Not as wise as last night

Aug 28, 2012 12:39

I have an entire extra set of wisdom teeth. I'd gotten the first lot removed about 8 years ago, all four at once. Of my new set, only one actually descended and was bothering me a bit, so I went in for another extraction ( Read more... )

quick update, health

Demand milk of amnesia (general anesthesia) I took Mr. Dolphin in yesterday to have the last of his teeth extracted, (he gets very, very anxious when it comes to dentist. He had a terrible experience with one, they filled his tooth WITH OUT Novocaine then when Mr.Dolphin refused to let him do more the dentist told him that he was uncooperative. Ya think?) So he was knocked out, the rest of the offending teeth are now gone. Of course he tried to tell me that he could drive home, (I don't think so) He's on the soft diet for the next little while too, but at least he's not in pain now.

I'm ok now. Slept for a good 3 hours once I got home. It's that waiting time that gets to me.

Now the worst bit is no solids for a couple of days :(

Haha! I ended up on the floor while they were waiting for me to come off the anesthesia. My sister bawled her eyes out over seeing double when she got hers removed.

You sound much braver than I was! When I had two wisdom teeth out two years ago, they wanted to charge $500 for general anaesthesia and $250 for "twilight," so I opted for free local anaesthetic for the extraction. The shots hurt (I cried a bit), but I didn't flail when they went in with the pliers :D
Keep chomping that gauze and have some ice cream/popsicles!

I'm usually really good about procedures and such. I get curious about them so I get distracted. But lately waiting has amped up anxiety level. That and listening to the drill as other patients got their procedures done.

I picked out a few different flavors of the mini-tubs of ice cream. Happiness! :D

You poor thing, you have had such a hectic week! If I were you, I'd curl up and go to sleep somewhere. Feel better, Desigrl!

I took a nice long nap earlier today and I've been lazing around since then :D
