Out of Action April

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for the lack of posts over the last few weeks.
I've been busy on & off with Family & work...
Mostly I've been feeling rather unwell for multiple reasons.

So, I intend for this post to be a bridge from the end of March up until now.

So lets start at the beginning as that makes the most sense!
I had my 2nd wisdom tooth taken out in the morning of the 1st April & as it was the 2nd tooth, I knew roughly what to expect.

I have been suffering at the hands of my wisdom teeth for about 7, maybe 8, years now and my Dentist finally referred me to a Facial & Oral Surgeon to have them removed back in September 2014.

This time I had my lower left wisdom tooth removed... and this has not been a great experience tooth wise for me.
I had to have 2 doses of anaesthetic as, obviously, the first one wasn't too effective. I usually react poorly after having anaesthetic so I wasn't surprised.

20 minutes of having your jaw wrenched open and pulled about does leave you with a bit of discomfort.
I had more swelling this time round and found that it took about 5 hours for some feeling to come back.

I was still in excruciating pain 2 days later and taking regular painkillers with no relief.
So I started looking for a few answers on Google.
(Yes, I know that is never a good idea as I could have found out I was dying or something.)

I came across a NHS symptom page that suggested my pain could be related to a side effect called 'Dry Socket'

"Dry socket

Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) is one of the most common complications of wisdom tooth removal. It occurs when a blood clot fails to develop in the tooth socket, or if the blood clot becomes dislodged or disappears. This can happen three to five days after surgery.

The empty socket causes an ache or throbbing pain in your gum or jaw, which can be intense. There may also be an unpleasant smell or taste from the empty tooth socket. If you look into the socket, you might be able to see exposed bone rather than a blood clot."

Anyway, by that Sunday I was still in pain but not as much as the days before. That is until my nephew innocently bashed my jaw with a rubber Dinosaur.

Thankfully after a bit of time and lots of painkillers I am happy to say that my gum is now healing well and I have absolutely no pain.

However - I am due to have the last 2 teeth extracted on the 25th April!

Lets just hope this time It goes smoothly...

So besides tooth discomfort, I've actually had a lovely few weekends seeing Family - all on the Husband's side.

We enjoyed a relaxed family filled Easter Sunday with the Whole Clan.

 My mother in law made Cheesecake, Scones with Cream and Raspberry Jam & Peppermint Crisp Tart  - My Favourite! 

Bank Holiday Monday was quieter and there was less naughty treats....

 My Easter Weekend Look!

The weekend just gone was also spent at the In-Law's where we had a spontaneous BBQ on Saturday and took The boys (Riley & Kai) out for a lovely walk at Crabtree Plantation on Sunday Morning.

They really enjoyed themselves... Riley was in his element collecting and carrying as many sticks and logs as he could find!

It's one of my favourite childhood places I still like to visit often.

I know this post hasn't been very exciting but there isn't much more for me to say...
I hope my lovely readers had a great few weeks whatever you did!

Peace Out

Hailie ✌
