The surgery went well. Even though the night before I slept probably 2 hours.
I started freaking out about the IV they were gonna give me, but they gave me laughing gas before and numbed my hand so I didn't even feel it. I was dead asleep the whole time and someone had to wake me up when it was over. It only lasted like 30 minutes so I was in and out pretty quickly. I didn't realize gauze and a numb mouth was gonna be involved so that was annoying. Then I came home, took meds, (tried to) eat soup, watched Netflix, and tried to sleep.
It was't so bad because my mom got me my favorite ice cream and a hello kitty coloring book. And my boyfriend was there to provide moral support which I totally appreciated. But it kinda sucked because everyone else ate pizza and I was stuck with soup and ice cream.

But I'm still in a LOT of pain and I've had to take the pain pills they prescribed to me. Honestly, it feels like my gums are giving birth to John Goodman right now, but I'll survive. Oh and did I mention Mother Nature thought it would be a god idea to start a monthly visitor today, too. Yeah. That's also fun. Not only are my gums in pain, but I'm cramping really badly. Thank God for Lortab, tho lol

Well, this is starting to become a ramble so I'll just end with thanking everyone again for the kind wishes and I'll try and post in between naps.

Glad you're coming along but sorry that there are some bumps. Try not to get too down in the dumps about the diet right now - just remember - there are lots of delicious things that are soft. Also a lot of fun things you can do to pass the time & the support of loved ones WILL make this go more effortlessly. Before you know it, you'll be your old self and your diet will progress back to normal stuff. Keep us posted!
