It takes a lot of pudding
Wow, it takes a lot of pudding to fill a 17 year old up when that's all they can eat! Spencer had his wisdom teeth pulled today. Actually, 'pulled' is probably not an accurate word to describe what they had to do. It was more like digging, prying...you get the picture.
The teeth were so far up in his gums, they had to do an IV Sedation for the procedure which meant he had to be fasting so by 4:00 this afternoon when the sedation finally wore off, he was starving. I made him milkshakes, smoothies, puddings but still he was hungry. I made some cheesy mashed potatoes, then some soup. He is still starving and I am out of fresh ideas of things to feed him.
He is feeling miserable and in a lot of pain as one would expect but in the long run, it's good that we were able to get this done. Spencer's been begging for months to have them taken out because he has been so uncomfortable. Hopefully just another day or two of pain and he will be back to himself. In the meantime, I gotta run to the store for more milk...Used an entire gallon just since dinner time!

That was the worst for me!! Remember not to use straws w/ the drinks because the sucking motion can pull the stitches out (at least that's what they told me).
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine. I have only had one wisdom tooth pulled and it was no big deal really though I did get dry socket even though I never sucked on a straw. I am trying to be extra cautious with Spencer cause it would suck if he had complications from this.
ReplyDeleteI remember getting mine dug out too! OUCH! I also had the IV sedation, I remember waking up in my bed and that's it! Your lucky you only had 1, I had all 4 out and my little brother had 6! 4 on the bottom and 2 on top.He was in alot of pain too! Hope Spencer is feeling better now!
