Note: this entry was written around 2am; however, my site was down at that time, so I am posting it now!
How do you go about blogging? Do you sit and try to compose your thoughts and then lay them out in organized, neat little paragraphs? Or do you let it all out? Recently, it seems like I have been trying to compose my blog entries in organized, precise little paragraphs. But that gets old. Especially on nights like tonight, when my thoughts are jumbled and I spend five minutes looking at the blinking cursor and blank text area with nothing coming forth.
I went through ten wads of gauze before the gaping holes where my wisdom teeth used to be finally stopped bleeding. My face and neck are very puffy and swollen (as you guys noticed in my Flickr photos)The Vicodin is a godsend, much like the Percocet was after I had Ryan. When it was starting to wear off Wednesday evening, I could feel the pain creeping towards me, and it rushed right in and broadsided me when I was talking on the phone. Since then, I have been watching the clock like a hawk, and as soon as the four hour mark hovers near, I’m reaching for the pill bottle. I’m not a druggie by any stretch of the imagination, but I had a been-there-done-that moment after I had Ryan, and I forgot a dose until nearly an hour and a half later. The pain was horrific. Since I know firsthand what that sudden wave of pain is like, I refuse to let it grab hold.
I finally ate as well, about twenty-six hours since the last time I did. It took me about half an hour to slurp down a bowl full of applesauce, and I feel so much better with having something in my stomach. My mom brought over some crock pot meals for me to make for Alyssa, Ryan and myself (Dan is working mostly second shift this week), and if the weather isn’t too bad on Thursday (we’re supposed to get a nasty mess of snow and freezing rain in the morning), I’m going to go out to stock up on soft foods.
And… Christmas cards! I finished them up Tuesday afternoon, and addressed the envelopes for a few extras a little while ago. If I can get out to get to the post office, the cards will head out later today. If not, Friday.
All right, I’m going to get back to watching Nip/Tuck. I finished up the first season on Monday, and started on the second season Tuesday. I’m now the second to last episode of the second season. 
I know how you feel about the pain medicine. I just had surgery and I also watch the clock. Every four hours, I’m taking a pain pill. I think that’s what we are suppose to be doing, in order to be pain free.
I’ve never really thought about it. But, when I blog, I just start writing. Half the time it doesn’t even make sense. I have thought about sitting down and composing my entries into perfect paragraphs, but I’d probably get frustrated with it. I like just being able to open up wordpress and start typing.
PS: i love apple sauce.
I just write whatever comes into my head generally, don’t really plan things out TOO much. At least you were able to get something into your stomach, it can only get easier right?
I totally understand about the pain meds. When I had my gallbladder out, I slept through one of my dose times and I couldn’t move when I woke up because I was in so much pain. So you’re definitely not being a druggie, you’re being smart!
Oh I feel for you and understand you completely I had my 4 wisdom teeth taken out not to long ago and it was awful. I had all kinds of bruising .
Oh so you had your wisdom teeth removed? I hope it didn’t hurt too bad.
Are you able to eat more things now? I only had one wisdom tooth removed back in October so I *probably* still have 3 to go, lol.
About the blogging…I sometimes know what I want to blog about earlier during the day but sometimes I feel like I *have* to blog but I don’t know what to blog about and that gets really frustrating. I usually type a lot of things and then delete like half of it just because I realise that the things I wrote about aren’t too important.
I basically never know what I’m going to write about when I blog. I just let it flow. Whatever is on my mind. Sometimes I’ll remember something else I wanted to say and then go back and put it in earlier in my entry, though.
I hope that you keep feeling better. Wisdom teeth pain are no fun. Hopefully we will see some pictures of you smiling soon.
I’m sad. I go through the day thinking of things I can blog about and then when I finally get to the computer, I try and put as much down as I can. I have two separate blog posts prepared in my head right now.
I *never* plan out a blog entry or put it in any sort of order… which is obvious. haha I just let it all flow, and if it’s jumbled then so be it. I’m lucky to even get out a few coherent paragraphs right now – busy and sorta burned out on blogging.
