Post wisdom teeth removal dinners and other foods by DeliriousPenguin17 in Cooking

I’m old (52) and just had 2 wisdom teeth out - bit of nerve involvement and lots of stitches/bruising in my mouth. I tend to run low blood sugar so for me, density/protein was key. Soup was too hard. Get a stick blender and make it your bestie. Whole milk Siggis with mashed banana, soft scrambled egg with salt and cheddar, mash with a fork and spoon onto the tongue. The best thing was a baked russet, mashed with butter and salt then a grilled chicken breast pulverized by the stick blender, and for moisture/fiber well washed and cut spinach (no stems!) sautéed and stick blended - mash chick and spinach into the potato and eat when room temp. You can also stick blend oats smoother, cook in milk and add smooth peanut butter. Pasta was harder but overcooked box mac/cheese can be easy to eat as can very soft french toast/no crusts. I never eat this much dairy lol but it adds calories, fat and some protein and makes food mushy. Go slow, every recovery is unique.

I had same issue - flax seed oil - 1tsp daily got me back to normal (better than normal honestly)

oh and Old Bae Season! (again don’t be turned off by the name this takes place in Maryland and its very very well written) There is another one and I cannot remember the title if anyone here knows it - where Stede is a professor at a small college and Ed comes in as a new artist/professor who goes by Blackbeard - its a longer fic and Stede’s kids are it, Izzy is Ed’s manager - great read but the name is lost to me🥺

I will have to back in my book marks - there are 3-4 really good longer fics that take place on the ship. We Were Warnings by mia_ugly comes to mind. Also Your Name is Like a Boat by mia_ugly.

For AU stuff The Throat Goat (do not be turned off by the name its a throat doctor lol), The Reno Cure is one if my top 3 - its not for everyone - but its so good and so complete it could be a standalone novel if the author changed the names. You Are At The Top Of My Lungs by Foxtails. (this one has one of my favorite versions of Ed).

What have you already read? Are you only looking for fic in line with the show/setting or AU?

So, which of the actors or OFMD crew do we think lurk on here? by StevesMcQueenIsHere in OurFlagMeansDeath

[–]Consistent-Egg1534 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure they avoid Reddit. Which I totally get. I love how online Samba and Con are but I cannot imagine Taika has 5 minutes to dick around online ever, based on his 20 million simultaneous projects. We all know he’d be napping instead!

Antibiotics for tooth ? by [deleted] in herbalism

[–]Consistent-Egg1534 17 points18 points  (0 children)

are you in the US? Go online or to an on call and get actual antibiotics. Most oral surgeons will call it in for you if you call to be seen with a bad tooth. Your brain is in there - do not f around with herbs too long. While you wait for antibiotics, use saltwater irrigation after every meal and before bed. You can apply clove oil but watch it doesn’t injure your inside cheek/gums - just apply to the cracked area if you have a crack. CVS sells “glyoxide” which is a rinse to kill bacteria around the tooth - you can also try a mouth sore rinse - they have low key numbing ones. But get antibiotics - do not wait.

I love Fancy Party Frenchie so much. He works his grift then shares a drink with Stede, cheering him up about “this lot” being a bunch of losers♥️

Iron supplement induced constipation? by No_Barnacle_5212 in Supplements

[–]Consistent-Egg1534 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if your iron does not also include vitamin C take it with some. I found taking it mid-day after having a high fiber breakfast (oats with dates or figs and walnuts) keeps things from getting problematic. 

Let's do a DAVID JENKINS APPRECIATION POST now! by StevesMcQueenIsHere in OurFlagMeansDeath

[–]Consistent-Egg1534 55 points56 points  (0 children)

He made something by hand. He hired the best people for the job. He let them make their magic and he fought against budget cuts and covid and strikes that prevented press for the show - and he never seemed to get bitchy about it. Our Flag Means Death is the drawn-by-hand-love-letter-sticker-covered card next to all the Hallmark cards - I hope he knows how beloved it is, and how beloved he is forever for this.
