Attacked by an Eagle While Rock Climbing on the Moon
My face has gained a good twenty pounds in the last three days. I look like a goldfish, chipmunk, hippo.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE PAIN.
I went in to the dentists office worried only about whether or not the surgeon/dentist would be able to administer the IV correctly. I really should have been more worried about the impending anesthesia and ripping out of my teeth.
Getting knocked out was kind of fun, though. He inserted the IV quickly and cleanly and then the colors of the room started to melt together and tilt. I can't remember much after that. I woke up nearly an hour later crying and wailing that MY MANDIBLE HURTS AND MY FACE AND TEETH AND OMG.
The nurses felt terrible and started trying to make me feel better while the dentist/surgeon gave me two more shots in the gums and one really painful one in the arm. I sort of calmed down after that, but I was still massively whacked out from all the drugs.
I get home, I go to sleep. I wake up the next morning and my face is twice as big as before.
You have to understand how weird this looks. I have a tiny face, normally. A tiny nose, small lips, huuuge eyes. So when my face exploded, all you could see was my eyes.
That was bad, but yesterday was waaay worse. I woke up early because I was in a lot of pain, looked in the mirror and nearly died. My cheeks somehow managed to get bigger and I was bruising. I have two black eyes, a black jawline, and purple spots all along my cheeks.
PFFFFFF. Also. Stitches suuuuck.
