my wisdom teeth surgery went well today!
#it took about 8 hours for the numbness to fully wear off but i napped through about half of it after getting home#i don't think there were any complications with the surgery! they said it went smoothly#also i did manage to keep my teeth!! i pestered three different people about it today to make sure i went home with them#even though they were no longer in my face#anyways i made sure to stock up on tons of soft & liquid foods beforehand. had some ensure a minute ago#and now i'm goin to town on an entire bowl of jello :3#i made some lovely soup last night - butternut squash; sweet potato; canned pumpkin; carrots; onion; coconut milk; and bacon#plus garlic and spices and things. some fresh thyme and dried rosemary and stuff#very much looking forward to that for dinner tonight or maybe lunch tomorrow#also the loopiness of post-anaesthesia wore off pretty fast for me. like i was fully coherent in under 2 hours#and the silliest thing i said/did was#when they were walking me out to my mom's car i saw that there was a loquat tree! right there hanging where i could reach it!#with ripe loquats on it! the squirrels and birds clean off our tree before we can get to em usually#so i just. very slowly and a bit clumsily reached up and picked one before getting into the car#and my wonderfully supportive mother - after making sure i was seated & situated - went over and grabbed another one for me too#on another note. thankfully my pain seems to be well controlled so far with just high dose ibuprofen and acetaminophen!#they did prescribe me a narcotic as an option but i have no intention of even considering filling it unless it becomes physically unbearable#and nothing else will help control the pain not even otc stuff or clove oil#knock on wood! here's to a smooth & speedy recovery
