Good Feeling

Sometimes I get a good feeling. I get a feeling that I've never ever ever ever had before. No no. I get a good feeling. Yeah.

No, my pain is not gone yet. The good feeling is the swift relief I feel when I take my pain meds properly. I've only been taking one because I didn't want to run out before the pain was gone, but when I called my dentist to find out if I could take anything on top of it, she said that if I ran out before the pain was gone, she could refill it for me. So now I'm taking the full dosage. Happily, the pain is mostly gone, but it makes me SO tired.

I miss being active. Last week, Nick was home and we were out and about a lot, so I didn't really workout at all. And this week, I'm not allowed to workout. Apparently, if my heart rate gets too high, it will raise my blood pressure, which could blow out the clots in my tooth holes and make me bleed all over the place.

I've been reflecting on this today. I used to live like this normally. Sitting or laying around doing nothing. I feel like crap, but this used to be my average day! The only difference is that I used to snack all day on top of doing nothing. Luckily, I'm not to eat normal food until the pain has subsided completely and I feel comfortable eating.

Don't worry! I've been drinking Slim Fast 3x a day to make sure I'm getting all the nutrients I need and Greek yogurt for breakfast and other healthy soft foods. Anyway, I'm looking forward to working out again, whenever that will be.

May the fourth be with you!
