Wizzy teef surgery went fine. Anaesthesia was actually really cool - god bless barbiturates. I was hella conked out and I felt high as a kite for at least 2 or 3 hours after I was woken. Apparently, my surgery was really easy and my sockets are currently sewn up nicely. I've been staying on top of the pain by popping 1-2 vicotins every 4 hours, and although the bleeding in the left corner pocket was a bit much, I just bit down on a tea bag for half an hour and it went away. I have been diligently icing my jaw, too, 10 mins on and then 10 mins off, to prevent swelling. Tomorrow I switch off the vicotins and start on antibiotics and ibruprofen.
I've been eating well, too, which has suprised me; I thought I wouldn't be able to get much good nutrition on a liquid diet, but it fact, today I've consumed a peach smoothie thing from Jamba Juice with a "Protein Boost", some cheddar cheese mashed potatoes, a vanilla yogurt, and scrambled eggs and applesauce. Did you know that a 1/2 cup serving of safeway's generic "grape juice cocktail" has 100% of the vitamin C that They say you should have? Time to go chug on some for a nice healthful treat.
