Wisdom Flies Away~~~~

I have never been in so much physical pain before.

I had my wisdom teeth pulled out on Tuesday afternoon, and it was theeeeee most painful experience in my life. The doctor suggested I pull two that are on the same side out first , but mom and I decided to pull all four out to be quick.

It was ok at first, even though the anesthesia injections were pretty painful. Three of the wisdom teeth came out pretty smoothly, but the fourth one, on the bottom, its body broke off with its root when it came out. It broke off because the body and the root was at a 90 degree angle. So the doctor had to dig the tiny tiny root out. The digging itself was ok too, but this part took more than an hour so, so halfway through my other side started to throb, and the doctor injected more anesthesia. Then there was a point where I had to go to the restroom really,really bad and pulled my legs up, but the doctor and the nurse told me to put them down><. So I started twisting my hands, and the doctor asked if I was in pain, and I said I needed to go. He's a really nice doctor, and of course he let me. He stuffed some cotton balls into my mouth, but I still dripped blood along the way. I got back into the seat and he continued. There was a point where there was a shock of pain it jolted tears out of me. But that's not all. The nurse was not very gentle nor thoughtful. They had a couple of instuments hanging out of the corner of my mouth---I think salt water came out to wash away the blood, and the nurse used it to pull my mouth wider to let the doctor see better. But she pulls REALLY hard. I felt like the corner of my lip was being torn. Plus the metal kept rubbing against me too. At times it was more painful than the surgery itself. But the doctor was nice all the way. He was very patient, and nice-looking too. :P The poor doctor had a serious cold, and he coughed a lot. In the end, he wiped away the caked blood on my face. The nurse handed me a cold pack---it was a surgery glove filled with iced water. :) It was so cute.

So I was in at 4 o'clock and out at 6. It took a lot longer than the doctor expected. But the worst was when the drug subsided, and both my cheeks were bursting with pain. It hurt to swallow, and I could barely talk. I cried for an hour. Weak weak weak. I managed to get a few bites of pudding then took the medicine.

Thank god for the medicine.:P

Once in a lifetime ride~

Hehe....another 3 months has gone by^^" I've been pretty lazy....but some interesting things have finally happened.



One evening, on the second day of June, dad asked us if we wanted to go anywhere. I suggested Beipu. And so we went. It was 6 o'clock by the time we got there, and after strolling around we went to the parking lot to get our car. We got in the car at exactly 7 o'clock, and dad tried to unlock the gear.

It wouldn't.

Dad fiddled and faddled with it for more than an hour while mom called for help. After some twists and turns and waiting, a tow truck finally came. They hooked the hooks onto the wheels, and lifted the car onto the truck. And after a moment of hesitation, they said we could sit in our car while they drove us to the auto company, the one next to MacDonald's. Ha! Boy! I could hardly wait to get in. Imagine sitting in your car that's on a tow truck! According to their rules we're not supposed to, but we had no other way of getting home so they made an exception. And we had to pick up my brother too (he was at cram school--too bad he missed out on the ride). Anyway, it was such a fun ride: kind of bumpy, kind of afraid the car might fall off, and at the same time feeling very very pleased because you're on top of the world--well, at least higher than most of the cars. So there we were, riding in our car with our gear stuck and speeding along the highway~~ It was like a ride in the amusement park.

When we got there, we couldn't get off right away (which was perfectly fine with me:)). The truck parked besdie the road, and they had no way to lift it off there because of the height of the building. While the tow truck people and the auto people tried to figure out the best solution, a couple of the auto people looked at the gear lock. Finally, a middle-aged guy found a tool box and proceeded to unscrew the lock of our gear.

Whew! Saved our lives.

The tow truck backed into the auto garage and gently let our car roll off. We were still in the car, but mom had stepped out. She recorded this part, but I have no idea how to upload it onto my blog.

So ended our exciting ride, and dad drove home shifting gears with a metal stick, without a knob.

P.S. If anyone knows how to upload a video, please teach me:)
