I CAN'T EAT!

[EmilieMadison]

I had two fillings earlier today- one on the top left, one on the bottom left. It's been 3 hours and I'm starving, but my face (the entire left side) is still numb- even my ear! My mouth itself is not, nor is my tongue. But my left cheek and lips are numb and sort of droopy and food keeps falling out of my mouth   At least I'm not in danger of biting my tongue off without feeling it...

Time for a fancy milkshake! Or would that just dribble out?

[wambam]

This is THE reason milkshakes were invented.

MILKSHAKE!!!

[iamgrace]

Yup. Milkshake.

How about an iced coffee? I'm not big on milkshakes.
I should take a picture of my face, it's hilarious!

It will be safe to eat solid foods before dinner

Iced coffee is fine. Yogurts.

Oh frig I hate that!
Get a nice milkshake or a smoothie or something

i remember having to work hard at eating so that i wouldn't dribble after having dental work done. Shakes, smoothies, soups, etc are all good. Basically, anything in a soft, liquid like form is good.
