okay SO necessary background:
- i’m gluten free (severe intolerance)
- have been craving fried rice for forever and a day but i have to make it at home (using gluten free soy sauce)
-got my wisdom teeth out last friday (exactly a week ago)
with that in mind, let me set the scene:
i am feeling fine after my surgery (on post op day 7 and my sutures have already dissolved). i’ve been doing absolutely everything i can to take care of my mouth cause im terrified of getting dry socket 😭😭 i figure if im super careful and use the flush syringe thingy they gave me, i can make fried rice and then flush the holes.
i do so. i have an absolute BLAST in the kitchen making the meal! i’ve never made it before because im lazy and also absolutely useless in the kitchen, and it was even more fun cause i was listening to new music and enjoying trying something new.
i take my sweet time eating, actively flushing the holes between like every 10 bites because i can feel stuff getting in them and im getting grossed out lol, and then after i finish eating i do my final flush. disaster strikes!! as i’m flushing the upper right hole, the blood clot comes out and i am IMMEDIATELY hit with pain and know i have royally fucked up😔
actively panicking at this point but also trying to be chill, i email my surgeon (keep in mind it’s like 10:37pm on a friday night, this man is NOT responding to my stupid ass) and reluctantly grab the bag of peas from the freezer, and get to icing.
i am now terrified to eat and am only drinking water😭 i should NOT have made that meal but alas, the cravings were too strong </3
(photo included so you can tell me you’re proud of me for trying something new :3, i even diced an onion for the first time)
