Y'know, normally having good roots is, y'know, a good thing.
As some of you may remember, I was going in today, to have all four wisdom teeth pulled.
And I did. They shot me up six times (maybe eight?). And I noticed that the left side hurt far worse than the right did, when he was numbing me. This confirms my suspicion that the infection that was trying to eat my jaw has killed nerve tissue on the right side.
So, there I am, lower jaw could be pulled completely off and I'm not sure I'd notice, really. (srsly.so.numb.)
The dentist, smart man that he is, starts on the left side.
He ends up having to stick me THREE MORE TIMES, and the upper was never fully numb (good to know I have such a crappy response to pain meds).
I have very long roots. A procedure that should've taken about an hour and a half for four teeth took an hour and a half for two. So, I am the lucky owner of a partially-removed quad of wisdom teeth. The ones on the left are gone (the ones that are probably the hardest given the lower right is in pieces).
I CANNOT TALK OUT LOUD. Do you know how frakking annoying this is? I usually spout random crap to myself, the cat, or Timey. And I CAN'T.
Mostly because I'm worried I'll bite myself. Also. Still bleeding, and thus, have gauze to bite on and shit. Plus, talking kind of hurts. Oh, and my jaw is going to ache like I tried to pull it off, I'm sure.
Dentist, I b'lieve, is highly worried about whether he can do the other side--he may refer me to an oral surgeon.
Also, I did not stop to buy Draino on the way home. Because I can FEEL the anesthetic wearing off, and I needed to take some good pain meds before it started hurting (dentist's orders).
I would like some Sam/Kara fic, pls.
Now I am... stuck being hungry (and anemic. Oi, what a time to have THAT happen as well) and the tingling in my cheeks says it's wearing off. ALSO. MY TONGUE IS NUMB. This makes swallowing odd.
eta: Not even 12 hours and I'm drugged. Also, anesthetic? Fucks with my heart rate. ARG.
eta2: Let it be known that 2 tylenol 3 on an empty stomach kick in after about 20 minutes. And empty stomach = bad. *shakes fist at self and carefully eats pudding*
