I’ve managed to get behind on ranting again.
I had been putting off some long-needed dental surgery, because I was reserving money to make someone an offer. That fell through, so off to the periodontist I went, and had the surgery done.
I regret it, of course.
Let me start out by saying that I had somewhere between 25 and 30 shots before they even got started. I got twelve – TWELVE – shots in the roof of my mouth. I was a wreck before they even started the procedure.
With a wind-up that bad, you know the actual work was horrific. To keep from disgusting everyone, I will just say that it’s been two weeks and the sutures are really really bothering me, plus I am concerned because my supply of Vicodin is getting a bit low.
Furthermore, dammit, I am getting mighty tired of mashed potatoes and squishy overcooked pasta. I want some actual food, something I can – you should pardon the expression – sink my teeth into.


So I’m drugged and cranky. Jesse and the dog are both somewhat pleased about this, because the drugs slow me down and make me confused. So I haven’t found their new hiding place just yet.
I hate the damn dentist.

Oh no! Sorry you are feeling so crappy.
I had a huge jaw surgery the year I graduated high school,(no boyfriends or partying for me!!!)and they put two screws in my face to wire my jaw shut.
I cannot stand jello, pudding, or mac and cheese till this day!!
Just the thought of all those shots makes me want to throw up. Wish I could help you out!
I totally get you.

Wow, I thought 2-3 shots of freezing was bad... :(
Hope your mouth feel better soon - onward to eating crunchy things!
