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
