Pain.

Jan 19, 2007 18:10

In my life I've had...

- three eye operations.
- ten stictches from having my knee cut open to the bone
- a minor concution(sp?) from smacking my head very hard into a lineoleum floor.
- a wasp bite
- have had chronic major migraines since i was six years old
- more mosquito bites than you can imagine, causing massive swelling and pain
- put my finger in an electrical socket when i was young
- been pushed and slapped numerous times.
- had a plastic pole hit my in the eye (luckily causing no damage)
- been headbutted in the nose hard enough it broke the cartilidge
- had the cartilidge "reset" by slamming my nose into the top of a car door.
- would ritualistically cut my arm with a razorblade to get intouch with my 'higher powers'

now of all these things, i can say honestly that the most painful experience i've had was just today. (physically speaking, of course. emotional damage would be a whole other thing.)

I had two of my wisdom teeth removed.
it's been about five hours. the freezing is mostly warn off. i've taken 3 advil and 1 T3. i think that's the only thing keeping me able to think. I've yet to take the antiobiotics because the bleeding hasn't slowed down enough yet that i feel comfortable in taking out the gaws (which ive changed every 20-minutes or so) and i need to eat right afterwards.... something i'm not looking forward to doing.

so a note to everyone: it's not the *actual* procedure that's painful, it's the aftereffects.

Not enough people BOTHER telling you what those really are. even the dentists try to play it down.

so to the dentist: FUCK YOU, this is the most painful moment of my life.

But on the upside, I have my wisdom teeth in a cute little container. (HUGE FUCKERS.)

And a graphic moment for all you sicko's out there, whom I'm sure WANT to know this: It hurts to swallow, so I'm spitting all the blood into a old (and cleaned out, thankfully) large sour cream container. classy, yeah?

and, of course, i can't fucking smoke right now.

my kingdom for a cigarette. *twitch*

musings, pain
