Self portrait tuesday - having a gaping, fleshy swollen hole in my head has never felt so good
Until my mouth heals I can't eat anything I have to chew. So for breakfast, the leftovers of the soup that Peter made for me last night: tomatoes, vegetables and beans run through the blender. And an Astro yogurt that Peter brought me from home; a rare treat these days.
For lunch: a soy milk and banana shake, and applesauce. And for supper, more leftover soup. Do you think this liquid diet will cause me to use up a bit of the fat stores in my love handles, or is that just wishful thinking?
Peter left this morning and is probably already out of Georgia by now. The excruciating pain in (and subsequent removal of) my tooth put a bit of a damper on our weekend together, but it's okay. Because I will by flying home to see him in TWELVE DAYS!

It's wishful thinking. You actually put on fat becuase your body thinkins it's starving because of the lack of chewing, or that's what I felt like. It could be worse, you could be on the clear liquid diet, yuck!
Get well soon!

Ow. I'm so glad Peter's there to take good care of you. He gets bonus points for being there at the correct time.

Thank God you are wearing clothing in that reflection. Scariest thing I ever saw was a picture of a teapot; the man taking it was butt naked, and the reflection proved the truth of it.
Scary. So very scary.

Incidentally, dearest friend, although it may taste like the dickens, clove oil will help with the ache in the hole. ::healing vibes your way::

Merouda is right about the clove oil.
That soup looks SO YUMMY.

Wish I'd known about the clove oil when it was my turn. Beware the dry sockets, and happy healing!

Oh, poor thing, those wisdom teeth can be so painful, but how lucky you are to have Peter be so thoughtful while he was home. Hope you feel better soon.

Poor Jodi, I hope you feel better. I can sympathize, I just had a crown put in and boy did it hurt. Wow 12 days yay for you. :)

It's better they took it out now then wait until it's infected and messed up even more. In a few days you'll be fine again. The stupid hole will take a while to close up, though.

Oddly enough, Thorvald just had two root canals, and I broke one of my far back teeth a couple of weeks ago. First one I broke (chipped actually). Just got it refilled and I was back in business.
