I had my wisdom teeth removed. Haven't gone out except that. I wasn't comfortable going in (dental work sending mouth particles out in the air seems bad right now), but it was necessary. They managed things well enough for the exam I felt okay about it. The removal was a bit less precautions which surprised me plus was nearly 3 hours total. The post op was not comforting at all as the room next to me was in use doing things that put a lot out in the air.
Will be happier when I am past this stage and can stay home again.
Hope your mouth feels better soon
That's brutal
Had a surprise BD party for my wife's big 60th in May. There were about 20 family members attended w/o wearing a mask... All 20 of us are still alive and healthy.
Feels great at least we had a little surprise party for her.
Sounds please save me a piece!.Went to a kids play date last week. Four families.
Hosting another play date this Wednesday.
I'm very comfortable with what I choose to do so I never freak out afterwards.
Frankly I'm more stressed about executing a lychee cake and cooking pasta for 12 people.

Thank you! This one has been awful. I resorted to posting on my local FB page looking for a dentist who is in on Sundays. The pain meds are barely touching the pain. Turns out the dental assistant forgot to tell me to WET the tea bag before biting on it to stop the bleeding so I ended up with dry socket for nearly 5 days and didn't realize as the pain hadn't increased so didn't know there was an issue. (Well, other than the bad pain which I put off the large wound needing stitches.)

Good gracouse
Id be drinking away the pain - through a straw
Not allowed straws. Can cause dry socket. Not allowed alcohol due to pain meds. (lousy flavor in mouth and pain from still open wound makes it not very tempting anyway)
Just hoping I don't end up with more COVID from all of these dentist visits! That really would just be the icing on the cake!
Our most daring outing to date was attending my MIL's funeral and wake.
My DH and I spent four hours with friends and family this past Monday saying goodbye to my mother in law. Two and a half hours in the funeral home and one plus hour in the church and about a half hour at the cemetery. So yeah that was our most risky outing since the Covid 19 pandemic started. And we are not out of the woods yet since we are only 5 days (today is day 6) past that day.
How do I feel? Sad she is gone. It was a shock because she was in relatively good health til her cancer diagnosis but even that had a 3-5 year solid prognosis with treatment. The treatment put her into multi organ system failure and that is what ultimately ended her life.
How do I feel about the funeral and services that day? Concerned. We didn't want to hold it during Covid 19 but my DH's brothers wanted to and they were the ones who planned the entire day. Worried we put our family and friends at risk. Many people showed, friends included. Despite us telling them to please stay home. They wanted to pay their respects and view us as family. I am hoping no one gets infected with Covid 19 as a result of that day.
