extraction
"Hmmm...that's never happened before...." Not exactly something you want to hear as your dentist pulls the drill away from your wisdom tooth being removed. "How did that happen?" asked the nurse. "Maybe I bumped into a switch or something." suggested the dentist. I began smelling the most horrible burning smell I've ever smelled in my life and I noticed little particles of tooth floating around in front of the really bright light. It was no big deal, apparently the drill wasn't squirting waterlike it's supposed to. "It's probably the patient's fault." The dentist joked revealing his sense of humor. After the first two were removed they waited about a half hour until the bleeding was under control so they could start the other side. In the meantime I got to lay there watching MTV trying to make sure I didn't bite my tongue off due to lack of feeling in my mouth. The next two came out even easier and there was no pain at all. I was given a prescription for vicoden and was warned to take them before the novacaine wore off. I waited for my mom to come get me as the precious minutes slipped by after the extraction. Finally she pulled up and payed the extra charge and was given the prescription and yadda yadda yadda...time was slipping by...we drove to CVS in blue point. On the way there Matt called me and I told him maybe we could "go see hawwy pottew latew on." He mocked me and asked me if I had seen "shwek twoo." I was laughing really hard and had to hang up. We got to the pharmacy and were told we would have to wait 20-30 minutes for them to fill it. I walked around CVS nervously until I realized I had to replace the gauze because it had been well over a half hour. It was really gross and bloody but the worst part is the Novacaine started to wear off just as I replaced it and I started feeling extreme pain. I was shaking and trying to relax all the way home and had to use a straw to drink the water to swallow the Vicoden when I got home. The pain lingered for a while but slowly dulled after I took the pills. I bled all night and actually ran out of gauze around midnight and tried to fall asleep sitting up to slow the bleeding. I woke up from a semi sleep at 4am in really bad pain and took to more pills which finally knocked me out. This morning I woke up with a mouth full of dried blood which was really gross. All in all, it's a shitty experience, but the pain isn't that intense. I found my wallet too, so things are looking up.
