There are times in life when we show the world how strong we are, that despite any situation we can keep going and stay strong. We scorn pity, we say no thanks we're fine, move along.
Then there are those times like when you get your wisdom tooth taken out and all you want is for people to say 'awww how's it feeling, that really sucks'.
Ya it sucks. I can't eat anything, I can't drink anything, there's blood, and I'll spare you the rest.
I may be brave but coddling would be nice. (Thanks mom).
Hope you feel better! Recovery after wisdom teeth extraction is brutal...
ReplyDelete:) Thanks for the sympathy.
ReplyDeleteDay 1: I went to class a few hours after the procedure. Stupid move, I spent most of it in the bathroom spitting out blood, calling the doctor freaking out that the stitches must have come loose, to which he did not sound the least bit alarmed.
Did not sleep much for fear that I would drown in my own blood.
Ate only jello the whole day.
Day 2: Took Vicodin (prescribed) even though I didn't have that much pain. Slept very well thank G-d.
The worst part for me is my jaw aches, I don't know if from the surgeon pulling at it so much or biting down really hard on the gauze. I can only open my mouth half way, can't eat solid foods, slowly eating pureed soup, smoothies, applesauce, pudding, jello.
I'm not in pain it's more discomfort.
