my mouth hurts

[rubah]

I got my wisdom teeth taken out today. Before the doctor started, he showed me the x-ray again, how all four of my teeth were pointing out at at least 45 degree angles, then started telling me about how much cutting he'd have to do.

So then I almost got sick, so they got me on the gas, and I was barely able to be indignant at the injection of anaesthetic.

but now, that's worn off, and I'm stuck drinking smoothies and milkshakes and soup (although I did swallow a small mushroom mom had cooked. So tasty ;_; )

basically I want recipes for smoothies.

Ingredients list:

• fruits
• granny smith apples
• oranges
• green grapes
• strawberries
• blackberries
• grapefruit
  veggies
• avocado
• tomato
• cucumbers
• carrots
  misc
• blueberry, strawberry, cherry yogurt
• honey
• pancake and chocolate syrup
• chocolate, vanilla ice cream
• milk

You don't have these ingredients, but I swear this is delicious!

Cantaloupe smoothie:

20 ice cubes
2 c cubed cantaloupe (about half a melon)
6 oz low-fat plain yogurt
5 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp grated fresh finger

Lemon, Orange, Lime, Ice, Sorbet.

Not a smoothie, but better than any drink on this planet.

I hope you have yogurt.

Strawberries, Blackberries, and honey with some vanilla icecream (since no yogurt) makes for a great smoothie. If you had Raspberries, it'd be better. Oranges actually would compliment the berry nice. The berry smoothie at my gym uses orange juice.

my mouth hurts

I had a comment about how to avoid that, but then I actually read your post.

I'd suggest being very careful with food. I thought I was being really good about keeping my gaping mouth wounds clean, but I ended up with a dry socket anyway. No fun.

I enjoyed ramen swallowed whole instead of chewed. Worked like a charm for having something warm and semi-solid without too much worry of food stuffs getting caught back there.

Don't eat rice! The little grains of rice will fall into the wound and get stuck and you'll get infected and it'll hurt and your jaw will feel like it does now only you'll get better before that so it'll suck even more!

Did you act all loopy? When we were bringing my boyfriend home after getting his wisdom teeth taken out, I helped him take gauze out of his mouth and he started to cry because he thought I had stolen his tongue and tossed it onto the road. It broke my heart

[rubah]

no, I did not confuse gauze for my tongue, although the hydrocodone has led to some interesting waking dreams.

I have stitches; how is there a hole big enough for things to fall into? (I can't open my mouth wide enough to actually see, which is why I ask)
whiningoh maaaaaaaaaaaan. This sucks! I can barely open my mouth, and I'm so tired. But at least my parents and kishi are taking good care of me. aaaaaagh

[Jessweeee♪]

Yeah, I'm not sure but apparently there's usually a hole big enough, stitches or not. I got mine infected and it hurt ;_;

[rubah]

I think I'm being careful enough, but my dad explained why I can't use a straw (losing the blood clot -> dry socket?) so now I'm scared ;_; I've tried to gently swish/gargle water to make sure nothing is getting stuck in there

Butterscotch and chocolate ice cream topping, vanilla ice cream, milk and ice. Best milkshake I've ever had.

[Shlup]

When I got my wisdom teeth out I lived off ice cream, mashed potatoes, and apple sauce. And pills. It was one of the best weeks of my life.

[rubah]

somebody won't let me have a pill more often than once every three hours ;_;

somebody won't let me have a pill more often than once every three hours ;_;

You should really be taking that pill once every 24 hours, on that 24th hour, preferably.
