Recovery

I've had a remarkably quick recovery. Have taken maybe 7 1/2 pain killers (mostly in halves) and it feels more like my teeth are going to jump out of my gums. This is what I'm guessing braces might feel like. Also, the stitches have been most itchy. Took a couple days before I could brush my teeth well - I have a cleaning set for March 16th so they really have their work cut out for them. Started eating solids again because I might just stop eating if I have potatoes for one more meal. Baby bites. Learned the hard way that it's a bad idea to get chicken katzu at Ginza as the crispies get inside my lip and burn my stitches. Do I even have stitches there? Sure feels like it.
