Saturday in Bed...

Am lying here in bed feeling somewhat dazed by my week of pain. It has really knocked me around to spend 5 days like that- very similar to having my c-sections however without the benefit of hospital care!

I visited my dentist yesterday morning and had my mouth cleaned out with hydrogen peroxide, some antibiotic gel inserted and am now on penicillin. The dentist said I had a "bad reaction to the cutting". It´s still sore and the codeine is only just keeping the pain at bay! I hope I am a lot better by Monday as husband then goes away for 4 days. Also had blood clots dislodging from the upper extraction this morning- nice! But I hopefully am not at risk of dry socket after 5 days.... excess blood clots perhaps!

The good news is I just weighed myself and was 101.1! I am sure I would have lost more weight this week had I not eaten to comfort myself (in a bad way), but I think I am over that now (as I realised it wasn´t working!)

I have faith I will be lighter by end of weekend too as plan to just sip liquids...eating hurts (oh yes, but I did manage to eat through the agony- I am a dedicated eater after all). If I get below 100, I will stay there- it may be the beginning of a "new leaf" for me this week.

As I am so grumpy, I am not visiting your blogs and leaving comments at the moment, however thanks for reading! X
