I'm really sick of this funk I'm in. I'll just have to throw myself into college work and stuff as much as !I can and hopefully that'll draw me out of it a bit. It's just so frustrating; I don't have the motivation to do anything, even getting up seems so difficult and pointless.
Tomorrow is going to be a hellish day, too. At least I'm meeting up with my bestie to have lunch, I hardly ever see her these days because of conflicting schedules

Are you going under general anaesthetic?
Far as I know they check your fingernails to see if you've got enough oxygen, with polish on they can't see that

I wondered too, but its to do with being under anesthetic, and checking that you are not going into shock. I had my toenails painted having Oreo and the midwives who were prepping me for an emergency C-section were like "oh we better take off that nail polish" and then seconds later airely said "ah no, sure we'll leave on the lovely polish"
It was only afterwards that I realised that they must have been worried about the baby's heart rate if they felt they didnt have 5 mins to take off the polish. :eek: I am so glad I didnt cop at the time or I would have panicked (which was probably why they were deliberately casual about it)KamiKazeKitten wrote: »Are you going under general anaesthetic?

Re: Anaestetics and nail polish: Wow. Never knew that. The more you know!
My trip top the dentist today was actually a trip to the hygenist. Spent an hour in the chair with a local anaestetic numbing half my face whilst she did a scale and polish. Bled like a stuck pig afterwards due to me being a regular Bleeding Gums Murphy but my teeth are super clean right now so I can't complain.
Only niggle is that the hyginest looked at my wisdom teeth and declared that they're only stained rather than decayed. also, they're finished with my treatment in the HSE building with all the nice, kindly dental people and now if I need help with my teeth I have to go back to my old, crappy, condescending jackass of a dentist. Boo-urns.
Does anyone know how much it costs to go private to get your wisdom teeth out? The nagging pain at night is driving me INSANE!0 -

They use a device called a pulse oximeter to track your blood oxygen levels. The device goes on the end of your finger and can track your oxygen percentages by passing light through your fingertip and doing calculations. The nail polish blocks the light and makes the sensor useless.

Is there a proper way of doing it? Do tell!
Hard to explain it probably but I just open their mouth by gently squeezing the sides and putting the tablet in their throat. Close mouth. Hold mouth. Rub neck. Works 98% of the time. Sometimes you'd have to do it again but you'll very rarely struggle to get the tablet down.
