under the weather

Sorry I've fallen behind on blogging... I seem to have caught a nasty head cold. Too much flying around I guess.

False alarm!

I thought I was doing so well, and then I had a "dry socket" scare... or as some of my good friends like to call it, a "dry hole" scare. But, I was wrong. I just didn't stay on top of my pain meds and had a long day returning to work on Tuesday.

I'll have you all know that my "sockets" are doing just fine. And, the doctor said I could eat whatever I want, I just have to be careful and clean out my "sockets" really well.

Four fewer teeth, no less the wiser

Hello everyone! Just a quick update from wisdom teeth recovery land... I'm doing great. My surgery went super smooth, I had no complications, I slept through the whole thing, remember nothing (only some moments where I said funny things because of the drugs) and then I came home.

Dave has been a great caretaker, but I think I made his job pretty easy (if I do say so myself). I took my codeine, ate yogurt, pudding, apple sauce, and even felt well enough to talk on the phone and help with dinner dishes!

I only have minor swelling and minor pain. I think I am even going to switch to ibuprofen today... we'll see how that goes. But, all in all, everything over here is going well!

I'm pleased to be going down in history as one of those people who had a pleasant wisdom teeth extraction experience, because I sure heard my fair share of horrific stories before my procedure.

update

i realize now that i posted a picture of my arm with a hospital bracelet on my wrist and IV in my hand but with no description of what happened to me. there is some debate on if it was my kidney again or just a virus. either way, i was in a lot of pain that day, however i'm doing somewhat better now.
