Eating Soft Food For 2 Weeks And 10 Other Wince-Worthy Struggles About Oral Surgery

In This Article:

If you've ever had to have any type of oral surgery, whether it be wisdom teeth or fillings, you will understand the complicated recovery process.

Through my years of braces, retainers, wisdom teeth removal, and most recently, a gum graft, I have come to gain a lot of wisdom on the topic of oral surgery. You can probably also relate to these 11 feelings you have after oral surgery.

1. Eating nothing but soft foods for 2+ weeks

2. Utilizing this time to indulge in your favorite Ben & Jerry's ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Giphy

3. Sadly, getting tired of this flavor and craving foods you never thought you'd miss

Giphy

4. Accidentally brushing too hard on the area that received the surgery and immediately regretting it

Giphy

5. Trying to see if it has healed at all after the first hour and tilting your head and mouth weird angles to see it

Giphy

6. Finding this angle and wishing you hadn't because it 100% has not healed yet

Giphy

7. Wondering if your swollen face will ever go back down to normal again

Giphy

8. Hiding out in your room even after your doctor says your fine to leave the house because of your swollen face

Giphy

9. Taking pain medicine and zoning out before realizing it's been 20 minutes and you burnt your scrambled eggs on the stove

Giphy

10. Waking up after your pain medicine runs out in so much pain, not remembering why your mouth is hurting

Giphy

11. Finally realizing that your mouth has healed after about a week and appreciating having a normal mouth once again.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
