...but not today. I have a mouth full of stitches and just can't do it. Now my dentist did not lie to me. There was no pain DURING the one hour slicing into my gums, blood gushing ordeal that I went through this morning, but as I sit here on my couch watching "Failure To Launch" and letting the Darvoset kick in as the numbness wears off, it is starting to hurt. What was the maximum dosage per 6 hour period again???? Eating has been an adventure as well. Let's see... "no straws, no hot food, no spicy food, nothing with seeds or kernels, no crunching, no soda, no alcohol, no smoking, no NOTHING, but please be sure to eat to keep your strength up and stay healthy so you can heal." Are you kidding me? So I blended up some bananas, ice-cream, and milk in our handy dandy Magic Bullet (an "As Seen On TV" wonder!!) and sliced the crap out of a chicken pot pie after I let it get cold. (I even contemplated putting IT in the Magic Bullet) I am now starving!!! The only good thing really that happened today was that I got to relive the week I started dating my husband minute by minute in my head while I tried to ignore what the dentist was doing AND my new "married name" driver's license showed up, and now I feel official. Hell, the picture is even really good. Oh yeah, and I found out that without insurance, my surgery would have cost about $3000. I still think it is bullshit, but $790 doesn't sound so bad anymore.
