The Next Day
Yes, there is a next day after a tooth extraction. If you are like me, your dread of having the procedure done can kind of cloud out the rest of the week, But, I survived! Now, what shall I do with the day ahead?
My mouth is sore but not too bad. Nothing like when I had the eye tooth done. I can eat, drink and talk which are my priorities. I don't even need any pain relief. Actually, the whole process didn't require but three doses of Tylenol-regular strength. I think I have always had a fairly high pain tolerance, which in these situations is a real blessing.
After some content writing on my blog I think I will treat myself to a trip to the fabric store. Normally, this would also include a trip through Starbucks for some hot coffee, but nope. I have to hold off on very hot or very cold liquids and straws for a few days. No sense taking chances of irritating the extraction area and have a bleed out. Or worse yet, end up with a dry socket. That is pain like no other, let me tell you! I'll follow the rules and play it cool.
I see that the weather gurus are predicting SNOW for us again this weekend so starting a new quilting or sewing project would be a good idea. One European model shows our area in southern Wisconsin getting slammed with 5-8 inches of heavy snow. Well, that's just great. I've already put the Adirondack chair and matching side table out on the deck.
As you may recall from an earlier blog, that very deck was to be scraped and painted this weekend. Well, I guess that project is now on hold. I'm sure Mr. Quilter Cook will be very disappointed. Not. I still say let's buy a big outdoor rug and cover it up another year and avoid this job all together. In truth, Mr. Quilter Cook may secretly agree with me, but when he brought home a floor scraper last night to use on this project, I knew he was serious about getting it checked off his to-do list.
It's hard to know just what to do this time of year in Wisconsin. One day we are dancing around in summer skirts and sandals and out working in the flower gardens and the next day we are digging out from another snowstorm! AUGH!
It's supposed to get up in temps around 70 degrees with some rain this afternoon. That's normal for April. I can deal with it. Of course, I'll also deal with the snow. What choice do we have? We choose to live here.
