I was loopy going home, but my husband refused to record me. Lame. Luckily I was able to text my friends once I got home, so some of my silliness is recorded. I was numb for about 7 hours after the surgery. There was more bleeding than I expected. Im super worried about dry sockets. I stopped putting gauze in after the numbing went away. I made sure to only drink (without a straw) my calories until dinner, and I ate mashed potatoes. I have one tooth that hurts, but the other three are totally fine. I asked for tramadol as a pain killer, because I can't do opioids. The sites feel a bit tight and weird, but not in pain (except the one and only when I rinse it out). My question is, how easy is it to get a dry socket and is it obvious when you get one? I feel like everything I do with my mouth is a sucking motion (swallowing, taking pills,etc), and im worried about dry socket/infection.
