I can't tell whether this sore throat and occasional sneeze is a cold or the after effects of the tooth extraction. I have felt lousy for the past 4 days ever since I've had the tooth hauled out. I'm still whacking back the tablets and hoping that they will resolve the headache and other jaw and throat issues.
Last night was one of those nights where - as often happens - I got to thinking too much and the room closed in around me and I felt claustrophobic and melancholy all at the same time. I'm not sure what brought it on, maybe the slight tweaks in my throat and nose were making me breath unusually or perhaps thinking about things too much from the previous blog. I certainly had an unsettled night taking a while to relax and then to actually fall asleep.
Little episodes like this happen and I sometimes don't understand why - I'm really fragile and vulnerable at those moments. I was really sad and down and just felt sorry for myself. Luckily these episodes pass and I can get up and on pretty fast from them these days.
I need to see if I can find out what the trigger event(s) were so I can recognise this sort of thing coming and deal with it. At least it isn't as bad as the earlier episodes which gives me hope that these will continue to get fewer and farther between and be shorter and less intense. They are still not very nice though. I guess my heads repairing itself as well as my body getting back to some sort of normality.
