After Surgery

Surgery over. Mouth swollen. Hurts to talk. Tooth is gone now. Saying I feel like dying is an understatement. Still numb, but not numb enough. Jaw hurts, but will start to heal now. Infection still present where other tooth used to be (the one that fractured my jaw as it was pulled) Site where other teeth were removed last week opened back up. Feels like lots of stitches were used. So much blood. Ruined my shirt. Hoping my pain meds will be ready soon. Starting to hurt. Surgeon did much better with this than dentist did last week. Helps that I was knocked out though, I think. Very kind and christian surgeon. Comforting. Held my hand and prayed over me/with me before starting surgery. Gave me a BIG discount. Said nicely, this WAS caused by previous dental screw-up. Never going to see that other dentist ever again. This all could have been avoided. But not bitter. Just grateful to have found a good surgeon to fix it for me. Praising God that the pain will come to an end. Ready to finally be able to eat REAL FOOD/not soup. Glory given to God for leading me to the oral surgeon I met today. There are good God loving people in this world. Compassionate and caring. Feels like I met an angel today. And no, that's not the pain meds talking. Anesthesia made me sick. Going to sleep until I don't hurt anymore.
