Currently on Day 3 post bilateral primary molar extraction. Dalawang bagang lang naman ‘to. Under Augmentin and Mefenamic Acid therapy both to be taken three times a day and in full stomach. On top of that, I have to regularly apply Solcoseryl gel on the site and gargle with Orahex solution, before and after my (boring) meals respectively. Affected site is on minimal and ocassional bleeding. My face looks really wide, it is more defined into a square-boxy typed (is there such description? Lol) I am looking hideous at the moment but the good thing is my lips looks smaller compared to the surface area of my cheeks.
My current paawa face. huhu #nofilter LOL
Gosh, I wanna get this done and over with. The days are getting by so slow. I have to be on bed rest that means I had to skip work. And I felt like I am in total torture right now. It was a bad decision to get my teeth extracted during the season of festivity. Instead of ranting over this painful experience, Ill just put this writing thru Sunday Currently format. Hopefully I could produce a less nega-post. LOL I’ll try.
Reading – I am wonder why I detached myself from reading Ebooks this past days. This thing is supposed to get me day by day but no it didn’t. So I have been a good follower of bed rest. Lol. I am surprised the length of time I have been spending in the bed recently. But damn, I wanna go out, accomplish some errands, go back to work. Nonetheless, this is a good reminder to try to open and finish at least a single story. I have several unfinished books in my library. I am just good at starting but when the story starts to bore me down, I discontinue and randomly open an interesting title on my list. So here are the books I recently started. I’ll keep an eye on Just One Night by Gayle Forman later. I swear… 
Writing – Aside from writing this blog, I started putting a pen on my 2018 Starbucks Planner. I usually have hesitations on using new stuff because I might err or something but with a planner I never get that feeling. I have always been excited to write my name, doodle and put my personal stuff on it. I am almost finish with it, I am putting highlighted colors on my monthly prioritizations. Sounds so maarte ba? No, But I just like organizing my things as this helps me arrange my thoughts as well. In addition to this, I have also plotted my last day of antibiotics and follow up check up with my dentist for this coming week. I love how my planner turns from a clean slate into a colorful mess with my highlighters.
I have few drafts waiting to be updated in my blog, from Arriva’s Year-end party to my overdue write up about my Bora trip. I just couldn’t find the interest to talk about it because number 1: I am uncomfortable with this swelling and number 2: I am preoccupied with how uncomfortable the swelling is.
Listening/Watching – “Fix You” by Coldplay is playing on my laptop. Whew! Just in time di’ba. Sige Coldplay fix me, fix me naaaaaw! I took an off from my IG and FB as well. I prevented myself from getting stress over annoying news on social media. Sabi ni doc, rest daw muna.
So I anticipated these days to be boring so I saved few movies and Korean drama episodes on my laptop beforehand. It’s not that I am an avid fan of Kdramas but at least it helps me get by. I just finished watching “Crystal Inferno” and 10 episodes of “Pretty Ugly” which I randomly picked and good thing it entertained me. Haha. Yesterday I watched an Indie-film called “Una & Larry”, which made me realized that Indie films are really not my thing. So now, I am left with nothing but update my blog.
Thinking – I am thinking of leaving home at this moment. I think Mama is intentionally torturing me by cooking my favorite viands. Or if not, she even brings home a lot of food just like last night, when she appeared with boxes of Peach Mango Pie from Jollibee- Gusto ko yuuuun! A can of Broas, Lechon Baboy and a tray of cassava cake. I am on day 3 post-op and my dentist told me that it could be swollen up to 3 to 4 days maximum. But it feels like forever! I am tired of eating porridge. So ‘effin tired.
Smelling/Eating – Gosh, seriously. I am smelling Lechon Paksiw from the kitchen. Our condo’s exhaust fan has no use so I have to bear with this. Mama just called me to eat I told her that I cannot eat paksiw. Unconvincingly she said that she spare me the soft parts, I took a peak and saw portions of the meat na mostly of strands must be soft nga talaga. Mama is so sweet that she also saved my favorite balat. Haaaaay. How can I hate her. She cooks the best paksiw and I can tell it is just by the stench of it. But I just can’t so I went back to my room and pretended to be busy and finish this output instead.
Wishing – I wish to finally get this done ASAP. It is no longer kick-ass painful, yet it occasionally bleeds and when it does it’s just a tinge on my saliva right after my meal or after a long sleep. But my face is still swollen. Just totally swollen. I cannot go out lookin like this. I wish to finally get a good meal and munch over it with a wide mouth. I want to eat a spicy and warm Ramen, pizza and a spicy fried chicken from my favorite local food-chain.
I also altered my meal time by adjusting it with my antibiotics intake. My doctor actually prescribed me an NSAID for twice a day intake and that would mean I will have to drink meds 4 x a day but I self –medicated with a different pain killer with thrice a day dosage so I can take it together with my Antibiotics. I am trying to less manipulate my mouth as much as possible.
Hoping – I should’ve thought wiser with my day of operation. It’s a bad decision to do this during the Christmas season. Very wrong! Thus I complaint a lot about being less understood, mental torture and other non-sense stuff. Haaaayy! I am planning to be back at work tomorrow. Hopefully only few agents will go to the clinic and make me talk. I was even confident and thinking of going to work on my OR date. Yabang ko di’ba? Didn’t expect that it could be this worse, the swelling, the pain haaaaay..
Wearing- I attended Day 2 of Simbang Gabi at 430 this morning and I of course didn’t took a bath that early just yet. And besides, St Joseph church is just few walks away from home in fact mga 20 na tumblings lang. But as I am writing this, I already completed my morning routine (which is not too grand btw). On my home clothing- braless, a sleeveless top and a comfy shorts. As I attended the mass earlier I can feel eyes on me or sadyang psycho lang talaga ako? Basta it seems to me like people stares at me and I can see pity on their eyes as if I am terminally sick. So yeah, I was wearing a facemask pala. The woman beside me even held my hand while singing the Our Father. I don’t know what to feel…
Loving – I love my new planner. I am looking forward to write on them and see if my goals been met at the end of the year. *too advance Billy! I frequently go to Alysza’s (my sister) room and bother her from whatever she was doing and ask for a hug. Hahaha I know she loves me and felt sad about my pain yet I annoy her to the point that she wanted to punch my swollen face.
Wanting – I can feel whiteheads outgrowing on my face specifically sa swollen area. Probably, because of the heat caused by the inflammation, my pores came open exposing the filthy whiteheads out! I wanted to have a decent facial naaaaaaaawww! I find facials more pampering than body massage by the way.
Also, I need to schedule for dewarts particularly in the neck area, although there are only few , I don’t want them to grow in size and in numbers that’s why I need to get rid of them, Though I can do it anytime I want, the scarring looks really unpleasant in the eyes so I again need to take a leave from work.
I wanna hang out with friends! Oh please! I also wanted a lil amount of alcohol which is not possible right now since I am taking antibiotics. Pffffft… I hate how I counteract my wants.
Needing- Patience for tomorrow’s duty. Hopefully few patients would come and see me tom just so I could refrain from speaking. Speaking isn’t prohibited post extraction, it’s just that I could barely speak and I am poorly enunciating my words. Nakaka-frustrate lang.
Feeling – Pain score of 1/10 when my mouth is not in stress but could be of 4/10 otherwise. Despite the discomfort and pain I can tell that I am getting better day by day. I felt happy that my dentist is so kind and just so good on his craft and we ended the procedure without any complications. I will be seeing him this coming Thursday for a follow up check-up.
And this is how my Sunday goes. Adios!
