I do not recommend getting a mucocele in your lip. It's this little water-balloon-ey bump and you have to get them removed or they take up permanent residence in your mouth and grow and shrink as they please. They are simply damaged spit glands (you can get if you are a chronic lip-chewer such as I) but dammit they are ANNOYING.
As you might have guessed. I got one. And I had to have it removed. And it was only about a 10 minute process after the Novocain set in (and WHY do those syringes have to come in that ghastly torture chamber device metal thing even if they don't have to reach way back in your mouth), but it was still awful and made my hands sweat so hard my jeans were damp when I left and I felt a little fainty but I lied to the dentist and told him that I was FINE, FPHFINE, prease keepsh gong, because if it had taken 2 more minutes I might have screamed and ran, spit-sucker and all?
Oh, and now the joy of stitches (which I always forget to type the second "t" in when typing, but not writing) and dissolve-ment, and not being able to eat solid foods--what I wouldn't give for a New York Strip and Milk Duds, anything chewy and filling, please GOD.
Also, lastly, that feeling where I can tell where the remaining stitches are holding my cut together? YOU OOOK ME OUT.
PS: Vicodin? You made me feel like I was floating. And like I should sleep for 48 hours.

Oy vey.
Heal soon!
For goodness sakes! That is annoying to say the least.
Too bad it is seasonably unfavorable for you to live off Jamba Juice. That sounds pretty good to me.
Hope you get better soon!
This sounds very not fun. Hope your lip is ship-shape really soon!
When I read your title I immediately thought of a slew of Billy Maddison quotes "THANK YOU MISS LIPPY!" haha.
On another note...I hope your mouth starts feeling better sooner than later! :) Sending you hugs!!
oy - that sounds painful. And that awful syringe? I feel your pain. I just got a temporary crown and just the site of that syringe makes me queasy.
i am wigging out just reading this.
hope your lip goes back to normal soon!
I get the same sweaty, want-to-jump-out-of-the-chair-and-run-away-screaming feeling when shots are involved. Ugh. I'm all queasy for you. I hope you heal up soon and Vicodin is a good friend to you.
