I have now reached three days since I was viciously attacked by my dentist with a variety of dental instruments. My face is still swollen, not soft swollen, rather it feels like a big ball of hardness has taken up home in my jaw. I have one really manly jawline.
The extraction site and what remains of my tooth is sore, but can be handled with painkillers so I think I'm safe from the horrid extraction complication of dry socket, although still sort of terrified to eat proper foods. This weekend I've existed on instant mash potato and fish fingers, with rice pudding for breakfast. Today I had sushi for lunch, which took me 30 mins to eat as I was breaking it up into smaller chunks as I went.
I'm going to try some pasta for tea this evening, lets see how that goes. I'm sure that the tooth left inside my jaw is now pushing out of the side of my gum...sexy hey?! I think thats where the throbbing is coming from, but it is normal for the body to expel bits of bone and tooth after extraction so I'll see how that goes.
I'm on antibiotics, beta blockers, paracetamol and ibuprofen to get through the day currently. A combination which makes me very foggy and extremely sleepy. Not good when I still have a million exam papers to mark before Friday.
I can't wait to get home tonight and just rest in front of the TV.
I might treat myself to some chocolate, get the blood sugar up.
Yikes, they left the stubborn part of the tooth in your mouth? Well, I suppose they had no choice. I'm sorry that sounds terribly painful. Surely you can have some pasta? Living on mash must be tiresome.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah it's still in there. Definitely trying to work its way out though.
ReplyDeletePasta went well, rocky road ice cream even better!
Hopefully it comes out enough that they can pull it out. Hate for it to abscess. Yucky.
ReplyDeleteIce cream! Excellent idea! Hope you're having yummy baby food hehe. Oatmeal?
