Steve couldn't eat or drink anything for 12 hours before the op as he was going to be konked out completely. He sure looked a mess when I picked him up afterward. He was all weepy-eyed and fell asleep before we could load him into the wheelchair to take him out to the car. His mouth was so stuffed with bloody gauze that I couldn't understand what he was trying to say! Bleah! I made him pancakes for dinner and he loaded up on those as well as some Yops and chocolate soy! Yum! He'll get to eat all kinds of yummy stuff while his mouth heals up.
Steve, make sure you use your water squishy thingy (yes, that is the technical term..haha) to keep the extraction holes clean until they heal up. My doctor forgot to give me mine and as a result I got infection after infection and was in agony, missing work days on and off for 2 weeks.
Thank you Rebecca! Just another Horror story to go along with ALL the others people have been giving me! Not to mention the dreaded Dry Socket! thats when the blood clot covering your nerve disappears and exposes the nerve to air!! I was told time and time again it is worse than child birth! I'm scared let me telll you! Although today i feel pretty goood. All i have been able to eat is pancakes, they squish nice, no need to chew! Tahnks for the advice though! Steve
