(no subject)
I've heard some horror stories involving the removal of wisdom teeth (how about the breaking of the jaw?). So obviously when mine started coming in in high school, I was petrified that I would be next. It was only this year my dentist of 15 years told me the time has come. I was only filled with a sort of half dread. The oral surgeon he sent me to was a cool guy. Very soothing, very thorough, pretty cute, but seemed more interested in talking about the Crocs we were both wearing.
That was a couple of months ago I guess, and after postponing it twice due to conflicts at work (mostly, haah) I went under the knife today. I had all four taken out. It was also my first time knocked out. Never been hooked up to an IV before either. I felt peaceful and easily amused as I slipped under. You can tell they have reasons for everything. I wanted to laugh about the format of the event. The last thing I remember is discussing Oasis with one of the nurses. I was hoping I would have weird, drug-induced dreams, but it was much nothingness. I awakened in another room. No idea how I got there. Apparently I walked with peeps on either side of me.
So anyway, if you haven't had yours out yet, I just wanna let you know it's really not all bad. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones, cos my swelling was very minimal. I've barely talked all day, just cos I don't feel like it. Laughing was a struggle, and my family thought I was crying instead. I am quite jaundiced and I am having to spit blood in a cup every five minutes or so, and I've got a bit of gauze to help compress the tissue. I may bruise eventually, and I'm feeling a little sore right now, but I will be looking forward to having another 5 days off to be lazy and rent videos. And eating an excess of Jello. I haven't eaten a morsel all day, but I'm suddenly craving sour cream and onion Pringles.
I should get to bed now though. Depending on how I feel tomorrow, I could get an interview with HMV ;)
