Today looks like it's going to be crazycakes on several fronts.
Tooth doesn't ache, jaw felt slightly swollen (it probably is, I took some painkiller/calmer, and it feels better), and the gum is still tender from the anaesthetic needle.
I'm expecting some twitching and aching in the cheek, although less than last time.
Hand and foot aren't tingling, but they still feel achey. I think the RH/RF swelling issues are something else, although I guess I'll find out in the next few weeks as the tooth/nerve issues settle.
Work is just...painful. I wish I had something brainless and 'could do it in my sleep' right now, because trying to get my head around object-oriented programming classes with everything else going on is so many shades of awful.
Also, due to the tooth issues, I've lost about 3kg in the last month and my appetite is variable. At the worst of it, I didn't feel like eating at all and only made myself eat something because I knew my body needed it. At best, I had two meals a day. Partly because I didn't feel like cooking, partly because I couldn't face chewing.
I bought breakfast this morning - an omelette - and while I know it tastes delicious, I've had half a coffee this morning and I'm kind of full.
On the plus side, I did have those 3kg to lose, which is better than if I didn't. However "not enjoying food" is, in my mind, a bad way to be losing weight. And not at all fun. I like enjoying my food.
