Hump Day!!!
I usually don't like to wish time away, but right now I really wish it was the 29th, so I could get these damn painful teeth OUT!!
I've been doing fairly well, and although I've gone through a tube of maximum strength orajel, the pain has been manageable. The last 2 days have been murder!! Like getting stabbed in the mouth with an ice pick that someone just took out of a fire!! That's every time I try to eat or drink something. 13 more days.....ugh!!!!
I am hoping to get to the Mexican restaurant here before then, and I will definitely suffer through the pain!! I told the hubbster, that I won't be able to enjoy it after my birthday, because I won't have any teeth!!! lol!!I like to go there, because it is a nice atmosphere, and the owners are so friendly! The food is good, and it may be calorie heavy, but well worth the occasional trip!
I am trying to plan ahead, and figure out what I can eat, so to speak, after the extraction. I think it will be whatever I can puree...lol! Almost like having your jaws wired shut! Anyone here remember that?? That used to be one of the diet aides prior to gastric bypass! I had a friend who had broken their jaw, and was in misery until they could eat again! They even tried to figure out how to puree a pizza, without it being downright sickening! I also remember one of my mom's friends did that to lose weight. The bad part of that, is that once the wires come off, its off to the races!!! Mom's friend lost 80 pounds, but gained 25 back just eating like mad after they took the wires off!!
I hope I won't have to deal with that. I have to wait 4 months after the extraction to get my plates. Doc said he wants me healed really well before hand. I guess what will be, will be!
I have been going to the gym 3 days a week and working out in the pool, and I hope I can get past this speed bump...I am blaming the meds right now. I finally am off of them and now am taking a muscle relaxer instead. No bad side effects with these!! No RLS symptoms either, which is great!! I hope I can get myself straightened out though. I ended up sitting in a tub of reallllly hot water at 2am, because of my damn fibro/arthritis pain. Its just one leg and hip. Once I sit in the tub for about half an hr, I can sleep!! I think I just may start doing that every night just before bed. I need to get that pain throttled somehow!! Now off the whiney track and off to do some much needed housework.
I hope everyone is doing well and keep up your great work on the weight loss journey!! Hugs!!!
