Glass Jaw

I thank you all so much for your well wishes and empathy.
I think wisdom teeth extraction is alot like mining only with smaller tools and I was probably nuts to do it without being put to sleep. After working in surgery for seven years, anesthesia is much more frightening than the procedure. So as I recover, I certainly have developed a new appreciation for solid food. I never thought eating chocolate pudding would be BORING! I am craving anything with a crust which is strictly verboten. I have developed a keen understanding of the term, "glass jaw". I don't recognize the inside of my mouth anymore, it's a whole new world. I wish I could blame this silly post on painkillers, but they make me sick and sleepy so I am doing just fine with Vitamin "I" aka Ibuprofen.
I just wanted to thank you all so much for your support and I hope you enjoy something chewy, scrumptious, and solid, like a crisp apple or juicy steak, or lobster, or OMG, I am torturing myself. Back to the ice bags and insanely stupid TV.
