Make sure you don't use a straw or suck on anything anytime soon.  It can cause the colts to dislodge and then the healing has to start over again...

Get use to chewing closer to the front of your mouth for a while.  Nothing hurts more than a nacho chip being stabbed into where those teeth were.

A whole lot of rust and very little time to work on it...

I have to stay away from things like nuts and chips for a while. Definitely no straws. I have been sticking with the pudding, ice cream and smoothly diet. Feeling pretty good so far today. I'm surprised almost no swelling and almost no pain or discomfort at this point.

All is well. I had some cold spaghetti for dinner. Took me 45 minutes to eat it (getting use to eating with my front teeth and trying to keep the food away from the extraction points). Other than that no real problems.
