It's August. Nothing new for me so far.
Unless you wanna hear me whine about my wisdom teeth acting up and up to this point, I got 3 out of 4 removed.
Here's a lesson to those who are 25 and younger. GET THEM DONE right away the moment you know you can. Cause you can heal really fast and you'll NEVER have to endure the pain I had to endure. FUCK, imagine some one pinching your nerves......a MAIN nerve.....that affects more than the spot....like parts of your jaw, cheek, and inner ears. Now imagine it happening for days, weeks, MONTHS. And the learning that there's a high chance it could be worst if you don't fix it.....could even lead to terrible infections that's life threatening.
Your roots for your wisdom teeth don't fully grow out and become long and strong till the middle of your 20's or later. So it's no surprise to the oral surgeon that I am 31 and only NOW I am having issues with roots fucking my main nerves.
Since I mention this, I am being made to "pull one out at a time." Meaning, pull one, heal, pull another one.
I had to some how convince my oral surgeon to remove both my upper wisdom teeth on the same session cause he says my uppers are actually the easiest to pull. And I guess it was since I had a tinny cut on my upper left just so he can get some ground on the tooth to yank it out. While my upper right didn't need to cut the gums. He just yanked that no problem. And no stitches. So it was an easy operation that healed up fast (thankfully).
Now my lower wisdom teeth, hell. I got my lower left done Friday before lunch. I got about 4 stitches and allot of jaw bone drilled just to get the damn tooth out. But it's done and over with.
Anyway, the younger you are, the more comfortable oral surgeons will be removing all four. They just want to make sure you'll heal well, and your wisdom teeth won't be so rooted in that it won't become an issue where there's a high chance the roots will damage your major nerve line in your jaw. They had to section mine allot, cause one it was impacted horizontally, but also cause my roots wrapped itself around the main nerve for my lower left (my upper left was pushing on the main nerve, but not wrapped around it, thankfully).
Ah well, I am close to 2 grand in bills, and I still have my lower right left to remove. Fun.
About it from me.
Oh, there's more going on in the back ground in my family about this whole issue. But I am just mentioning the gist of things on my end. I am going to be more broke than usual (I am so fucking tired of the rat race). But I'll figure something out. I will say this, it sounds like I have a plan B with some relatives. Which to be honest, having a plan B with your current plan A is better than NOTHING. So I am grateful. I am just hoping Plan B is still there when the time comes when I am going to have to use it (hopefully, if things work out, I won't have to).
