Life's Whirlwind Adventures

So yesterday's procedure went well. I think there are a lot of horror stories out that about having teeth pulled but mine went fine.  There was some  discomfort, and a gross taste in my mouth, I could feel pressure as he was digging the teeth out, but that was it.  That was it for the actually procedure, now it comes for the recovery. I don't think the Ativn worked, I never felt "out of it" and I have not forgotten what happened yesterday.  I remember it all.  The only thing I can say for yesterday is that it seemed to pass by very quickly.  I couldn't believe when it was 9 pm last night, I didn't realize that most of the day had passed my by.  But I can still recall everything that I did so there is no amnesia. I woke up today and I wanted to cry.  My mouth hurts so much.  I can't fully open it, so I am using baby spoons to eat my yogurt.  The thought of chewing on food brings tears to my eyes.  My face is swollen and sore to t...

Well I made it to the dentist, and my dentist thinks he's a comedian.  I was pretty nervous so it was hard for me to laugh at his jokes.  They froze my entire mouth and then they got to work on taking out two teeth at t a time.  First they did the two on my left side, then they gave me a break.  They came back and took the two on my right side.  I have all four wisdom teeth now at home with me I want to show them to Chandler.  I have gauze in my mouth for the bleeding, they say I didn't bleed that much, but I am still with a piece of gauze in my mouth and it's been three hours since I left the dentist office. So far I have taken no pain medication, mostly because my mouth is so frozen i choke when I try to intake liquids.  I didn't mind the whole yanking and stuff it wasn't too bad, at least not what I had worked up in my head.  It's this recovery time that is going to suck.  I can already feel pain radiating in my jaw.  Once this free...

So after about ten years of waiting to have this procedure done I am finally having my wisdom teeth removed.  I was scheduled to have it done about ten years ago in Saskatchewan, at some office in the Midtown tower, but as I didn't have health insurance and it was going to cost more than my student budget would allow for I put it off.  They weren't really bothering me back then so it was no big deal. Then three weeks ago, they really started to hurt, the bottom two anyways.  So I made an appointment to have them removed and that brings us to today.  I am sitting here typing this waiting for the Ativan to kick in.  I am scared that it won't kick in and after the nightmares I had last night well let's just say it wasn't any fun waking up and then realizing that it was all in my head and I still had to go through the procedure. The first nightmare I had last night I dreamt I had taken the Ativan, placed it under my tongue and it would not dissolve, and you aren...
