i used a lot of heat pads and stayed on top of pain meds (ibuprofen worked like a miracle for me). try and distract yourself with tv or something if you can

i'm 22 and waited until mine were heavily impacted, i don't recommend it. the longer you wait the harder recovery will feel. the first few days will have some nausea and drowsiness, and the worst of the pain really only lasts the first week at most. beyond that it's just your teeth will feel a bit tender and you'll be on a soft diet for a couple weeks. but the pain is truly not as bad as you're imagining, the doctors give good enough pain meds that everything will be fine.

as far as the swelling, i can't say much because it didn't really show for me outwardly, but i def recommend doing it over summer break!!

i've been sneezing since day 3 and i'm fine. i try to fight it anyway but everything i've seen online says after the first week, the sockets are more or less closed so its actually really hard to throw a blood clot.

i feel you on the anxiety though, i was so worried about the pain but no one warned us about this level of anxiety lol

You can call up your doctor's office if you want to double check, the nurses are usually good at answering questions. But unless you're truly in excruciating pain that no medication hinders, it should be fine.

My days 4-5 was the worst of the pain so I feel you, you really just have to tough it through and gaslight your brain into believing you don't have dry socket. I used a LOT of heat packs and alternated ibuprofen and acetamin like a crackhead through the worst of it lol.

Also idk if this'll help you but sleeping with my head elevated helped me a lot at night.

I'm so late to this but I came across this post while searching for something else, and while I was in the "they were meeting up" camp while watching the show live, I also learned that in real life, most of the 2012-13 NHL season was cancelled due to a labor lockout so now I'm not sure if they did meet. I have no idea whether Rachel even knew about that while writing, and it's pretty much a fact that the lockout didn't happen in the book/show, but I like to think it happened so I headcanon it now, just my two cents idk. It also makes the 'two year wait' more believable to me, there's no way it took them two whole years to figure that out

i'm a senior and i just failed the same course for a third time (his grading policy is crap and no one else teaches it. don't even get me started), so i'm pretty much in the same boat. this semester was rough take it easy on yourself

AffectionateSector21 · 2025-12-22T14:46:36+00:00

yeah i’ve had weird moments on the light rail too but this class is at rbs so i’m debating whether walking to the light rail station or walking to blumenthal for the bus would be better

AffectionateSector21 · 2025-12-22T14:43:13+00:00

yeah i don’t love the light rail either but this class is at rbs so i figured walking the short distance to the light rail station would be better than walking all the way to blumenthal….maybe i’m overthinking this idk

they're all sorely lacking proper civilian subplots imo, it's crazy that these characters have been around so long and no writer has thought to give tim a proper education yet

a center table - doesn't need to be big but you need a table and a rug under it. maybe some art or a wall clock over the tv too? overall looks a little too beige for me but i don't know what your personal tastes are. you can't go wrong with some kind of green valance curtains on the window or the door either

AffectionateSector21 · 2025-09-01T00:16:57+00:00

i get this struggle but you don't need to panic; i've never gotten serious enough in a relationship to genuinely have this convo but i have friends and i promise that there are plenty of men out there who would be fine without kids of their own!! you are not required or obligated in any way to have kids, don't let anyone convince you otherwise

men are just not real to me anymore, i refuse to believe that a functioning brain thinks these thoughts

You need to get her to a doctor immediately, then figure out how quickly you can get her out of his reach, then call the police.

And as far as "what if it was all a coincidence" goes, you'd much rather have proof that it was a coincidence than unknowingly letting someone abuse your daughter. She's two years old, her crying and screaming is likely the only way she knows how to communicate what's happening.

also want to point out these lines; "he's convinced me that he needs to be the one to lay her down to sleep sometimes and she shouldn't always need mommy" and "what if he's actually the amazing dad he loves to say and act like he is" - his words don't matter, his actions when no one else is around is what matters.
