The best advice is always free advice, well at least at Wal-Mart anyway. This is what I have learned in a nutshell after today. While looking for soft foods that I can eat post wisdom teeth surgery, I ran into this lady who works at a dentist's office (she looked like she worked at a dentist's office too, if that's possible, but I think we all know the look I'm talking about). My dentist did a really great job at removing my wisdom teeth, because I never experienced any pain afterwards and I'm healing really fast. However, they did a poor job of explaining when I could start eating what, when it was ok to use a straw, etc. Who knew that reaching for the pineapple would result in an opportunity to answer all my current dental questions? Just by asking to hand me the pineapple she immediately assumed that I had just gotten my wisdom teeth pulled. Do I have a sign on my forehead that says so or something? Because I'm definitely not swollen enough to tell. Anyway, she explained that taking penicilin after surgery was normal (I now think that I am allergic to penicilin now btw), and that I should already be able to drink from a straw with no worries. Nutmeg laughed at me afterward because of how fast I jumped at the chance to pummel the women with questions. Hey what was I supposed to do, its the weekend and my dentist hasn't gotten back to me yet?!? Desperate times called for desperate measures!
