Update: Day 2.

Well, it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The first day was definitely the worst. Lots of pain medication! Anyway, the pain is manageable and as long as I don't try to chew, or as long as I keep any food type substance out of the clear retainer that covers the roof of my mouth, I am good. The few times that I have tried to eat something and a tiny bit gets under the retainer, it is extremely painful and takes awhile to calm down.
I tried to eat some real food tonight. It tasted good. I even tried using my baby food grinder to grind up some leftover mac and cheese. But the worst was grinding up some peaches and adding a jar of baby food sweet potatoes to it. Don't ask me why I did it. I was a little high on drugs at the time. Surprisingly, it didn't taste so good, but I hadn't eaten much all day and I was trying to get as much nutrition in the small amount I could get myself to eat as possible. I force fed myself a container of baby food carrots too. Something about texture of food that makes it taste better. Maybe I should have warmed it up first.

Thanks to everyone who has brought me food. That has been the best food I have had to eat!

And especially thanks to my honey who bought me beautiful pink roses. They are sitting by my bed for me to look at while I lay drugged out. They make me happy every time I see them.

If anyone else ever has to get this done, make sure you get the retainer that goes over the top of your mouth! That makes a huge huge difference!
