I've woke up now . My bottom lip and mouth very numb . The guy said before I went under he never met someone so nervous . Needles not my thing . The surgeon came back and said the teeth came out ok . Still in hospital at the moment

Hello LouLamb and welcome back to the world.

Glad everything went well with the operation and hope you are feeling ok.

I expect you will be a bit sore for a couple of days but rest up,take it easy and look after yourself.

Dont worry about the needles I havent met anyone yet who liked them - me included !

Do you have someone who can come and collect you from hospital when youre ready to go home. ?

Hope you can go home tonight,and that you can sleep well.

Take care Lou,and hopefully you wont be having any more trouble from your teeth.

Home now . They gave me a leaflet . Rinse with salt water day after surgery so tomorrow . Only soft food for 24 hours . They gave me some co-codamol. She said take regular so when numbness goes there be no pain I guess . They she said take if needed after that

So good to hear from you! I expect you're going to be sore for a while. Take care. Lots of rest. X

The numbness has worn off now only took 4 hours 👍🏼. Haven't eaten since half 7 last night but no hungry . I'm not tired either just feel chilled out if that makes sense . No pain at the moment . As soon as I get any I'll get a co-codamol

The salt water washes are important. Yes, just take each day as it comes on soft foods, but I don't need to tell you that really. I'm glad it's done now and you're home. Rest up x

Thanks . I can open my mouth a little bit more this morning . I can't really stick my tounge out and my teeth feel wired . I can see where I've got stitches on the left side of my mouth

Took my over 20 minutes just now to eat my yoghurt and I can feel my jaw tighten . The problem I have with my tmj .

When I can open my mouth bit wider might need to take a pain killer

Do try if you need 🍀

I took a co-codamol at about half 11 today . As when trying to eat my jaw has been playing up . I'm not sure if that's because I have the tmj of because of the tooth think it's a bit of both .

I've rang work up and said I won't be in tomorrow . I have a pre booked driving lesson tomorrow which I'm going to do if I feel better . As it's better to take my mind off the teeth than keep laying in bed .

Hi lou , just you take time and recover you don't want any set backs . I was at dentist today about broken tooth and i need a fair bit of work done to sort it out, I really hate it ☹️. You look after yourself xx🌸🌸

Oh no . Hope your ok ? . I've taken Tuesday off . I'm going back Wednesday . I'm just going to see how far I get . The problem I have is I can't chew food . I can only eat with the middle of my mouth . I can't move food to either left or right side of my mouth because of the extractions .

You need to stick to soft foods for a while to protect the stitches as well. Good excuse for icecream and milkshakes 😀

It's so annoying as I just want to eat properly lol . I had soup today . I had mash beans and cornbeef for dinner it was quite nice . I'm just waiting on a bowl of ice cream to be brought upstairs to me 🙂. I think it will be at least the rest of week on soft food .

I might add . My mum and brother are being very unsympathetic 😂 I suggested we all eat soft foods . Nope not them lol . They been taking the mick as I can't shout and talk loads because it hurts a bit after a lot of talking .

You should get a bell and ring it when you need something- especially in the middle of the night 😀😀
