Quick 3

1. I’m at work eating baby food at my desk – BANANA – don’t judge me, damn teeth

2. My post wisdom teeth surgery diet has make me constipated for the first time in my life. It’s horrible, I’ll leave it at that. I have new found sympathy for my sister who deals with that regularly.

3. I just joined a competitive division cornhole social league that starts in January. We need a name. Who has a funny suggestion – that has nothing to do with constipation please…too soon?

Chipmunk Cheeks

My face is hella swollen today from my wisdom teeth surgery, especially my right side. I look like Eddie Murphy in meet the Klumps.

It’s weird how my self esteem dropped and it’s literally upsetting to look at my face.

Josh took me to lunch to get out of the house. I had a scarf wrapped around my face because I felt so hideous, but he was sweet about it mostly haha. It was nice to see him and get of the house, plus he got a free lunch as a veteran which was pretty cool and it was nice to honor him.

Amnesia

So on 3 different occasions this week I’ve told people when I get my wisdom teeth out I’m getting amnesia, when I meant to say anesthesia!

Surgery is in 1 hour.

Thanks for all the messages earlier this week I am stocked up on: applesauce, oatmeal, Greek yogurt, ice cream, pudding, soup, protein shakes and BANANA BABY FOOD (a personal favorite of my sister and me until we were in like middle school)

Wisdom Teeth – GTFO

At 29 years old I’m getting my wisdom teeth out. 

This Friday.

All 4.

This will be my first surgery of any sort EVER.

I’ve never been under before and I’m scared. 

I have had wisdom tooth pain sporadically the past 12-18 months. Nothing too overwhelming until the week of the LA marathon in March when I was in blinding pain for about a week. Let’s cue to a few weeks ago – aka about a week or so before the Marine Corps Marathon – when I was in the same blinding pain. 

Since I wasn’t about to make a cross country move like I was in March, I went to my dentist and then get referred to an oral surgeon.

As far as I know they aren’t impacted, but my bottom left is erupted and that’s the one that caused so much trouble this time.

The neck-aches the past two weeks have been horrid and I’m currently battling a sinus infection, all of which I believe are connected to my teeth.

As sacred as I am about surgery, I’m hopeful that months and months of pressure and pain will be relieved. 

My roommate is taking Friday off to take me to the surgeon and help me recoop. 

Any helpful suggestions to ease recovery would be appreciated. 

Nothing says “America” like getting a $25 parking ticket because you were late to work after you waited outside in the cold for 2+ hours to vote and parked in a 30 min spot so you could get to a meeting

Long Beach boardwalk post Sandy…gone.

I’ve spent so many miles there. My last “get loose” run before my first half marathon, my first run longer than 13.1 miles run (when if you recall I tripped at mile 12.5 and face planted because my shoe caught a nail) which also happened to be my last run of 2011. Most recently I ran a few miles on the boardwalk on my birthday in August to celebrate.

It literally blows my mind and breaks my heart to see this picture which was sent to me by a friend whose friend is emergency personnel for the county.
