Reason of the purchase had nothing to do with the unexpected pain thing.
Anyways, knowing I was going to be celebrating my new property, and also necessitating trips to town as cabs will not come out here (road is REAL bad) - purchased a professional breathalizer on-line for $400.
Now that I am "drinking it up" more than I ever did, not celebrating so much, just killing the pain and my brain a bit.
One time, after a morning binge, a meal and a nap I was getting ready to go to town - decided to use the brealyzer - blew .060.
I stayed home.
ANOTHER evening, just before dinner - rough day - checked after almost 10 hours of drinking - blew .400!
That's 8 times the legal limit.
And I'm still alive (not sure about my liver though).
Another day, blew .360.
Today - did chores driving around and didn't get home till about 6pm. Chored around my new place, pounding down the beers, pain subsided somewhat, made a meal, took me almost an hour to eat it - blew .267.
And I don't feel drunk.
The pain meds cost about 2 bucks a day - and I functioned normally.
Beer? - about 20 bucks a day, and not so normal.
And the pain is still there.
No sign of infection - careful to inspect my gum (lower) a few times a day, and rinse with a mouthwash after eating.
Extractions were on the 10th - so if the dry socket schedule is correct, my pain should be mostly gone by the middle of June.
Meanwhile, I'm "crippled" because the docs won't prescribe me medication I need.
"Free Health Care" my ass.
They do not "care" at all.
