Dental Surgery

 After going back and forth with blood tests to make sure my immunity level is high enough, I finally had my dental surgery yesterday. I had 2 lower teeth pulled (towards the front) and the dentist also removed a lot of infection in my jaw. It took 2 hours and was NOT fun.


So today I look like a bloody hillbilly, and I mean bloody in the literal sense. I'm on Tylenol with codeine and I take it every 4 hours. It was a pretty rough night last night, but I'm feeling a bit better today. It's mostly hard to eat. The softest thing I had in the house is cheesecake and it took me all morning to eat it.

I have a pot of homemade chicken soup on the stove. I can't eat hot things so I have to let it sit out on the counter a bit. 

Hope to be much improved as far as eating  by tomorrow--it's Thanksgiving! (But I guess I can live on mashed potatoes.)
