On Wednesday I got my last two wisdom teeth removed. This is about… fifteen years after I had the first two removed? Those ones I absolutely didn’t have a choice, they were causing constant pain and suffering.

These two were a bit preemptive. The dentist said they will cause pain and suffering if I continue to ignore them (as I had for years and years), and it was getting to the point that they might also skyrocket in price.

So out they came. And now for the last three days I have eaten nothing besides applesauce, yogurt, and pudding. Whee.

Tomorrow I’m allowed to resume eating soft foods (mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs) which is a dang shame because we’re going to visit friends who are extremely talented cooks and I won’t be able to enjoy most of it. But such is life, sometimes.

The real downside has been the pain has kept me from writing. I really want to finish this story I’m working on… I think I may, in fact, finish it today if my jaw responds well to pain meds. We will see!

Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
