Mouth still healing, brain rather fuzzy

There are pain killers and then there are incapacitating pain killers. The hole left in my gums doesn’t hurt as much as that rotten tooth did (when it was raging) but it still smarts. So I’ve been taking what the dentist wrote me a note for to keep me distracted from the pain. Distracted would be an understatement. My brain has been so fuzzy, I’m amazed I can call the sick line at work correctly. The stuff also puts me to sleep for really long stretches. On the upside, it surpresses my appetite which counters all the pudding I’ve been eating. Solid food is just a nuisance too. If I don’t keep chewing on the right side of my mouth, something will get in the former tooth’s place and getting it out is probably the hardest game of Operation I’ve ever played. Gross, I know. Again, at least the area is closing up and either it will be sealed up forever or the wisdom tooth behind it will be pushing its way in to the vacancy.
