saphyria: (The world is quiet here so we have tea)
[personal profile] saphyria
Had my wisdom teeth cut out this morning. Feel like the cruddiest crud that ever crudded. Hurts to talk, hurts to swallow, hurts to move, hurts to laugh, hurts to be.

Augh. And I've still got another two hours until I can take another pain med.

The only upside to this has been that I've been catching up on my sleep and that the doctor said that, if I didn't like gauze, I could bite down on used teabags, if I liked tea. I couldn't even explain to him coherently why I was giggling at that.

For some reason, room-temp iced tea (meaning, sans ice) hurts less to drink than water does. Jello right now is just problematic, as the right side of my tongue is still numb and I can't control it very well.

Rar.

Distract me?

The tea hurts less to drink because the tannins in it are helping the torn tissues in your mouth close up again.

*sends hugs and good wishes and cool used teabags*
