You think they'll at least give me some good drugs?

I got Tylenol III after getting my wisdom teeth out.  I spent most of the next few days asleep.

I also fell asleep during the procedure under local anesthetic and the silly gas.

Last _{or do I have to get high before and after the procedure?} Post

They should knock you out pretty good (I had an IV, not the happy gas); for pain afterwords they gave me ketorolac which was excellent for the pain (lasted almost exactly 6 hours... generally kicked out about 15 minutes before I had to take the next one) but without any um, 'undesireable' side effects. 

So I still had the pleasure of doing the 100 km daily drive to college.  I wish they had given me something discombobulating instead so I could sit at home (they were nicer for the appendix).

Last _{so don't get high before, and don't mix drugs & alcohol with anaesthetics for a while after}Post

Yaaarrrrgh! Oi jest had the string tied to the doornob and all 4 owt at once.

[Aggie]

Hah, I think doorknobs were tougher in those days.


Last _{mine were mined, as they were hiding from the nasty doorknob} Post

[Sibling Lambicus the Toluous]

Yarr, but that were after a fair bit o' "anasthetic", were it not?

... a few bottles of dark Jamaican anasthetic, if I recall... though I may be mistaken, since I was a bit anasthetized myself.  Arr.

Last _{rum rum rum rum} Post

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Speaking of anesthetizing yourself, I just drank a full bottle of wine.

Last _{pity I can't do this more often}  Post

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

Could someone send a few Jamaican anasthetics over to me.

I can't fall asleep once again...


Last _{although not sure if rum would be the thing that would cure my insomnia, but why not have some fun while awake} Post

[Griffin NoName]

No Jamaicans but how about this?

When a classmate got a wisom tooth pulled, I feared that I would have to suffer the same. When I some time later went to the dentist, he told me that 2 would have to be pulled (I even agreed seeing the x-rays). When I saw the dental surgeon about it he said: We will pull these 2 then and the other two 4 weeks later. A few years later I lost another 2 (the #7 on both sides).

Actually the extraction by dental surgeon itself was faster and less painful than normal dentistry. The nasty time came a few hours afterwards.

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

The "few hours afterwards" is the messy part...

Not looking forward to it anyway...


Last _{I hate dentists} Post

[Swatopluk]

And no alcohol afterwards for a week!

Last _{that would be a reason, at least for you, wouldn't it?} Post

[Aggie]

A WEEK?! 


Oh, Kiyo...  can you survive?


Last _{an extra 2C's and 4H's with my H2O} Post

Ethylene is not that water soluble 
But it's a signal substance and/or pheromone for some species.

If you heat both together with the right catalyst, another eth- substance may be produced.

Last _{again deliberately misunderstanding} Post

[Aggie]

Animal species?  Believe it or not, I've seen diagrams for how to arrange walk-in coolers to prevent unwanted effects from ethylene off-gassing. 

And I love empirical formulae; so many possibilities.... 

Just found this:

In mild doses, ethylene produces states of euphoria, associated with stimulus to the pleasure centres of the human brain. It has been hypothesised that human liking for the odours of flowers is due in part to a mild action of ethylene associated with the plant. Many geologists and scholars believe that the famous Greek Oracle at Delphi (the Pythia) went into her trance-like state as an affect of ethylene rising from ground faults.

It has been shown that ethylene is produced from essentially all parts of higher plants, including leaves, stems, roots, flowers, fruits, tubers, and seedlings.

Let's go get a big bag of apples and huff 'em! Also explains my love of houseplants, and the habit of leaving fruit out.

Better yet, while we're playing with plant hormones, I suspect there are some lovely recipes utilizing auxin (IAA) as a precursor.
