Gingerman/Waukesha

[Team20]

I have a small issue, Thursday the wisdom teeth come out and Friday I want to head to Gingerman. My normal partner/teamate can't go, the wife is working. SO, I have room for one guy/gal and gear or does someone have room for a similar schedule? I can leave anytime on Friday and plan to hotel it in Benton harbor or south haven. I am running AM GTO and GTU and that's it. Give me a ring if I can help or you can help. I just don't want to go it alone just in case.

Thanks
Jim

Wisdom teeth then racing two days later better think about that again. The pain meds make it unadvisable to ride/drive. Most people have a couple day min of lounging/recovery generally a week before you are off meds completely.

Check with Ed Kwatarski from Track Side Engineering; he was looking for a ride along or ride with up there.  He lives in Wauwatosa.

Actually, that depends on your doc and the procedure. I've had extractions and was working inside of 2 hours.

But then again, you're a woman! ;D
My wife likes to remind me how men don't know what real pain is. :P

Pain medication just makes me sick...

And lying on the floor puking up the pain medication was worse than the pain from the hernia repair.

I heard about a study recently that compared pain among women versus men.  I couldn't remember where I saw it so I googled "man vs women pain" or something similar.
The first thing that came up was a bondage,com forum.  What the heck, I thought, they should know something about the subject.  So I read a few pages.
I hope I can get to sleep tonight.  I'm creeped out.  :o

Extractions? But have you had wisdom teeth extracted, Alexa?

I've had many regular extractions. (Prep for braces. Too many teeth for my mouth)

But the wisdom teeth were a whole different ball game. 2 out at a time,

NO way would I have been racing 2 days later either time. The Vicadin WAS good though!  ;D

I had 4 wisdoms done at once.  I was at a party 2 hours later, letting my jaws gently soak in Southern Comfort.  You'll have some stiches and some swelling.  The helmet may not want to fit your face, and once it's on, you'll just have to swallow the slow trickle of blood that flows for several days.  If you crash and blow the stitches, you'll really freak the paramedics out!  Personally, I wouldn't race unless it was for a championship.  If a championship is on the line, nothing is impossible.

Thanks for all the medical advise, I understand that this may not happen due to pain,swelling,etc... I just want to get there and then make the call, I can always watch if I can't ride. I don't want to be sitting at home on Sunday feeling great and only be wishing I was there. Now, does anyone need a ride? ;D

Thanks
Jim
