It’s been better today. I’ve just avoided foods that need chewing and most of the time I try to find ways to occupy my brain so that I don’t think about my teeth. I do get waves of claustrophobia with having something filling my mouth and have a moment when I can feel panic rising and I want to rip everything out but it doesn’t last long and I can breathe through that.
I am hungry but the idea of chewing anything just puts me off eating. I can see this would be an excellent weight loss program if that was something you needed to use!
I believe that the pain will subside in a few days and am hoping that the rest of these 2 weeks will just get easier and I will forget all about them. I hope so- this is only the first tiny step in a very long process and if it’s like this the whole way I wonder about not losing my temper at some point! Though I’ll certainly lose weight….
