Wisdom Teeth Day 6: Dry Socket

Hey, ladies!

Did you know we are more prone to developing dry socket than men? And those of us on oral contraceptives are even more likely to develop it? AND certain times in our "cycles" make us even MORE likely to get dry socket? As if we didn't have enough with our bodies to put up with.

Still, it's not as horrible as I thought it would be. Pain pills are my friends for a while, is all. I'm more or less back to a regular diet, it just takes me a really long time to eat anything. I find myself turning down all kinds of treats I'd normally scarf in a heartbeat because I just don't want to take the time to eat it, then irrigate bits of it out of my open sockets with salt water. Not worth the effort.

Maybe this is the motivation I've been needing to finally drop those ten pounds!
