Ow. ow. ow. ow.

Yeah.
Mouth full of hurt right now. But I don't think I'll have to fill the vicodin prescription, the Arthritis formula tylenol seems to be helping just fine. I will be staying home from work tomorrow. Not easy to be cheerful and helpful when you can't talk and it hurts.
I won't be eating much solid food for a while it looks like.  I have half my molars left on the right side and a more left on the left. I fixed mac and cheese and thought I could gum it and use my front teeth.
Nope.
::sigh::
But, with this out of the way... that clears the schedule for the major surgery.
I am NOT looking forward to that recuperation period!
The teeth will be replaced down the road, at least two have the possibility of implants and the others are post and cap. Depending on what happens after surgery.
I hate being a mess like this. Most of you know how active I am, not wanting to ask for help, being able to do it on my own. Proud of being able to do it, show the younger kids that getting old doesn't mean being unable to do simple stuff.

OW.  That's all I have to say. I'm hungry enough to eat a big hamburger and am looking at mac and cheese and wincing.
Katie and I went grocery shopping and the first area we walked through was the vegetable market. Everything I looked at made me wince. Cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes for gosh sake!  And don't even go there seeing the croutons.
I am reduced to a whiny faced baby right now because I'm hungry, I'm in pain and I can't eat anything other than liquid.
Yes, we do have tomato soup, and milk, and I bought Ritz crackers. That wonderful combination from my childhood. Making sure to soak the crackers really well to a soft mash absorbed with the soup.
I also have mashed potatoes from a box with cheese flavoring. That I might go reheat now and then... rinse my mouth out and go to bed. (Oh, it's also annoying because my favorite position reading stuff on my computer is putting my chin on my hand... uh uh uhhh.
I'll be feeling better by Wednesday enough to go to work.
Oh, and whenever I get on here and whine like this, or explain what is going on, I'm really just talking to myself. It's what I do. I have to write it down like I'm complaining to someone so I don't keep it bottled up inside. That's bad, and it's never been my style. I want everyone to know what's going on with me so that it doesn't 'threaten the life it belongs to' to quote a song.
I've been a sharing type person, good, bad, whatever... maybe it's a form of attention getting, but whatever the reason.... I'm just putting it out there for the world to look at and know what is happening with me.

I want to go to sleep listening to some selected tracks from Avatar right now. It would totally help me relax a bit more.  I won't likely have a problem with that, but I sleep on my side and having both sides of my mouth hurt doesn't make it easy.
Okay enough whining, time to go find those potatoes and get some sleep.
