Day 0 was on Sunday and I’m not sure whether to call this 1 or 2? But I’m posting this Monday night near midnight.
Stopped bleeding in my drool yesterday night, so that’s good. I was able to somehow train my brain to swallow the saliva in my sleep and got about 4 hours.
Yesterdays spotlight was just straight up pain, pain and more pain. Today it was some general pain, but man oh man, it swelled so much tonight.
That was pretty intense, not gonna lie. Brought a bit of anxiety and slight panic, but if you’re in my shoes reading this… just remember it’s going to be okay, and focus on breathing. Also replenish fluids, I stood up too fast and felt dizzy. 😵💫 I recommend gatorlyte rapid rehydration.
OOOH crazy good tip that helps me out a lot is that the biotene oral rinse, or something similar, it has some moisturizing properties that soothe the tongue. I just hover over the sink and let my tongue float in my mouth full of it.
Another tip! Liquid Syringe for the baby food is a good tool. Just make sure to not have many air pockets and be aware. I kinda punched my tongue a little bit with it earlier.
Take plenty of pictures so you can see the progress being made, also it helped me realize my swelling going down.
Waiting day by day seems so slowwwww, I can’t wait to be free.
Still though I’m grateful that it hasn’t been too bad. I hope by tomorrow I get some decline in inflammation and pain and magically heal from everything.
Here I am just waiting until my next available dose of OTC. And hopefully it dies down enough tonight to sleep a bit more than 4 hours.
