so wisdom teeth surgery today.
i didnt eat anything since last night's dinner with colleagues, so they gave me half a cup of oats to eat before i took my antibiotics. then i went into the room and lay down on the dentist chair and was injected with anesthetic.. i recall asking the dentist some questions, looking around, and the next thing i know, im being woken up and having gauze taken out the sides of my mouth and new ones put in.
guess the general anaesthetic did its part cos i dont remember anything.
had to sit down and lean on my dad for 1/2hr in the clinic cos i was too groggy and sleepy to walk straight. fell asleep in the car, got home and rested awhile. my whole mouth was numb, couldnt feel anything. so i got a shock when i opened it and saw blood threatening to pour out -__-"
had to change the gauze twice before the wounds stopped bleeding. but it was fine, only hurt when i changed it the first time and even then, it was only for awhile and i didnt need to take painkillers. bleeding stopped after abt an hr. had 3/4 tub of large mashed potato from KFC for lunch/dinner. initially could open open my mouth a tiny bit but as i kept eating it got better.
basically now im fine, just tt my jaws are a little sore and swollen, i cant talk properly, and can only eat soft foods. not a bad deal i'd say. am glad to be rid of the teeth. i have one more to remove, but that one doesnt require surgery, it can be easily extracted and is not giving me any problems now.
so YAY to me and YAY to my dentist.
i scared myself silly for nothing.
removing stitches on thurs and not going back to work till fri so i shall enjoy my super extended weekend LOL ^_^
