So as you all know I got my wisdom tooth removed on Tuesday Feb, 1st. I shared my entire experience with you all but post op has been a nightmare. First of all I have experienced a lot of swelling and pain, I am on 3 different pain killers that stop the pain for a few short hours and then its back again. I honestly thought that by tomorrow (Monday) I would be back at another Morning Coffee With Jane. Unfortunately, the Dentist believes that my body isn’t reacting properly to the bone graft causing a ton of inflammation/swelling and the difficultly of the procedure itself is causing the pain. I have a really horrible taste in my mouth, and I have been on an all liquid diet since Thursday. The antibiotics are killing my stomach, and..well you all know how that goes. I truly thought this was going to be an easy process as my last wisdom tooth extraction wasn't this complicated and honestly in three days I was 100%. However, instances like these make me entirely too grateful to work for myself, I have a full control over my own schedule! So, I don't feel guilty because I missed work, or begging my boss for an extra few days off.
I’m kind of miserable but the same time grateful, and I have been reading/watching all your posts and they have been making me happy! Thanks for cheering me up steemit! My favorite videos so far have been and

SO Here Are My Tips For Dealing With Wisdom Tooth Removal Post-Op:
- Have your meds called into the pharmacy before your procedure, I made the mistake of having it called in AFTER and therefore the anesthesia wore off and I was in pure hell for half an hour.
- If its a tough extraction, make sure you have some good medications prescribed including an antibiotic so it doesn’t get infected.
- Use A LOT of ice on the area for the first 1-2 hours after getting the tooth removed, this will help with the swelling later on.
- Lay down, get comfy, watch Netflix! I highly you suggest a show with more than one season that you haven’t watched yet.
- If you’re a steemian, make sure you have some written articles beforehand. (Unlike me)
- Have some soup and ice cream readily available!
I will be back at it with Morning Coffee With Jane, Workout Of The Day and so much more so soon!
Missing you all,
Jane
