Hurting

My mouth is killing me! I got my wisdom teeth pulled this morning, and I can't describe how much my mouth is killing me right now. I guess it could be worse than it is, but man! I'm going to get through this but only with the help of a lot of meds. Tonight is the big night...the first World Series game...and I will be in attendance. I know I just got my teeth pulled, but I don't care..I'm in there. I have a ball at Red Sox games. As for basketball, we just came back from NY. We spent three days there and had back to back games. I think the games went well. We keep getting stronger as a team, and that's always good. There is this one place in NY that I love to eat at..it's called Amy Ruth's..I went there a few times while I was in NY. If you're ever in NY, you should try it out. We have a game Friday. I'm looking forward to being better by then, so I should be playing. I will let yall know how the next few days for me go...I'll holla! O...and I put the picture of me and E. House up so yall can see it.

  I got my wisdom teeth out too recently. The first day was hell, but after that you should be good(other than not being able to eat solid food without pain lol). Good luck with the recovery.

  Hey Rajon, thanks for keeping us in the loop. I saw you took a big hit in the Philly game too man, scared me!! Stay safe and rest up ALL you can. It's going to be a long season once the first 82 games are over!

  Pain following tooth extraction varies in levels of "discomfort". Contiuous and sustained, knawing pain generally suggests a "dry socket" (osteitis) due to lack of blood clot FORMATION (covering exposed bone/nerve endings in the extraction socket) or blood clot disolution (enzymatic) exposing socket bone/nerve endings. Your dentist can diagnose the difference. Can osteitis be treated?
  Prompt treatment by your oral surgeon can relieve the pain through placement of a medicated and sedative dressing in the socket. This dressing may need to be changed periodically to maintain comfort.
  Swelling (edema) is common following 3rd molar extraction and could indicate a common consequence of surgical extraction or a healing complication due to infection. How to tell the difference? Normal post surgical swelling stabilies by day three and then starts to regress while post op infection differs in that the swelling is progressively worse after day 3. Post op antibiotics are required to reverse infection.
  Hope this brief explanation helps.

  Wisdom Teeth are overrated. Be glad you got rid of those things. They were just weighing you down.

  I got all 4 of mine out in September .. the pain was horrible. I guess some folks recover quick, mine took 3-4 weeks before I was back. Stay strong RR, keep working out, and be bold about food when you feel your ready. I do have to say it's some much nicer not having those teeth anymore. 1 thing and I gotta say this, keep doing what you're doing, don't be afraid to probe defenses in the half court set. Kidd used to do this all the time and now with finishers you will rack up assits or layups. Go Celtics and feel better bro.

  Ouchh man. Good luck with it.
  Basketball wise, Id like to see you look for your shot. Especially during pre-season. That would open up so much space, because once you hit a few, or even take, so they know it might be coming, with your incredible speed you can blow by pretty much anyone.
  I'll watch the 82 games this season, plus the journey to the finals ;)
  good luck man.

  Oh yeah, I was reading this blog from 2007, not thinking that you were only 21 there, and reading that you got your wisdom teeth out! My older brother got his out when he was 20, he's 21 now! He's pretty cool too! I also found it really good that you know when to stop playing those gambling games when they become a little too much. Well keep up all the awesome work!!! :) <333
