Its been just over a week since I had to go into hospital and have both of my lower wisdom teeth removed via general anesthetic.
I've eaten a grand total of 5 cod fish fillets, two bananas, two pieces of weetabix (shredded and drowned in milk), half a bowl of plain pasta and four pudding cups since the operation. 9 days ago. I have a ton of sores/ulcers
I am constantly tired, weak, and hungry. Not to mention my anxiety levels are through the roof thanks to warnings about what will happen if I get food stuck in either of the gaps left.
My diet before the surgery was pretty limited as it was, and I was hoping to get by on blended milkshakes but the blender broke. Earlier I tried eating an over-ripe banana (something that usually makes me puke but I was desperate) and it not only hurt my mouth but it also caused bleeding.
The bloods stopped now but I really don't know what to do. I don't have a dentist. I don't have the means to get to an emergency dentist (even if I disregard the fact I'm terrified of going to the dentist let alone travelling by myself).
I've tried googling for post-op advice for anyone on the ASD spectrum but I can't find anything to help. Has anyone else on the spectrum been through this before?
