Had a tooth extracted yesterday afternoon. Woke up around 5 am, took Apo-Keterolac for pain and swelling, Amoxicillin to fight infection, Tylenol 3.
Went into kitchen and put water on to boil.
Woke up having collapsed in a heap on the kitchen floor. Turned off stove and went back to bed for a while, sweating and shivering. Got up again. Really thirsty so drank some water.
Supposed to avoid solid food, hot liquids etc. Made smoothie like yesterday morning’s PWD. Banana, water, ice, a bit of coffee. Drank it down. 10 minutes later got to the bathroom in time to throw it all up. Don’t know which drug made me sick or if it was due to taking the drugs on an empty stomach but that was really bad.
Went back to bed, sweated some more. Got up again around 8 am. Dizzy, nauseous. Back to bed. Maybe I can get to work for 10:00 am. Nope, stood up and was still dizzy. Tried again for noon. Tnen 2:00 pm. Have to eat something, so had a bite of a banana, waited. Seemed okay so I finished it off, ate another, tried working from home but still feeling dizzy, nauseous and shaky.
Had read about Dr. Graham’s 811 raw vegan diet and being on Banana Island. Had not planned on going there but will give it a try for a day.


Was advised to “avoid strenuous actiivities” for 48 hours. That’s okay, I could use a couple of days to recover from the surgery - and from training. That will give me a little over 5 weeks left to train, which should be enough time to get both the 400 meter swim and 2.5 km run under 15 minutes each.
