I can’t suck through a straw because doing so could dislodge a clot from the wound and create a dry socket. (incredibly painful I’ve heard.)
I can’t spit for the same reason. This makes brushing my teeth incredibly annoying and they never feel really clean.
My jaw is still really stiff and sore so I can’t open my mouth very wide. Eating a sandwich or banana is next to impossible.
My life is one big that’s what she said joke.

Do everything you can to avoid Dry Sockets – they do suck! 🙁
How are you feeling otherwise? Any bruising?
Hope you feel better soon, also hope they gave you more drugs!

I’m feeling much better. Still haven’t noticed any bruising so maybe I got lucky with that. ::crosses fingers:: I didn’t end up getting more drugs because ibuprofen seems to take care of it and I hate how the stronger stuff makes me feel. I am ready to start eating food like a normal person though, lol.
