Solid food

Solid food is a no go at the moment . I had to cut a sausage roll and slice of pizza very tiny . I just swolled it . I cant chew properly yet . I am thinking about ringing work up tomorrow to tell them I won't be in Tuesday . I need to wash my hair as well and I don't feel up to doing it tomorrow .

I crush a co-codamol and put it in a yoghurt made me feel sick so didn't eat it all . I am not in pain . I think when I can get my mouth open wide enough to get enough drink I will take the tablets whole maybe tomorrow if I'm luckily

Soup, mashed potato, custard ( not all together) have been my go-to foods when I can't much down. Yoghurt, too. At my worst hydroxy is like a three course meal. Nasty taste, nasty, nasty. Take care x

I'm in any pain so I don't need to take the co-codamol i just thought I'll try one to see if I can manage it . I read online that some people get their pain day 3 . Just take each day as it comes

It might be possible, but I'm not sure, to get co-codamol in liquid form if the pain does strike. You might be fortunate with the pain, though. I had a back tooth extracted without pain relief once because the dentist couldn't numb me, even though he tried. I just asked if the extraction would be easy, then asked him to wait for me to count to ten and do it. About 10 unpleasant seconds later it was gone and I didn't need anything later. Only one badly ground down tooth though, and I was desperate to get back to work because we were so busy.

Well I've woke up this morning feeling fine again. . My mouth can open a bit wider . My teeth are next to extractions are not feeling as wired . Hopefully solid food will be ok today . I still am going to take tomorrow off I think . Just an extra day to rest. My sleep has been all over the place . I don't want to risk getting knocked in the mouth so soon by any children .
