Training Interrupted

Well, I'm out for a bit. I had my two lower wisdom teeth removed early Friday morning. Here it is Sunday, and I'm getting more swollen every day. I was SURE that I wouldn't swell up this bad. This was something I'd been avoiding for more than a decade and had I known, I still might not have done it. Both were severely impacted, laying horizontally in my jaw and pushing up and under the molars in front of them. I don't even want to know what they had to do to get them out. It had to be done though. Those teeth had threatened to interrupt training in the past and I just couldn't have that this year. So, I decided to get them yanked when they'd have the least impact on my season. I don't know when I'll get back on track. Swimming seems out of the question, running like all bouncing cheeks and pain, and cycling like just a bad idea given the chance of crashing. In fact, I'm worried about exerting myself at all for fear that something will burst! Oh well, maybe I'll lose some of the off-season weight gain.
