Recovering
Friday, Apr. 27, 2007 | 17 Comments
I’m back. I’m feeling better every day now. Going back to work Monday was a huge mistake. I felt like shit, left early, took Tuesday off, then went back wed - fri. I’m now progressing in my recovery at a normal pace instead of just staying the same like before. Still taking ibuprofen daily, but less every day. Still hurts, but less every day.

The only interesting thing I did was decide on structural options for the house. We had a 3 hour meeting with the builders and decided on a few upgrades. Next step is deciding on the finishing options (carpet, tile, cabinets, molding, lighting, etc.) I’m really happy with the options we got including recessed kitchen lighting, balcony, sconce lighting in the master bathroom, extra cable & flat screen TV outlets, programmable thermostat & so on~~
I can’t help but get really excited about the place!! I know it won’t be ready till autumn.. but construction has already started and we’re making selections and, and… 
*girly screech!* Tomorrow we’re going to IKEA to buy some things that are no longer in production. Well, hoping to at least! There’s a chandelier that I want for the den & Mike wants this certain bookcase. Both are no longer being produced so we should buy it now even if we can’t install them till fall.

Hooray! I’m missing jaw bone… :[

So it’s 4 days later. There were no real complications with the surgery itself. However, 1 wisdom tooth was more impacted than the x-ray had shown. They ended up having to removing a lot of jaw bone. The only real side-effect of that is the extremely excruciating pain it has put me in…
Also, Vicodin sucks! Big balls!! I threw it up immediately. Which was “fun“… throwing up blood… yea, that was a fun new experience. Especially in the car ride home. And then twice more after I got home. Thankfully my doctor called to check up on me and said I could try 800mg of Motrin instead and only take the Vicodin if I’m in unbearable pain. Well, no matter the pain I never took it again. The Motrin works OK. Not great… I was/am in constant pain. But it’s getting better each day.
I still can’t close my mouth all the way (I’m unable to chew anything still!) My mouth is still swollen. Basically because of the whole bone thing I’m having to take longer to recover.
I am going to try to go to work tomorrow.
WAIIIIIIIIIIIIII my freakin’ mouth is killing me and I can’t stand it!!! It hurts to laugh, it hurts to eat, it hurts to talk, it hurts to sleep! GRRRRRRR HOW MANY MORE DAYS TILL I FEEL BETTER!? 7!? 10!? Two weeks!?
