Surviving Wisdom Teeth Surgery

Good Morning friends!

I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for my wisdom teeth.  It’s been a rough rough road and at this point, I’d like to personally praise each and every person on the face of the planet who has endured wisdom teeth surgery and a pallet expander for braces because the past few weeks have been extremely difficult and I have a lot of respect for you!

A few things have helped me get by this past week:

  • My family & Nick -My parents did an excellent job caring for me throughout my surgery, I’m so thankful for them!  They made me milkshakes, woke me up in the middle of the night for pain meds, let me take over the couch all week long, and they just did a great job getting me through this!  Nick has been so patient with our lack of time together and very understanding throughout the whole process.  He’s brought me food and flowers!

Nick got these flowers from the farmer’s market the day after my surgery.

  • Arbonne Protein Powder – Seriously, I would have probably starved or become obese at this point if I didn’t have my Arbonne Protein Shakes plus Fiber.  It’s the only thing I could really get down my throat that was delicious, had nutrition, and was a quick fix to hunger.  Arbonne came at the perfect time for me!

  • Sweet Cappie! – Cappie was absolutely precious throughout my recovery.  He knew something wasn’t right because stayed by my side pretty much the whole time.  He slept at my feet while I watched tv or read a book.  He was a ray of sunshine for each and every day I had pain!

Although my mouth is finally getting back to normal from the wisdom teeth surgery, I’m scheduled to have my wires put in this morning for my braces, so I have another few days of pretty bad pain, but thank goodness for ibuprofen because it’s a life saver!

Everyone keeps saying that all of this will be worth it and I certainly hope that’s true because it’s been a rougher journey than I ever imagined!

  • What helped you survive while healing after wisdom teeth surgery?
  • Do you use protein powder?  Have you tried Arbonne’s?!  It’s delicious, vegan, and a complete protein!

Good Morning!  I’m literally popping in for 2 seconds to tell you why I’ve been MIA lately.  I got my wisdom teeth and 2 other teeth extracted on Friday to make room for my braces, so I’ve been pretty miserable ever since.  I do have to go back to work today and I’m not looking forward to that at all, mainly because I would rather do anything else but talk right now.  I could have used my down time productively and blogged, but who was I kidding… I was knocked out for hours at a time with the pain meds they gave me.  Sweet little Cappie was right by my side pretty much all weekend and could tell something wasn’t right.  I’m on the mend, but I still feel pretty yucky.  Hopefully I’ll be back at the blog sooner rather than later!  Next stop: Wires.  So I should expect discomfort for at least another week I assume.  Once I get through that initial phase of braces, I’m thinking I’ll be in a more chipper mood, right?!  I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend and took the time to remember why we celebrate.

Non-stop Monday!

Good morning!  This week has already been pretty busy for me, what about you?

I worked until about 3:30pm yesterday then headed out for Girls on the Run (our last meeting is tomorrow and I’m going to be a waterfall of tears!)  We kept it pretty simple yesterday since we’re already done with our 5k race.  We did our last lesson of the season for about half of it, then just let them choose games to play – their choices were freeze tag and the tangle game.  The tangle game (because I don’t know it’s actual name) is when you grab an arm across from you, different people linked to each arm and you can’t grab anyone that’s next to you, then you have to figure out how to untangle yourself.  We played that at one point during the season and surprisingly they loved it!  I don’t remember being a big fan of it as a child haha.  After GOTR, I headed over to Nick’s to pick him up for dinner, we chose our favorite chinese place because I heard a commercial on the radio for asian food and instantly craved it!  After dinner we had to pick up some signed waiver’s from our friends house because they’re joining us for the Dragon Boat Regatta this weekend and we had to bring the waiver’s to our practice session last night.  Since they had a graduation to attend (on a Monday night? Crazy!) we took the waivers for them.

In case you haven’t heard of a Dragon Boat Regatta, picture the largest canoe possible and stick 25 rowers in there who are racing for the win.  Our office is racing a boat so it should be a pretty fun work event this weekend!  I’ll be in the very front, leading the rowers in rhythm.  It’s a scary and tough task, but I think me and my partner did a stand up job last night.  Now I just need muscles by Saturday!  Are there any get ripped quick schemes out there?!

Another exciting thing from yesterday… MY FIRST ARBONNE PACKAGE ARRIVED!

I chose one of the business builder sets so I could get a large variety of products to start using.  I already knew that I loved the RE9 face wash set and the protein powder, so I figured the other stuff is probably added bonus because I assume I’ll be pleased with it as well and if not, then it’ll be great to share with others who may like it!  Not pictured is my shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.  You see here the RE9 face set, the Genius Resurfacing Pads, my business builder set of samples, catalogs, and information about the company, 2 bags of protein powder, 2 bags of fiber, and a box of digestion plus.  I don’t have stomach issues or digestion problems, so if you’re interested in a sample of Digestion plus, I’d be happy to mail one to you!  Send me an e-mail with your name & address at nobolognablog@gmail.com.

You’ll also notice just a few changes on the blog, the top right corner now has an Arbonne tab, once I start doing product reviews & informative posts, you’ll be able to find everything there.  I promise I’ll do my best not to saturate my blog with Arbonne product information, but you will occasionally see stuff about it and if you want to find that post again, you can always check that tab!  I also have a link to my personal Arbonne website, so you can browse our product catalog.  They have some really great ways of saving money with Arbonne, including a Preferred Client Discount, e-mail me if you’d like information on that!  At the present moment, I’ve highlighted some of my personal favorites on that page!

I swear I planned on talking about more with today’s post, but since we’ve already covered a handfull of topics, I’ll save the rest for tomorrow!

  • Has your week already been super busy?
  • Have you done Dragon Boating before?  Was it a lot of fun?  How long were you sore afterwards? 
  • What Arbonne products would you be most excited to try? – Skin Care, Beauty/Makeup, Nutrition?
