well I had my tooth pulled yesterday and it kinda sucks lol . actually I had a great dr and they squeezed me in so I'm very thankful. the pulling its-self was totally pain free. the bloody gauze was icky and not being able to drink thru a straw was horrid! I haven't NOT used a straw in probably 15 years. I always use one of those huge insulated cups so my ice stays frozen. I also wasn't really able to eat for most of the day and sleeping was difficult. I was gonna sleep in the recliner but of course (thnk you murphy!) we had company and guess where they're sleeping. lmao so I had to prop up 7 pillows in the corner of my bned against the wall and try to sleep but I kept sliding off and tasting blood when it would start to seep again. feelin good right now the ache has set in but I think I'm past the worst of it. I of course choose not to get a script for pain as I really don't like feelin loopy at all so I'm taking ibuprphen . as far as eating that's been a no-no as well and I'm not supposed to eat hot food for 24 hours so I made hamburger helper lasangna (one of my fave things!) and I'm letting it get cold while I do my morning social media updates.
so for today I ate:
hamburger helper
garlic bread
pulled pork bbq in a wrap
star crunch
that's all and I got no steps to speak of because it hurt to move a little bit.

It is probably too late for this piece of advice, but I'll share anyway. Put a teabag on the gum where the tooth was. This helps stop the bleeding and aids in healing. It tastes awful at first but you get used to it.
