Seriously, do NOT get anything back over the socket of a missing tooth and bite.
From this point on, I will be sooooo careful about where things are in my mouth. Good lord. Ow.
Just thinking about it again makes me cringe.
What a fun present to wake up to; the swelling is gone! Or at least so close that it’s just about the same.
Now it’s just a matter of the sockets healing and the last of the pain leaving. I can’t tell you how much I want to eat some real food. By real food I mean something that I have to chew.
So on Wednesday I had my wisdom teeth “extracted” (”yanked out of my head!” as I like to say) and was not looking forward to days of things like apple sauce.
Luckily for me I’d just had these from Bob Evans. Now normally I’d prefer to make my own mashed potatoes, but part of what makes them good (to me) is that they aren’t perfectly smooth.
So, these Bob Evan’s mashed potatoes are both perfectly smooth (yay for not chewing) AND addictingly tastey. Plus, you feel like you’ve eaten something, which is a real problem with other soft foods.
Anyway, kinda rambling on in a nonsensical way so I’ll put an end to it 
Suffice it to say, I recommend these things if you have your wisdom teeth yanked out of your head 
I find this amusing, my brain has been trying to use German words to fill gaps in my Chinese.
Not like “Ok, I know I should know how to say Hi”, but more like when I’m pondering how one might say “good morning” given what I know (very little). So my brain just drops in a German word here and there.
As long as it doesn’t keep it up - which I’m sure it won’t as my vocabulary expands - it’s funny. If it does it on a test, I’ll be less amused.
Well, this system now has more RAM. Woo! Actually it was becoming a necessity. While the system ran ok most of the time, given all that I ask it to do it was getting a little, uhm, unhappy.
I hope that the characters show up properly (Chinese pinyin characters - basically roman letters with tonal notation).
I’ll check in a couple browsers, but unfortunately I may not be able to get all the characters to display the way that they should.
Edit:
Spectacular! The pinyin characters displayed properly in Safari, IE 7 and Firefox. I imagine that they display properly in IE 6 as well, so that basically covers the browsers that I expect to come through here.
Oh, and “Nǐ hǎo” is basically hello.
My Chinese classes start tomorrow (for those to whom that is news, I’m taking a Chinese class….), so wish me luck
Actually I think I more need the luck that the person teaching is good.
Wonder if WordPress will let me post in Chinese (well, it will, just wonder if it will do so easily…)
