The mashed box potatoes were actually pretty good
Then I switched over from taking 2 Vicodin every 4 hours to 1 Ibuprofen 800 every 7 hours yesterday and I did good. I'm basically a-okay, I didn't get much swelling at all. But I am nervous to use the water squirting thing tonight to clean the holes out. OKAY GROSS!
Just thinking of it makes me gag.. Sadly got like 5 canker sores from the surgery, so the doctor must have poked me or bumped my mouth or something because I think that hurts more than the teeth right now.
I don't like talking for long periods of time because my cheeks on the inside are swollen. Which doesn't help the fact that I'm in sales and have to talk for a living.
But I've been gargling with water and salt religiously. The heating pad and my Harley boy are my best friends. The heating pad snuggles with my face.. Harley just snuggles with me, while I'm a total TV hog.

I had full IV sedation didn't remember a single thing just remember her putting the IV in and then telling me that she would tell me when I would "go under" and she never did or if she did I was OUT COLD!
Woke up with a crap load of gauze in my mouth and my mommy was there to take me home. I was talking like crazy though she was like "I don't know what your talking about go to sleep, I need to go to Sam's Club" only my mother would run errands after taking me to surgery!
I think she even stopped some where else after that but like it matters I barely remember. I did find the find time while waiting for her to take these precious photos of myself..
Immediately after the surgery waiting for my mom at Sam's Club
Then me resting at home with ice packs on my cheeks sans makeup
But I was able to enjoy Christmas alittle with my little elf
Not being able to eat the food was another story... Sad sad Jenn
11 Lovely Notes:
Ugh I am dreading the day that my wisdom teeth have to come out. They are on watch right now. You handled it like a champion.
Also, white gummie bear jamby? I feel like I am missing out on something amazing.
you are so adorable, your poor gums. I HATE canker sores, I just got rid of one huge mother effer. I LOVE the white gummy bear jamba!! I seriously laughed out loud when I read you got one cause I had no idea a lot of peeps knew about it. Us Sac girls ;)
Glad to see you are recovering well! My recovery kinda sucked :( I was nervous to do the squirting (so my mom did it for me for a few days) but it felt so good to get that horrible taste out of my mouth! Glad the mashed taters were good! I've heard good things about the White Gummy Bear Jamba but I've yet to try it! It's on my bucket list :)
Glad to see you survived! It sounds gross, but I actually liked the squirter thing because it felt better when the holes were cleaned out. When my sister had hers removed, I actually did it for her and it almost made me nauseous to look at it! Happy the Jamba was good for you too... and hope you can eat normally soon!
Haha, you're so cute taking pics of yourself! I'm glad the pain and swelling are starting to go down!
Awww.... poor you!!
Mine didn't hurt like that. I had them out one afternoon after work, took some aleve and was back at work and eating little stuff the next day. It only took me 2 days to go back to eating whatever I wanted. But having to wait for the holes to heel was super weird. Anyway.. feel better soon!
eek. this doesnt sound like fun at all!! sounds like you handled it like a champ though!
I was fully sedated too and a little disappointed i didnt have any crazy after dentist moment too! I wanted to be like david after dentist!
I've been wondering how it all went for you. I'm sorry to hear that you haven't really been able to eat anything yet. Hang in there! It'll keep getting better.
Oh you poor thing. I had mine out in high school and it was such a pain. Hope you're feeling better soon!
I had mine taken out last year and it wasn't too bad. I wasn't knocked out for mine. I work for a dentist so I kind of knew what to expect. I hated having holes in my mouth though!
