my license go bc it had been so long since I had used it. If this summer job works out, I'll try to work my way back to another go at EMS as my main job. If not... well, there's more to life. Just I really enjoyed EMS and I felt I was adequate at it and could have become a quite competent provider given time.

You mean to go to school again to be a basic?

I thought this was a thread with no topic where people could chime in with whatever they please...
Hey man, I’m JS. Calm yourself, cool breeze. They genuinely asked how to separate daily convo from banter.

There is a difference, you know? Or maybe you don’t. Doesn’t matter much to me.

@DragonClaw you’ll get there. I’m just saying, if you’re seeking day-to-day advice as seen by the slew of posts you put up here, there are other ways to go about it.

We can’t help figure “you” out. Only you can. Anyhow, cheers all. I’m off to some Bob Seger and a few shots of gin...

I'm (not) afraid to say I don't know the difference, actually.

What other ways do you recommend?
