I woke up this morning, a good indication that I am still alive. 
I had both molars on the right side removed yesterday, as I said. I was given laughing gas, which keeps you calm. The assistant kept asking me if I wanted it turned up, nope, so it must have been a small dose. And she told me I might need my sinus operated on since the roots pushed up against the cavity. If that happens you can’t blow your nose for two weeks.
The snap of my teeth, as he broke them off, was disconcerting. Then he drilled the roots out. Luckily, they did not need to operate on the sinus. I have to rinse out my mouth after eating with warm salt water. Oh, joy. I was given strong pain killers, but I found that most of the pain was from pressing down on a gauze to try and stop the bleeding for 4 hours.
It lessen, never stopped, and today I am to take it easy. Which to me means carry on as usual cause it’s not like I am digging ditches. I have to take an antibiotic, increase my prednisone for a few days, and eat only soft foods. The handout was more explanation than the “jello and ice cream nurse”. I was able to eat my morning pancake.
So back to working in the garden. It aches quite a lot, my surgery sight not my garden, but I don’t need the pain killers. No predicated brushing yet and swelling has gone down a lot. With mmy dental insurance, for the removals, it was 95 dollars.
