::Soft Diet

Wednesday, July 05, 2006

Seeing my daughter with a swollen jaw due to last Monday's Odontectomy treatment crushed my heart into pieces.

She's on a soft diet as soon as we arrived from the clinic. She can barely open her mouth that she has to use teaspoon instead of the usual tablespoon. She complained of numbness on her right lower molar teeth area. Thankfully, Randy had the same treatment when he's same age of daughter and he knew exactly what daughter had been experiencing.

Her medication kept her sleeping most of the time. Guess the 2 hours oral surgery made her so tired and weak. She's not allowed to drink directly from the bottle that will require suction, especially using a straw. She's also upset that she couldn't smoke as it will cause dryness on her affected gum with stitches.

Everytime she had her soft diet, she has to use warm salt-water mouthwash as directed by Dr. Ferrer. Her next schedule will be next Monday, to remove her stitches.
