So two weeks ago to the day I had my two upper wisdom teeth removed. I don’t have any on the bottom-lucky me. So anyways, this was supposed to be an easy in easy out surgery and I had plans to attend a wedding Saturday and try to enjoy some of my Thanksgiving break. Needless to say, I pretty much slept from Tuesday through Sunday taking a break in there to get violently sick from the dumb pain medicine:( it was miserable. I have never been in so much pain. Sunday I had to make the trek back to college which was alright..I was actually feeling a little better–needless to say it was just a tease. Monday I woke up in so much pain I really couldn’t much but lay on my floor and cry…it was no fun. I went to a local dentist who determined it wasn’t dry sockets..yay! but sent me home in the same amount of pain and told me to take amoxicillin for the next week to see if it helps. For two weeks I haven’t been able to smile or laugh or eat normal food..and it stinks! I can’t even open my mouth to talk.. so this morning after putting up with this misery for two weeks I finally called an oral surgeon here and made a appointment after the lady on the phone said what I was experiencing wasn’t “normal”. No duh! The surgeon was a gift from God! He knew the first surgeon who had actually removed my teeth and was super nice. He told me that it sounded like I had an infection-but those only happen to about 1 in 100 people and he has never seen one in the upper teeth-only lower ones! Lucky me..I’m the weird one I guess. He gave me strong antibiotic and some stuff to squirt up in the hole in my mouth:) and said he’d see me on Friday. Hopefully all better by then!
I just want to smile and laugh again…it’s been really frustrating. and it’d be nice to eat normal food..this diet of soft foods was old a week ago!
on a bright note–only half a week of school and finals left!!! and only a month till I get to see my amazing boyfriend! so most of life is looking up..just gotta get my mouth fixed..
