I'm so demotivated, it's officially been four days of eating nothing but liquids, I'm starving! My mouth is still very sore and my face is incredibly swollen. I'm tired of worrying about dry socket. I've barely been able to brush my teeth mostly because it hurts to open my mouth, so I'm also worried about cavities. It looks like my cheek got cut up during the surgery which might be why I'm in so much pain still on one side.

I just want to eat normal foods again! Desperately in search of ideas for things to eat that aren't ice cream and jello and soup and yogurt (I want ramen so bad), and/or ways to speed healing or just keep my head up. I'm so tired.

It's been 36 hours since I've had all four of my wisdom teeth out under iv sedation. I've been experiencing really severe pain and swelling, and some sharp pains along my jaws. I've been taking the maximum dose of the codeine I was given, but is it normal to have the sharp pains or is that a sign of dry socket? I'm terrified of dry socket.

Also, anything I can do to alleviate swelling and severe pain? It's hard to open my mouth to eat or take medicine.
