    For those of you who still care, I think I owe you an explanation.

    I don't think most of you are going to want to hear this. I'm going to lead with the TL;DR though.

    I don't really want to continue writing, at least not on this site. Integration is, at present, on an indefinite hiatus.

    The long version:

    Give me your honest opinions, please.

    I've been working on the next chapter of Integration, and I have to admit that I have been less than thrilled with the reception it's been getting. At one point, a reader who I will not name posted 18 comments in a row both on Integration and on Adaptation. Each and every one of those comments was a complaint about something or another. It was the 18 comments posted back to

    A New Avatar, and "Where have you been, CoAlFire?" answered.

    First off, a nice shiny new avatar which I borrowed from Google Images.

    If any of you can find the source for it, I invite you to please leave that information for me in the comments here so that I can give credit to the artist on my user page.

    Why was it changed from the cute Echo?

    Tonight, now that work is over, I shall write.

    I cannot say if I will publish a chapter tonight, but I will get some measure of work done.

    The analgesic and courage-enhancing effects of vitamin B (beer) have spurred me to a sense of creativity and audacity which, I hope, will enable me to write productively for the first time since my wisdom teeth began fucking my world up.

    Well fuck you, pain, I don't feel you right now! Ha!

    So, remember that wisdom tooth extraction a few months back?

    Well it turns out it's REALLY fucked me up.

    The entire time since that procedure, I haven't felt right. My bite is off, my teeth are incredibly sensitive, and nothing the dentist has done has come remotely close to helping.

Thanks so much for this. I'm getting mine out tomorrow...

You'll have company in your suffering.

Maybe they're a time release?

I remember that myself. Only way to handle it is use as prescribed. DO NOT TAKE EXTRA! That is the path to addiction that you are worried about.

4469606 It's not so bad now actually. Body gets used to the pain. Still hurts like hell but it's not so mind numbing anymore. You'll be okay.

4469685 I do not know what they are but I do know that if they are working as intended, I do not want to experience what this pain would be like without them.


4469812 I am strictly sticking to the dosage recommended by my doctor.

It's rough, you will ache, you will feel like death warmed over for about three days roughly. if you can, sleep, and it goes fast-ish.

4470312 Day 2 preliminary report, approximately 23 hours post-op.

Woke up this morning as though I were coming out of a coma. Turns out Vicodin makes me sleep like a baby once I finally get tired. Strangely enough, my sleep was quite pleasant.

However, during my comatose sleep, it would seem that my meds wore off. The sensation when I awoke was... less than pleasant.

I am now about 1.5 hours post morning-dose, and feel... meh. I feel meh.

The upper sockets give me minimal discomfort, but my lower jaw where the two bony impactions were removed is remarkably sore, even though the Vicodin. This is not my idea of a good time.

I have run out of yogurt and am rapidly running out of applesauce. I have some soups on standby as well, but my jaw hurts too much to chew anything in earnest as of yet. As such, I am now approaching 1.5 days without solid food and fear that I may begin to lose my mind should my ability to chew not return soon.

As is tradition, I shall now engage in melodrama. Ahem.

Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen.

4470353 Sounds like you are doing better than I did. I felt like someone took a hammer to me all over. I couldn't even walk. Or speak much beyond a croak. But I shall none the less take such melodrama with the seriousness it deserves.

My teeth they had to remove the back gumline just to get at the teeth growing in sideways, ooogle. I'm just glad I had the stuff I did, that I couldn't think straight the first day, or walk out of the office under my own power. I would not want to feel after the savaging my mouth took.

4470372 I've always had a fairly high pain tolerance. Even things that hurt quite a lot aren't usually enough to get me to complain.

This is a new level of pain.

If I seem blasé about it, then I'll call that a good thing.

I assure you though, I have no desire to do much of anything right now except sleep until it's all over. Unfortunately, napping is not something I am capable of, even with the Vicodin making me sleepy. Even when I was a little kid, I could never take naps.

Both of those bottom wisdom teeth were full bony impactions, so once they peeled away my gumline, they had to carve through my jawbone to get to them. My mouth is a trainwreck right now, and all I can taste is blood. My surgeon was excellent, but there's only so much that a good surgeon can do to ameliorate the painful results of having bone carved away and teeth extracted.

What I am astounded by is the fact that the Vicodin doesn't really make me feel all that different. I can tell it's in my system, but I don't feel as high as I thought I was going to. I'm calling that a good thing.

4470383 Anchored that kinda deep, sheeepstorm.... I'm wishing you the best on getting better faster then.. Yeouchies..

9 hours ago I had mine out and I've got next to no pain, I lucked out.

4470870 you really did

I'm happy for you

4471627 How's your recovery coming? Just pain or are you in D4 P41N!!

4471972 I'm in Vicodinland. It's a wonderful place full of nearly comatose sleep and mild nausea.

I miss food

4472129 Man, the difference between a simple extraction and a complicated one is pretty extreme. I got prescription strength advil and some simple advice. I've taken it once for pain, right when the stuff they gave me wore off. I'm just uncomfortable now.
