In fact I´ve taken Mr 5 to kindergarten, shopped for food and still haven´t had a shower. I look awful- red beady eyes, sallow complexion, glasses on instead of contacts and one side of my face is deformed and swollen.
I had to shower sometime this morning though....! and meet a friend later- she has some pain meds for me! Sounds awful, but you can´t get anything in Germany- they don´t believe in it and even after my c-section they would only give me ibuprofen until I complained.
I think I´m going to be doing an awful lot of whining on this blog in the future- it´s not going to be inspirational.
The truth is I´m fat, I hate myself and every day I fail.
Not a good start to the year.

Hang in there! I'm glad to see you're back.
Did you know I'm a dentist?
Be very gentle with your eating right now...just the physical movements can stir up the pain.
Can you buy some Ensure (the nutritional drink)? That will keep you covered for essential vitamins and minerals...I like the chocolate one best. If drinking it cold is bothersome, try it at room temperature.
I know what you're going through, both personally and professionally speaking. I had nasty wisdom tooth extractions (the bottom ones are invariably worse than the top), and major jaw surgery (associated with braces) in 2007. I lived on Ensure only for about 2 months!
Send me a message if you want some further advice...it can be hell, that is for sure!
Thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery!
Hey there,
I feel your pain, I had all four wisdoms out a few years back and ended up with a lot of pain from it, and a decent amount of time before I could eat normally again! Hope you get some better pain meds so you get some relief
Hi Debbie didn´t know you´re a dentist!
The extraction is fine- I am nearly over it. It is the other tooth where the dentist cut away the flesh covering it to expose it that is killing- I wish I had not had it done- it wasn´t causing me any problems- it was just preventative I guess.
Thanks for your support- I am managing to eat ok :)
The root of the tooth in front of the extraction site is probably exposed. That can be very sensitive! Can you get some topical fluoride (gel or rinse)? That can help de-sensitize the exposed roots. Hopefully you don't have dry socket.
If no improvement overr the next couple of days, go back to the dentist to have it evaluated.
Take care
