I got my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday morning. My friends S and J accompanied me to the oral surgeon and drove me home and made me milkshakes and scrambled eggs afterward. We watched Wall-E and had a pretty chill time. My face has definitely swelled up some--particularly on the lower right side, which is where the tooth that had "roots like a fish hook," to quote the surgeon, was--but it could be a lot worse. I didn't notice this effect on Wednesday or the first part of yesterday, but the Vicodin is definitely making me a little high. Hopefully both the swelling and the pain will start to go away soon.

Today I went outside to water my friend's plants and came back after about two hours. That was enough for one day. Tomorrow I may venture to the grocery store, as I would like to work up to eating French toast and ma po tofu.

Anyway, I don't have the brain for much more than watching Elementary right now, so I am going to go back to that.

As someone who has had it a lot worse: I hope you'll feel better soon. The phase where you're too doped/in pain/tired to do anything much lasted about a month for me, so it left quite the memory. I recommend pudding and mashed potatoes with a bit of spinach/other vegetables. I remember the chewing being weird and complicated even when it didn't hurt, so the less chewing the better.

I can imagine. After a week of pureed food, I just had to try pizza ...

Did the rice get stuck in your formerly-occupied-by-a-tooth-cavities? That happened to me a lot when I got my wisdom teeth out, because 90% of my family's diet is . . . you guessed it, rice.

I hope you feel better soon!

Luckily I like pudding ;) But I understand the impatience to eat PROPER FOOD, I tore my own stitches just last week, lalala. Curling up with a lovely series is just the thing though! Wishing you patience and a good recovery.
