Got my wisdom teeth taken out this morning.  I’m actually doing a lot better than I thought I would.  I haven’t slept yet, which is surprising.  I’ve been eating quite a bit (soup, baby food bananas, yogurt, ice pops, etc).  I don’t see any bruising yet, but I really hurts when I run my fingers over my jawbone, so I may see some of that tomorrow.  A little swollen, but applying ice regularly to try to lessen it.  I can talk ok, but I do have Trismus, which the after-care instructions explained as a tightening of the jaw muscles after removal of impacted teeth.  It’s quite annoying and a little painful, can’t open my mouth more than a 1/2 inch or close it all the way.  Soo…back to the bed to watch tv and maybe read a book.  Thanks for everyone’s encouragement, suggestions and prayers.  Hopefully my recovery will be quick 🙂
