Post-Op Concerns
Hey all.
Just had my top two wisdom teeth removed last Friday around 10am. Since then, I've had no tooth pain or soreness, a little jaw soreness though. I think that might be because i keep my mouth closed as much as possible to not stretch the inside.
Bled for a few hours post-op, but was done before I even went to bed. Been doing jello, applesauce, yogurt, and protein shakes for the last 4 days.
I'm a little paranoid about getting food stuck in the holes, and I can't see them either. I'd like to try eating some more hot and/or solid foods soon, but i'm worried i won't be able to irrigate properly since i can't see the holes. It also makes it difficult to tell how the healing process is going and makes me more unsure as to when even soft hot food will be an option.
My body feels like i'm not getting enough nourishment from what i'm eating right now. I'm not a huge eater normally, but what i'm eating normally is more nutrient rich overall. I feel a little unstable on my legs and dizzy as my next meal approaches because of how undernourished i am from my last one.
Any advice on this stuff would be appreciated. I am clinically diagnosed w/anxiety, so i know that some of my worrying is due to that, but regardless i still feel unsure of how to proceed.
