A diptych for two

Ten days ago I had my bottom two impacted wisdom teeth removed. It was a pretty painful experience. They ripped my gums open, yanked the teeth out, and stitched me back up. This part of the process I didn't feel a thing, thanks to the anaesthetic I was knocked out and in la-la land. It was the pain after that was awful. After ten whole days of living on mash and soup, yesterday I was finally able to eat my beloved croissants again. It felt good, real good. Aslong as this croissant-lover can eat some croissants, I'm okay. At one point I thought I wouldn't be able to bite or chew any food for a long long time. But like they say time heals everything. Well, maybe not everything. Most things? Some things? Ah.
