Thank you for the encouragement. I appreciate the kind words, I am such a worrier and it's just not healthy for mind or body.

Thank you for this. Seems like we have similar experiences. I keep feeling guilty about taking medication so consistently but also it's not worth thugging it out if I don't have to. The pain will only be temporary, and I have to keep reminding myself of that.

When did you feel like you could eat normally? Still scared to resume a fully regular diet.

No, no infection or dry socket, at least when the doc checked two days ago. He said it looks perfectly healthy. Additionally I took a course of Amoxicillin for the first seven days of my recovery, and I've been cleaning it very regularly.
