About three or four days ago, I got two of my wisdom teeth taken out. Not a big deal as far as surgeries go (I had to take part in a teleconference using Skype chat instead of Skype voice that night and I took a day off work after to rest and heal), so I’d like to think I’m handling it okay.

But I could do without the swelling. Looking like I’m storing nuts in my cheek for the winter is fine. I don’t really need to speak clearly since I mumble frequently anyway. But I would really like to start eating solid foods again.

For instance, any of the following would suffice:

1) Any fast food burger and fries

We watched the full thing in marketing yesterday and I was jonesing for some flame-broil for about 4 hours after.

2) Mashed potatoes and gravy

Steak or chicken would be bonus. And I’ve never been a huge fan of asparagus, but it would work too.

3) Dim sum (i.e. Shrimp dumplings, BBQ pork bun, and chicken sticky rice in the leaf are classics)

Chewing required for most of the above.

4) One of those greasy pizzas from a large chain

5) Peanut butter sandwich made after the bread has been microwaved so that it is soft and warm and melts the PB

Not that my prescription for T#3′s doesn’t keep my spirits up…
