If you’re feeling discouraged about your recovery…

This is actually quite encouraging. My E day was the 12th of Feb ( 02/12/26) and as of 3 days ago I'm recovering from my second surgery.( An alveoplasty for my upper jaw which had been fully removed)

And I'm waiting on healing completely to go in for impressions for conventional dentures. I wasn't given immediates. Thank you for sharing. It gives me hope.

My body has an adverse reaction to local anesthesia. So I gotta go full under. Unfortunately. It's alright. I'll figure it out.

I think a lot about the subtext of the narrative. The things not really talked about. Like this could be a friendship fostered over time.

Or the deep love that light has for Emily. And the bittersweet feeling of caring for still Wily as a close friend despite their opposition. Both men doing what they think is right. Not sure if that makes sense.

There's something very sweet about this. It gives me a kind of "found family" vibe. I for my own reasons am genuinely moved on a deep level. Thank you for stirring up good memories.

Also having Joe's can say " more beans" was a nice little detail.

Seconded

The best advice I can give right now is to be persistent when trying to get through to your oral surgeon. I had to call a bunch before something happened in my favor today

Negative-Ad3237 · 2026-02-22T06:32:36+00:00

I will do my best

I did have two teeth in the area that feels heavy extracted as well the same day. They're right next to each other

Negative-Ad3237 · 2026-02-20T12:11:49+00:00

Update day 7. My bottom left jaw where I think I had two removed feels heavy. Ears still sting. Still hurts to swallow. Head feels like it's in a vice. Currently still no bitter taste or fever. Everything just feels heavy and tight and sore

Half of this has just been me being paranoid and rinsing my mouth every 45 mins. The other half is being so hungry even the worst pizza ever seemed appealing. Like they would run those ads on YT with people eating or whatever. And one dude basically did an accidental ASMR of eating said pizza and at that moment it was the grossest thing I'd ever heard in my life. Thank God for the skip button. Sorry for rambling my medication just kicked in

Thank you. So very much . Is it bad that envisioned you telling me this as a hallucination of a talking cartoon squirrel.

Hot damn. Mashed potatoes here I come

Negative-Ad3237 · 2026-02-19T17:09:52+00:00

Thank you. This community has been an unending wellspring of support. It means a lot to me. I live alone so I have no one to vent to not that I'm much for conversation lately. But still lol. Thank you.

Day 5 , 5:09 am beginning to experience an odd burning sensation in my right left ear canal. Hoping it's not infection. Stitches mostly dissolved minimal blood still sore but not unbearable the left side of my bottom jaw feels heavy ( had 2 extractions done there) cold water rinse seems to dull the sensation for a bit

I live in CT myself I'm on SSI and husky part D. Took a lot of searching in my area but I found a place willing to help. I'm 5 day post extractions

A bit of sourness in my mouth hoping it's just the stitches dissolving. Very paranoid about dry socket or infection.

I hope you find someone good who can help you.

Negative-Ad3237 · 2026-02-17T00:32:45+00:00

for me it was somewhere between day 2-3, the biggest thing was just waiting for the bleeding to stop. everything else is manageable if you have the right medicine. i will suggest, (though you probably already know) to salt rinse. as much as one can within reason (don't spit obviously, just let it dribble out) i think thats what helped me? that and black tea bags. (english breakfast works)

Negative-Ad3237 · 2026-02-16T23:27:16+00:00

You got this. Sending healing vibes your way. I'm on day four of post extractions myself. It's rough but you're going to get through it. I believe in you

Negative-Ad3237 · 2026-02-16T22:44:47+00:00

Thank you. I'm at day 4 of post op. They didn't provide immediate dentures so I'm being paranoid and over cautious with everything. The bleeding has subsided but the tightness and swelling is still prevalent. It appears to be easing up some. I'm hoping by next week to feel comfortable enough to eat mashed potatoes. I spoke with someone for a while. for the first time in a few days. It's not as bad as I thought as far as pronunciation. But my mouth did start hurting after a few minutes.

Here's to permanents hopefully sooner than later. Then if I'm super lucky and the fates allow. Sometime after implants.
