    I wrote recently about my short term recovery from wisdom tooth surgery, now it’s time to fill you in on the longer term recovery. I’m at two and a half weeks out from surgery now and it’s been a little bit of a […]

    • The surgery definitely is not as bad as we have imagined, but the recovery is painful!
      Fortunately my wisdom teeth were removed long ago, and without the need for surgery.
      The dentist just pulled them out.

    • tooth pain, men that is one pain i would do anything to avoid. i have never liked tooth ache leave alone surgery, that’s painful. i can only imagine what pain you had to go through, sensitivity is also part of it and it is so uncomfortable you can’t chew food properly because you are always thinking that maybe the tooth may loosen up an fall out. But thank goodness you are recovering well.

    I remember being in a hospital and seeing the nurses being busy on Facebook instead of caring for their patients.

    That sounds like it must have been very scary to have happen at the airport! I agree with what Shavkat said – that sounds like it shouldn’t have been left in you. I had the same surgery some years ago and nothing was left inside me.

    • The article I read in healthmad.com listed tuna, dark chocolates, hummus and walnuts as foods to help lift your spirit. 🙂

    • Depression is more than just a low mood – it’s a serious condition that affects your physical and mental health.

      Depression affects how you feel about yourself and makes life more difficult to manage from day to day. The encouraging news is that there are a range of treatments, health professionals and services available to help with depression, as well as information on what you can do to help yourself.

      To fight depression we must eat these fruits and vegetables as Beta-carotene: apricots, broccoli, cantaloupe, carrots, collards, peaches, pumpkin, spinach, sweet potato

      Vitamin C: blueberries, broccoli, grapefruit, kiwi, oranges, peppers, potatoes, strawberries, tomato

      Vitamin E: margarine, nuts and seeds, vegetable oils, wheat germ

      besides, Foods like turkey, tuna, and chicken have an amino acid called tryptophan, which may help you make serotonin. Try to eat something with protein several times a day, especially when you need to clear your mind and boost your energy.

      Good sources of healthy proteins include beans and peas, lean beef, low-fat cheese, fish, milk, poultry, soy products, and yogurt.

    I think it could be totally within the range of normal to not have wisdom teeth or be missing some.  Stuff just happens.

    I’m 31 Grecy.  I tried to keep mine but they finally started acting up.  I ended up with an infection last weekend but I’m on antibiotics now and it’s working on healing up!

    Prescription pain killers are often prescribed by doctors after surgery or for conditions such as back pain or even minor injuries. More and more, they are becoming a problem due to people becoming addicted to […]

    • When I was in the hospital they were giving me a particular pain medication, which I didn’t take. The pain was not that bad and I considered it was better to manage the pain on my own then become addicted.

      When I left the hospital they gave me about 2 dozen of these pills which I kept unopened.

      The pain I had was never that bad that I couldn’t manage it, but I think I was more afraid of addiction than the pain.

    • What a wonderful article! Thanks for posting. The problem some people have is that they have failed to accept the negative part so as to seek for a way of doing away with it. Others believed that negativity does not exist therefore they kept making the naive mistakes. It’s high time we correct ourselves before we are being corrected. Thanks for posting.

    I don’t write that many blog posts.  It is hard sometimes to think of a good SEO topic to write about.  Yesterday I wrote two though.  Do we still have the 300 word minimum?  I saw some blog posts that were published which were less than that I believe.
