#frenectomy

The worst thing happened today

I had my wisdom teeth taken out

And a frenectomy

So after the surgery

My mom told me not to exert my tongue too much

So you know what loopy, under-the-influence, gay as fuck, planning-to-have-sex-in-college me said?

"So no eating pussy?"

I SAID THAT.

TO MY MOTHER.

Seriously, the tongue tie revision cut or whatever you want to call it took less than a minute. While Camden wasn’t a fan of it or the suctioning, we’re home and she’s already feeding so much better!

She immediately latched on well but my milk came in too fast lol pumped a couple of minutes, she went back on and worked hard, did the second and even drank what I pumped 40mL) but out of a bottle cause I’m tired.

Let’s hope the healing goes quick and we’re on our way to great adventures!

Mom sent me this photo after her frenectomy today. She has gauze and whatnot stuffed under her lip. The doctor said she would recover quickly, but Mom said the pain was way more than she anticipated and she had to take it easy for a bit. Luckily Yiayia was free and came to help out.
