Hi there!
Happy Wednesday :)
It has been 5 whole days since I had all of my wisdom teeth removed!
I can't say that I miss them but it is certainly strange not having them in my mouth anymore. When speaking to people, I have to concentrate on my saliva distribution because at any moment I can have a very unattractive spit issue (spissue?). In good news, it gives me something to talk about with people that I normally struggle to maintain conversation with. A blessing in disguise?
I'm still not able to eat normally and it's driving me bonkers. In addition to copious amounts of oatmeal, mashed potatoes, ice cream and pain killers I have been surviving on the below:
 |
| Microwaved avocado with cheese, Annie's Mac and Cheese with Ketchup & Garlic Salt (obvi) and Blockbuster DVDs from my local Duane Reade kiosk |
Work has been interesting! Example from today, a friend asked me if I want one of her spicy almonds (which I always do, naturally) and I had to say no. A whole new Caitlin haha. Yesterday I tried eating a banana with a spoon at my desk and almost cried it hurt so bad. Such a wimp!
I'm feeling like an old lady this week. I'm not supposed to work out until Friday so my evenings have been consisting of Netflix, Hulu, DVDs, playing with Eloise (aka, being a crazy cat lady), taking pain meds prescribed by the oral surgeon and basically eating an all carb diet because I can't chew real food yet. Not f-ing cool.
As a side note, do any of you watch The Bachelorette? This season has been incredibly fantastical :)
Any self admitted trashy TV lovers out there?
I need a pick me up that doesn't involve food, shopping or exercise - suggestions please???
Um, I love that your cat's name is Eloise. WIN.
ReplyDeleteI would say wine, but mixing with meds is bad so uhhh, a pedicure?
Ouch! I need to get my wisdom teeth taken out, but I have been avoiding it like the plague.
ReplyDeleteYes! I love The Bachelor/ette. It's such crappy TV--I love it! :-) Hmm, do you have any good books or magazines to read? What about some sort of DIY project? Hope your teeth are better soon!
P.S. I have a question for you--could you email me? jimmychoosonthetreadmill@gmail.com Thanks!
I do sympathise with you, my most painful experience (apart from childbirth) was having 4 wisdom teeth extracted! I hope the pain has lessened now and that you are back to more normal eating.
