Well, this sucked...

So I figured a three day weekend was a good excuse to finally deal with my wisdom teeth. I had them out on Wednesday morning. I was a little congested that morning. By Thursday evening, I was in the middle of a full-blown flu. I'm pretty sure all the sneezing managed to dislodge one of the blood clots, so I've been having dry socket. I recommend against, if you have the choice.

I've been drinking infinite amounts of hot tea with honey, and taking a Tylenol every four hours. Other than that, I've been sleeping, a lot.

Being sick sucks. Being sick through a three (four) day weekend, really sucks. And being sick enough that I'll probably not make it to work on Monday either really really sucks.

My dentist recommended placing a tea bag over the "hole." It tastes kind of bitter, depending on the tea, but it also worked.

I'll think healthy thoughts your way!
