Yesterday the tooth that has been bothering me for YEARS since a dentist put in a root canal that extended into my bone - started killing me. I have a high pain tolerance but this was over the top, and it turned out this morning that I have another infection, and the dentist says the root canal is now in my sinus cavity. He could not pull it because of that. Yeah, I'll need an oral surgeon, but I'm saving my pennies for that. In the meantime, I'm now on antibiotics to get the infection/pain down.
That being said, I don't want to be munching meats or peanuts or my usual fare. So the little carb-monster that lives in my head and talks to me incessantly came up with a GREAT IDEA. Why don't I take a vacation from this WOE to eat some soft foods like oatmeal or bread or ice cream..... DO YOU SEE WHAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH? Do carb-monsters live in YOUR head? It was maddening!!!! Especially going to the pharmacy in the GROCERY STORE
where the carb-monster helpfully pointed out the carbalicious dips, soups, even suggested MILK which would be oh-so-easy to swallow and I could get protein that way.
Well, I got out of there with nothing worse than a container of Splenda-sweetened yogurt (Publix brand, 19 g net carbs) and some Dreamfields pasta which has pushed me out of ketosis in the past. Maybe with some ground meat it won't do that....
Anyone have any better suggestions while I'm in agony? I won't take the Lortab he prescribed, so ibuprofen will have to work. Which it's doing a sorry job of.
Ouch.
