Posting this update at the top so everyone can see it: I'm home now. Had a lot of tests and shit done at the ER, some of which I won't know the results of until tomorrow. I'm sorry I can't give a full update. I was severely dehydrated and have some paperwork about how I need to have a follow up with my PCP. I am extremely tired, and I will answer all the personal kosmails I received tonight as soon as I am able. For now I just want to sleep. One thing is for certain: the extractions caused an extreme case of vertigo which I find hilarious for some reason.
I am so very sorry for worrying everyone so much. That was not my intent- I thought this all might be a normal reaction to my current circumstance and simply wanted to commiserate with peeps who've been in the same boat. I'm reading through the comments and really feel like an asshole for stressing out so many of you. And I especially feel terrible for the situation I put Thinking Fella in- but, seriously, is he not the coolest guy ever? I love that man and am so happy that we've become friends IRL.
Anyway, I'm really embarrassed by this whole thing and I want to delete this diary to save some face. I feel terrible for all the worry I've caused, but I think this diary quit being mine hours ago. It now belongs to everyone- a testament to what this community really is.
Thank you all, and please accept my sincerest apologies. I was blessed with the talent of having a way with words but in this case, I really have none. Just that I love you all, and I am truly sorry.
Going to sleep now that Thinking Fella will allow it :-)

Sorry to post such a non-substantive diary, but I feel really horrible right now. As I documented in my last diary, I had six teeth pulled on Wednesday. I hate narcotics so I didn't want to take any of the Vicodin that was prescribed to me, but my mom and gf ganged up on me to make me take one so that once the anesthetic wore off, I'd have a wall of defense.
I took maybe a total of four or five over the course of Wednesday afternoon and Thursday, but Thursday night I was crawling I out of my skin and remembered why I hate narcotics.
But today I feel really weird. When I stand up my whole face goes numb like it's falling asleep, and the room doesn't spin so much as tremble.
I am more exhausted than I remember ever being, but I can't sleep. I'm sitting next to an open window right now and it's pouring rain outside, but I'm hot.
I feel like my body is made of putty. I wanted to call my mom for advice, but then I remembered that I called her at about noon today. It took me almost half an hour to remember that conversation. I don't want to call her again because I don't want to worry her.
Gf is out of town working and everyone else is in Boise. My SIL lives nearby but her one year son just had minor surgery so I don't want to bother her.
has anyone else experie3nced this feeling? It's like I'm a helium balloon that's deflating. I don't know who to explain it, but I don't feel right.
Is this normal after having six teeth pulled? Maybe the anesthetic is wering off? The dentist injected me with nerve blockers, whatever that is, maybe this is the hangover?
I don't know, just feeling kind of lost and a little bit afraid right now.
