Mommy on MC

Had one of my wisdom teeth removed on Sunday...pretty complicated surgery. I've known this one was impacted since a few years ago, but the dentist advised me to wait for it to decay and become softer as there is no gap between the wisdom tooth and molar for extraction, also, I'm allergic to too many kinds of medication to risk surgery.

This time, we already know exactly what I would be allergic to and what alternative medication I can be given. The tooth had to be sectioned, then extracted in two parts. Didn't hurt during the process; the pain only came after the anesthetic went off. The horrible thing was all the blood flowed back into my throat and I had to throw it out with the fish porridge that Andrew lovingly cooked for me. Eeeew...imagine the bloody-fishy smell!

Anyway, now that Mommy's down, Daddy's been looking after Faith since Sunday when I went to the dentist. He's been fetching Faith to and from the infant care yesterday and today. Thank God for this loving and humble man I married. He bothers to try, even though he might not know what to do with Faith when she's cranky sometimes. The good news is, because of that, he's closer to Faith now and able to handle her better. I'm proud of him. :)

Hopefully I can eat a bit more today and feel better, then I can fetch Faith from infant care in the evening. Haven't been able to eat much for the last two days, except Milo and plain rice with soup. It's not the wound that hurts. The entrance to my throat hurts more when I swallow; soreness along the sides of my tongue and the whole stretch of gum on the right side of my mouth.
