Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Rash?

So for the last week in November I had some super-duper headaches! I kept popping Aleves to keep it at bay. On the 31st I went out dancing and even booze wasn't keeping my headache under control! I felt like a total party pooper! I didn't want to do anything but I didn't want to bitch to anyone about my head.
When I woke up on Wednesday I had a major tooth ache and I figured that what was causing my headache. I took some painkillers and didn't really think much of it but then later in the day it began to REALLY hurt. So I took MORE pain killers and ventured to Mitsuwa to get some yummy ramen. Oh the trip there was friggin miserable and I regretted my choice to pick food that was that far away. When I got home I popped some more painkillers and knocked out.
When I woke up Thursday my face was friggin' huge! Well half of it anyway... I was a lopsided chipmunk! So I went to work for about an hour to take care of some stuff then I ventured to the dentist. After a long time waiting, because the squeezed me in, the dentist took a look at me. My wisdom teeth were impacted and they messed up the teeth in front of them and those teeth were infected. So he gave me some druggies (Hydrocondone and Amoxicillin) and scheduled an appointment to remove my wisdoms and my icky infected tooth.
I spent the days in between the dentist visit and my surgery in agony! I had pain killers but it wore off a lot and it hurt like nobody's business! On top of that I had to work and nothing sucks more than a tooth ache.
I went to the dentist a day early because they had an opening on Wednesday the 8th at 10:00AM. I got all numbed up and they began to process of removing my teeth. He removed the two teeth in front of my wisdom tooth and it felt like hours and hours of insane pressure and some pain. He went to try and remove my wisdom tooth and he couldn't because it was infused with the bone.
Quickly after my dentist realized he didn't have the tools to remove it slowly the dental assistant rushed me to a surgeon across town. They got me in pretty quickly and checkout my mouth. I filled out some paperwork and paid them then I was taken to the surgery room. It looked so scary! Like a horror movie! It wasn't unsanitary or anything it was just all the sharp stuff and the chair with arm straps! They made me put on a hair cap and draped me with a bib like thing. I was shaking I was so nervous! Finally the surgeon came in. He was super nice and cute! I took a deep breath and closed my eyes and opened my mouth. They numbed me up some more and began to remove the two wisdom teeth on the left side. The top tooth came out easypeasy and was rather painless. Minutes felt like hours and hours as they removed some of the infected tissue from my gums and began hacking at my bottom tooth. He said it was super hard because it was fused with my jaw bone and that I have the strongest bones he has ever seen in his life. No osteoporosis for me! Yay!
When they were done the receptionist from the dentist was already there to pick me up and she took me to get my proscriptions from Rite Aid. After I got them I made the trek home and it was awful! They told me not to even walk around the house for the next 24 hours at least and what do I do? Walk three friggin blocks! It felt like miles and miles and my mouth was bleeding like crazy.
When I got home I had some pudding, took some pain killers, and knocked the hell out. I was cool for Thursday I just kept taking the pain killers and antibiotics and slept a lot. My boss brought me more water too which was super nice of her! On friday I woke up with a rash on my legs from the antibiotics. By saturday morning it had spread to my arms and tummy and this morning it was every worse! I looked like a burn victim!
Today I took an oatmeal bath and drank a ton of water as I was instructed to do and it has faded a little. I plan on going back to work tomorrow and working through the itchyness! Wish me luck!!
