My mouth is recovering after a day of pain. Went up yesterday and had a total of four teeth extracted. So much pain I felt as they were trying to yank them out.
I had to leave gauzes in my mouth to control the bleeding.
Had a rough night trying to get any sleep. But I managed. Only to wake up earlier than normal. But at least the pain isn’t anywhere as bad as it was. And I believe the bleeding finally stopped. So both are good signs that my gums are healing.
I still feel pain here and there, especially when I move my mouth. But I believe sometime by next week, my gums should be healed and the pain will subside, allowing me to eat normal food again.
I still can’t use a straw when drinking, and I got to be careful when I swallow. Any form of sucking would cause the healing to stop, and I can’t have that.
Also I can only eat soft foods until I heal up.
I did my best to eat an oatmeal creme pie today. Had to slowly nibble at it, using my left front teeth. If I chew too hard I’ll get pain. And I got to keep food out of where my teeth were.
I tried to eat a cookie too to see if my teeth could handle it. Not yet. 🙁 They will soon though. 🙂
Hopefully I’ll get a better night’s sleep tonight.
