So, I had my three wisdom teeth removed, and it took almost 2 and a half hours because -- apparently -- I have "very strong, healthy teeth." Good for me, but bad for Dr Guan and his lovely assistant as they spent over half an hour trying to drill out each tooth. Haha. Urgh. On my last one, I started getting some feeling back and it was quite uncomfortable -- I could feel the vibration from the drill and it wasn't painful or anything, just really annoying. Luckily, I was able to say something (well, I mimed it out as best I could) and they immediately gave me another shot of whatever that was. ^o^;;
It's a really weird experience to have your lower jaw completely numb. I looked at myself in the mirror and realized that I had no control over my lower lip, and that I'd kept sucking it into my mouth so I looked really silly. ^o^;; It was pretty cool, though. Like touching someone else's face. Weird.
I'm not so much bothered by my mouth at all, though. It was tough the first day because I felt like crap and there was a lot of blood and etc, but it is due to my SHIT LUCK that my eyebrow piercing has gotten worse and now I'm dealing with my swollen face AND swollen right now. I look like a boxer. I don't care so much about my swollen jaw but my eye looks totally fucked up. I'd take a photo and show you guys but I don't want to disgust you. Luckily, it's starting to go down, but I've got class on Tuesday and although I want nothing more than to skip until my eye goes back to normal, I know that our final exams are on that day and skipping is not an option.
It's almost the same as what happened during the summer -- my eyebrow's all gross and drippy and crunchy, but I've managed to isolate it to my eyebrow and I've got it under control. Sadly, that alone doesn't make it any easier to deal with.
2009 is seriously NOT my year. *hangs head*
