Bye bye wisdom teeth!
May 5, 2008 by ulysiregar
I got four wisdom teeth pulled last Friday. My jaw and gums are still sore. The bottom left is swelling, I feel like I have a big lump in my mouth. At least, the oral surgery went well. They put me to sleep, and I woke up dizzy with my husband holding my hands, and some gauze pad sticking out from my mouth (not really pretty picture there!). And the most important, no complications! I didn’t get dry socket (which could have been really painful). BUT, I don’t take narcotics painkiller because I breastfeed, so prescribed ibuprofen 600mg does all the job every six hours.
What bothers me is I just cannot stop thinking of chewy food, like juicy rib-eye, Indonesian fish cake aka pempek, and all yummy food, while I can only have liquids. Oh, well, I lost 5 lbs already… that I should maintain so I look hot for Indonesia trip? 
Day 3, and it’s still recovering. Hopefully, by the time our flight take off, I don’t have any problem with my teeth. It won’t be nice to have a fussy Alana and sore teeth in looooooong plane riding?
By the way, stay healthy y’all!
Gosh, when you cannot eat well, you realize how much you should be grateful when you’re healthy, and take care of your health really seriously. No kidding!!
