i was super excited to get my wisdom teeth out. it is the first step of my complete mouth transformation. second step would be braces... but we will get there when we get there.
i literally remember nothing of the surgery. they sat me down, asked me about the scar on my arm as they put the IV in. i said it was from my cat and and i have 2 cats. the dentist then said, oh you dont like dogs? i said, i like dogs too, i have a pomeranian. he said thats a cat in a dog's coat. haha. then he started giving me anesthesia shots in my mouth. thats the last thing i remember.
when i woke up, i was in the same chair and the same position (or so i think). i had no idea how much time has passed. i tried to get up but i was extremely dizzy. so i ended up on the floor. the assistants had to help me walk to a resting area and put me in a bed.
anyways. the recovery period is so horrible. it was fine with i was still under anesthesia. not much pain, just uncomfortable. but as anesthesia and sedation faded, i experience extreme nausea and soreness and pain. oh so much pain. so much blood too.
the second day is probably worse than first day. my cheeks were twice the size, there is still some bleeding. and oh the pain... i have never taken so much strong pain pills in my life. hydrocodon-acetaminophen 10 - 500. thats some serious pain killers. thanks to these goodies, i slept most of day friday and saturday.
damn it, its been 3 days and all ive had is rice soup and mash potatoes. mcdonalds is having their limited time mcribs. why?! why now!? i looove mcribs!! but i cant even open my mouth because my cheeks are extremely swollen and my jaw is so sore!!! and, im so sick of the taste of blood. my lower left extraction site keeps bleeding. its not sever enough to call the dentist, but is is definitely enough for me to taste it. constantly.
my cheeks are still super swollen. i have to go to work tomorrow. bummer. have to go back to the dentist on friday for a follow up. sigh... im kinda scared to get braces now. because i need to get 2 (possibly 4) more teeth pulled.

I don't know why but I love the way you story tell XD. There's something so whimsical about it...I'm not sure if you mean to though XD
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the other extractions...they really aren't that serious in comparison to wisdom teeth since they aren't still under your gums. I remember for my molars they didn't even put me to sleep. Actually, they didn't even numb me all the way so I could kind of feel everything they were doing...but it really can't be as bad as what you're going through now!
I really hope you're feeling better and will be fine by the time you go to work...*kisskiss*
ReplyDeletewhimsical? i just think is poorly written, without much thought. hahaha.
