Bored Now
I'm getting bored and cranky, which is a good sign that I'm healing up well. The whole wisdom tooth thing is going pretty well despite how insanely long I put it off. It's ironic that I scheduled it in July thinking that would be a bad month for me; now I'm just impatient to get back to my schedule, since this summer has been going so well!
Very very bored of sweet dairy cold soft foods.
I want VEGETABLES and BEEF. If I had energy I'd try to make some sort of soup out of those, but I probably don't. I did make hummus, which means I'm getting some non-dairy non-sweet pap in amongst my other pap.
I want to start walking again, but I'm going to wait until the worst of the swelling is over and I'm able to do more than alternate napping with eating with lying down and trying to read a little.
The surgery has definitely triggered fibro complications; I'm pretty exhausted and my overall fibro pain and functionality are about what they were before I started going on the anti-inflammatory regime. I'm trying to use this to keep me in bed so I heal faster, but it's frustrating. On the other hand, they did such a great job at the surgery that my overall post-operative pain has been surprisingly low, and as far as I can tell there have been no complications. I'm not even needing the vicodin, though I'm taking the ibuprofen religiously as it helps with the swelling. It did take until today for my digestive system to wake back up, though. General anaesthesia is kind of icky.
Looking forward to my follow-up on Monday. I *think* I might be able to start doing things again as soon as tomorrow, but I have to play each day by ear and not push myself. Will try to err on the side of not overdoing it.
