Wisdom teeth, all three at the same time, dry sockets, violent reaction to the pain meds, dismissive and unconcerned oral surgeon....I'm grateful I never have to do that again.

I went out with my boyfriend the same night and..well, found some fun ways to kill the pain.
it's a wonder i survived into my dotage!

It's a whole new kind of gratitude to feel better. I keep joking that I feel like I just woke up from a two week coma. Imagine how it felt to eat my own cooking again after nothing but canned soup and yogurt for fourteen days...I was having one of those splendid Kindred moments after one bite of homemade guacamole...(why don't we have a drool emoticon?) I kept moaning out loud; Billy heard me in the next room and asked if I was okay! Am I okay? I'm more than okay, I'm Kindred! (He didn't get it!)

It feels good to smile again, to be able to laugh without clenched jaws, to leave the house without a pill bottle, to be able to blink without tiny earthquakes traveling from earlobes to chin, to take a deep, cleansing sigh and not see lightning bolts behind my eyes.

Back to normal never felt so good.
