拔牙渡劫的一周 My Week-Long Ordeal with Tooth Extraction【中文/English】

拔了颗牙，缝了两针，浑浑噩噩熬了整整一周。基本不出门、不说话，大半时间都瘫在床上，除了按时吃消炎药和止疼药，就靠米粥和蛋羹续命。吃到最后肚子空得发慌，忍不住点了无奶油的云朵蛋糕，也是这时候才发现，这款蛋糕的细软口感，居然格外适合恢复期吃。

前三天特别怕吵，为了转移注意力，要么看小说要么昏睡；后两天试着刷视频，声音也不敢开太大。不管是走路、摆头还是拿东西，都战战兢兢的，就怕牵扯到伤口。直到第六天清晨，终于敢大胆做些面部运动，打哈欠、嘟嘴、呲牙甚至笑，基本没了痛感。等到第八天拆完线，听大夫说恢复得不错，确认可以停药时，才算彻底如释重负，浑身都松快了。慢悠悠从医院溜达着回家。

不得不说，每个人对疼痛的感知差异是真的大。想起以前认识的一个朋友，止痛药对她根本没用，必须靠麻药才行，对比下来我已经算很幸运了。只是一周流食吃下来，咀嚼能力明显退化，特意对比软硬程度选了肉松芝士红豆面包，吃的时候还是觉得费力，能囫囵咽下去都觉得是件了不起的事。大概是身体在悄悄补偿自己，这几天总馋甜甜的东西，好在有面包和奶茶，总算稍微安慰了下委屈的自己～

I had a tooth pulled and got two stitches. I got through the whole week in a daze. I hardly went out or spoke, mostly lying in bed. Besides taking anti-inflammatory pills and painkillers on time, I survived on porridge and steamed egg custard. By the end, my stomach was really empty and hungry, so I had to order a cream-free cloud cake. That’s when I found out—its soft texture was perfect for my recovery.
I couldn’t stand loud noises for the first three days. To distract myself, I either read novels or slept. For the next two days, I tried watching videos, but I didn’t dare turn the sound up too much. Whether I walked, shook my head or picked up things, I was really careful, afraid I’d pull the wound. Not until the morning of day six did I finally dare to do some facial moves—yawning, pouting, showing my teeth, even smiling—with almost no pain. After getting the stitches out, the doctor said I was healing well and told me I could stop taking the medicine. Only then did I feel totally relieved, and my whole body relaxed. I walked slowly home from the hospital.
Honestly, people feel pain so differently. I remember a friend I knew before—painkillers didn’t work on her at all; she had to use anesthesia. Compared to her, I was lucky. But after a week of soft, liquid food, my chewing got really weak. I checked which bread was softer and picked one with pork floss, cheese and red beans. Even so, eating it was still hard. Just swallowing it down made me feel like I’d done something great. Probably my body was making up for it—I’ve been craving something sweet these days. Luckily, with the bread and milk tea, I finally comforted my poor self a little bit～
