Purrs needed here too!
This town's torando warning sirens started blaring around 8:45 AM but I was
already aware of the situation thanks to the NOAA Weather Radio that Dave got me for Christmas. It had just reported that a funnel cloud was on the ground 9 miles west of us and was headed this way @ 55mph so it was a bit of a rush to get into the basement. Dave went down first to keep the cats from jumping back up into the main part of the house because I could catch them and hand them down there faster than he could. But on the way down he fell onto his back and somehow cut his hand badly.... There was blood all over the place by the time I got down there. We only managed to get six of the nine kitties to safety, the other hid out I know not where. The rain was coming down harder and faster than I have ever seen in my life and there was no time to lose. The tornado bypassed us but we both got hurt. Dave was limping around all day and I've been in serious pain all week from - of all things - an anesthetic injection I got at the dentist. My jaw hurts at the site of the shot and I can't open my mouth wide enough to eat without a lot of pain. I never had such a reaction to a dental injection before, and I'm wondering what to do about it. The shot was given on Thursday 2/24 but the most pain started about three days later and has been getting steadily worse. |

It's the only time I have had that reaction, and it was extremely painful. I had a crown put in, and I suspect that having the mouth open for so long may have exacerbated it, but I knew when the injection was made that something was wrong because I have never had such pain from that procedure. You definitely should check with the dentist, but in my case I could not even open my mouth wide enough to eat a bananna! There's good news and bad news if yours is the same as mine. The bad news is that the pain lasted for several weeks, only gradually getting better. But the good news is that it *did* eventually resolve itself, just as the dentist said it would (or should).

I am so glad I started, rather scooter started getting the cats in the dog
cage when there is a storm. When I put the cage in the hallway, all three go in and lay down. Sadie the dog has to get used to this but, I put her in there yesterday and she styled for 30 minutes before wanting out. At least if something goes wrong, I hope to be able to get them into a carrier fairly quickly. But, you know the "best laid plans of mice and men...." "Kyla =^..^=" wrote in message ... "John F.

MaryL Please let me clarify something that I wrote. In my case, I knew that something was wrong as the injection was being made. However, the dentist always grasps the area and moves it back and forth. That is apparently intended to distract the mind from the insertion of the needle. However, that is not usually painful, and it was that time (and I have gone to the same dentist for many years). So, I really think that either he was too vigorous or that the injection itself caused the problem, possibly a combination of the two. And, as I said earlier, my mouth had to remain open for longer than usual while he worked on a crown, so that could have put stress in that area. Otherwise, it was very much has you described. When I saw the dentist, he suggested eating soft foods for awhile. Well, I can't think of anything much softer than a banana, but even that was painful (and it was impossible to open my mouth wide enough to eat the banana without first cutting it into pieces). Fortunately, this did heal by itself in time, just as he predicted. MaryL |

As of this morning, I probably couldn't eat a whole banana either. |
