Is there no end????

It’s been a week since I had the surgery.  I thought by now I’d be pain free and loving life again.  But nooooo, not me!

I called the surgeon’s office and explained what was going on.  What I had initially thought was dry socket seems to be something else, as the pain is not brought on by food or drink.  They recommended avoiding solid foods and that I go back for a check up sooner rather than later.  Today I reached my breaking point and called to schedule an appointment.  I was all set to see the surgeon this afternoon but some work drama put an end to that plan.  So they reluctantly agreed to see me tomorrow morning.

In the meantime I was told to double up on my dosage of pain meds and use hot compresses.  So I gladly followed their recommendation and to say I’m extra loopy right now is the understatement of the year!   But I’m feeling no pain and for that we’re all thankful!  Well I’m thankful, and happy; and a happy Limerick Gal makes for a peaceful life for those around me!  Win win!!
