Had my Wisdom tooth extracted. Was an interesting process. Went for a check afew weeks back, nevertheless had to RE CONFIRM the price. What if she charged $500++ tis time!? heh. So it was settled at $200+. Made it clear that i only have $250 at hand, lest she charged extorbitant rates.

Next she poked and fiddled with my tooth (damn i hate it), gave me painkillers, anti biotics, and anti-swell tabs even before the process started. Next, she took out a LONGGGG injector and Jabbed me with it. 4 Pokes in total. Was never terrified of jabs, but it seems like penetration of needle was incredibly deep. Next came Xray, with the doc putting a reflector(is that what u call it) in my mouth. Not too bad, im starting to slur and not feel a thing on my right..

"OH! your root is curved!"... uh-oh. bad news. does it mean it's gona be painful!? She isnt gona increase the price.. is she!?

"Do u feel anything!?" she probed as she poked all she wanted. "er... abit!?" that earned me 3 more jabs! well, better the jab than feeling someone cut the insides of u up. right!?

And so it started. Helpless val at the mercy of the doc and her nurse. Nurse holding on to a suction tube to suck out whatever blood that may overflow. Doc holding on to he scapel and drill. (ok, i know the tool names i've given are really superficial, no idea what it REALLY is called, the function's there anyway.. :S)..

Doc wore a mask, something like... people wear when they're doin welding?? i Stared hard, and realized.. HolY shiT!!! i can see the reflection!!!!! i juz needed to stare straight ahead, and i'd be able to see the insides of my mouth, and what she's doing to it. I had the option to close my eyes. But the nurse was goin "relax.. relax"... i aint gona squeeze my eyes shut and let her know i'm afraid tho i dont feel anything. The only time squeeze my eyes shut with tears in em, is when i'm havin a facial cuz it hurts like hell! hah..

So she Cut my gums, Drilled god knows what (prolly my bone), and cut some more. Next she pulled. Couldnt feel a thing the whole time but the process of witnessing it all was petrifying. When the tooth couldnt come out, the nurse held on to my jaw, and she PULLED somemore!. tough tooth of mine. some curvey roots, so it got me more sliced up furthur. ALAS!!! it came out! it was a whole tooth!!!

By then, i was already tasting blood. no. was gagging blood, the sucker *i mean suction* didnt quite help tis time. She sewed me up. amazing. Always thought they used needles?? heh. was somewhat like a fishing hook, Workmanship's not too bad i hope!?!? baHh.. no one can see them aniway.. She took quite sometime stitching me up, and i was really tired after that. the anxiety and all..

Chewed on gauze, Paid up, Got 5 Days of MC, grabbed my med, and drove home. Changed gauze frequently cuz its filled with saliva and blood. The blood sorta thinned after 4 hours, but there was still bleeding even after 16 hours!!! As of now, it's 36 hours after my extraction, and any sudden movement, or food that gets there would induce another bleeding session. SigHh.. Someone asked, 'are u feeling faint because of the lack of blood'??? "NaHh.. unlikely, i swallow them anyway" duhhhh.. hahahaha..

Developed a fever, bad headache and sorethroat shortly after. Well, Now the fever's on and off, headache persists and sorethroat is soothed by H20. 18 hours after the extraction, my face swelled to an all time high!!!... WHY!!!?!?!?!?!?! no way am i leaving my house this time..

Some pix at the bottom. For the weak hearted (e.g. prisc) stop when i give the warning yea!? haha..

Times as such, i really do wish that there was someone to hold on to, give me assuring hugs, making porridge for me, tellin me its ok, and that i dont look that hedious. Eric would have. Would. that's the word.. Speakin of which.. i msged him, askin if he needed a lift frm camp. argH. how dumb of me. well, it was quite a blessing that he didnt agree. or i'd b in a dilemna. should i just meet him risk letting him see my hedious look, just forget the whole thing!? at the point of msging, i didnt consider that tho.. it was 5am.. Useless me even called him. argh. didnt regret it nevertheless. Its been a long time since i've heard his voice. Really long... really really really long..

=enough of depressing stuff= i've got enough complains already.

DISCLAIMER: The pix are not entirely guresome, but it contains some blood. definately not for the weak hearted. Approx 4 pix only, so Stop scrolling if u dont intend to see pix.
