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.
\nI had to leave gauzes in my mouth to control the bleeding.<\/p>\n
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.
\nI 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.<\/p>\n
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.
\nAlso I can only eat soft foods until I heal up.<\/p>\n
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.
\nI tried to eat a cookie too to see if my teeth could handle it. Not yet. \ud83d\ude41 They will soon though. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Hopefully I’ll get a better night’s sleep tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
