extractions

I had my two left rear molars out last Wednesday (before I wrote that last post I think.) I'm not delighted about giving up the teeth -- and also, I did think the recovery would be quicker. It hasn't been awful, but it's lingering. The sockets throb, even now, 4 days after the extractions (and an hour after my last tylenol!) I feel like the mastectomy recovery was quicker...... maybe because they stitched the wound up? I do wish the doc had stitched the sockets up -- I keep getting food in them, and that can't help with the healing.
