My wisdom tooth has been very forcefully extracted yesterday morning. I thnk the worst part of having it extracted is not the pain from the anesthetic injection, or the fact that you have to spend an hour in a dentists chair with your tooth being yanked from your gums, but the after effects of the extraction (and I am not even talking about the swelling) . The fact that I have stitches on my gum and I can only eat food on one side of my mouth, can only chew with the right side, must be extra cautious not to let food get on the left or let it get stuck near the stitches, must rinse moiuth with disinfectant after every meal. GAHH all this trouble, eating becomes such a chore :(
There's a thin line I thread between staying optimistic and being ignorant or plain oblivious, and none of these seem to 'fix' things for long. I wish things could be perfect, (yeah and don't we all). I wish there was an alternative plan for this that would just, work y'know. And as much as I try to 'make the best of the situation', the past few weeks haven't been as okay as I thought it would be. I keep anticipating the end of the week, the weekends, but I know that if I keep doing that everything else will slip by me and before you know it, I'll be gone.
but for now. just for now. I would really like the days to fast forward to Friday.
