The Extraction of My Wisdom – Day 4 & 5
by barffie
Well, nothing is new except my jaws and gums are still sore and stiff. Not pain. Just slightly swollen and stuff.
I’ve never felt so awful about eating… every bite and attempt to chew ended up with me wincing. Sometimes I’ll stop eating, even when I didn’t feel full, just because I got so tired of nibbling at everything and having to “chew” with my front teeth.
I went to my department’s Christmas Party on Friday night and I couldn’t eat properly and drink any alcohol at all. My colleagues were very nice and understanding about it, but looking at the free flow booze at the open bar last night, I felt really shitty. Really, bloody shitty.
And Saturday was filled with activities right from 6:30am. We had to get to a friend’s place to video their ROM ceremony and preparations way beforehand. It was a long day…
AND DID I MENTION THAT I DREAD EATING NOW!?!?!? Eating is a chore and I am frankly quite unhappy and feeling really impatient for my gums to fully heal over.
ARGH!!! When can I get well!?
P/S My husband was really nice, he was willing to drive all over the place to get me yummy food so I would feel a little less miserable. And while I was knocked out during the afternoon nap, he did all the housework by himself… and only waking me up after everything was done. Thank you, Jeffwee…
P/S/S?S?S?S?S Merry Christmas, everyone!
