After

The procedure went well yesterday.  I was quite nervous about it.  I wasn’t completely under, I was awake, but I couldn’t feel anything.  I remember a few things but for the most part I was out of it.  It didn’t start hurting until I got home.  I have kept ice packs on, which I’m sure has helped.  But the thing that has hurt the most is swallowing.  It’s so much worse than I expected.  Hopefully I’ll heal up quickly.  I have been trying to drink lots today, water and vitamin waters and juices.  The only things I was able to eat were apple sauce, yogurt, and broth.  I tried to eat some mashed up potato but couldn’t do it.  So far this whole wisdom teeth removal hasn’t been too much fun.  At least it’s no where near as bad as the pilonidal cyst or staph infections and all that came with those.  I know this too will pass, it will just take time.  I just hope this pain while swallowing goes away soon, it’s horrible.  But I can’t complain because I know it could be worse.
