Today was the first day back at work after Easter and a day of additional recuperation after my wisdom tooth extraction. I felt terrible not being at work yesterday but I needed to manage the pain and be totally ready. This profession of mine isn’t the easiest to have time off from, but it was for the best.
To be honest, I’m around 80% well. I still have swelling in my jaw and I am very conscious of that. The pain has been less of an issue, although I still ache and I am still taking painkillers regularly to keep on top of that. I plan to see how I feel in the morning but have them close by just in case.
The reason for my 80% judgement of wellness is for the swelling, the aching and the tiredness. I didn’t even have a full day of teaching really as I take years 3 and 4 swimming on a Tueaday afternoon. I also didn’t have lots of marking to deal with either. And yet I still feel more drained than I would have expected.
I’m glad I didn’t have much marking as it is also Mrs Pitts’ birthday today.
Tomorrow is a much busier day. I hope I can assess myself at a higher percentage of tip-topperoo-ness thi time tomorrow.
