i can't talk much because my cheek hurts. it's starting to swell :(
grabe!!!
if only i could post my wisdom tooth here, kaso loser camera yung nasa celphone.
i have loads of capsules to take, the dentist says i should take it easy. no chores for me :D
here's how my morning goes, i woke up 8am, took my breakfast so i could take Amoxicillin and Hemostan. then, we went to the clinic by 10 am. we waited for a couple of minutes because there was a patient before us. after him, i took my seat.
i saw the xray that they took a year ago, doc decided to take a more recent one so he could see if there are changes on the position of my tooth. dikit na dikit na siya sa isa kong molar. even i wonder on how the hell is he going to pull it without having contact on the molar beside it.
first, i was aked to gargle a solution of water and betadine for 30 secs, then he applied some stuff on the area where my 3rd molar is. after a few seconds i felt slightly numb. then, he injected the anesthesia couple of times on the same area. nagmistulang pin cushion ang gums ko :| after a few seconds, there was an intense numbing on my left cheek, my tongue can't move that time. when i was asked to gargle again, i can't make the lobo face we usually do when we gargle, instead . . . when i took the solution and tried to gargle it, it somehow leaked on the left end of my lip :)) major numbing, that's what my dentist did. (my dentist tried to hide the syringe first, so as not to freak me out i guess. old school, im actually used to that, his wife does the same when i went to her when i was 7 years old . . . the time that i used to cry a lot so the dentist wouldn't pull my tooth :| )
after that, he used the tool that has a hook on the other end . . . the one also used for cleaning and getting rid of stuck particles between teeth. then i saw a chisel (wah!) a mini chisel! i think he used it to make a gap between the two compacted teeth. afterwhich . . . he used the tool used when you have your tooth filled (pasta) the annoying, screeching sound that it makes . . . and the disturbing sensation you feel when it gets contact with your tooth . . . he used that for 3 minutes!!!!!! imagine the pain i felt!!! after using that, he held a piece of my tooth and put it on the moving desk that dentist have. he asked his secretary for a gauze . . . BLOODUH!!!! THERE WAS BLOODUH!!! Then he used the chisel again, 2 kinds of chisels with different sizes, i called it "chisel" because it looked like one, it also resembles a screwdriver :| he kept on . . . i dunno what he did with it . . . it took him arm power to have my tooth loosen its hold into my gums. one slide . . . second slide of the chisel . . . BLOODUH!!!!!! he asked me to gargle again . . . then there's BLOODUH!!!!!! back to the chisel slide . . . one . . . two . . . change chisel . . . one . . . two . . ayon!!!!!! natanggal! and there was BLOODUH!!!!!!!!!
finally, it's over . . he stitched my gums and it's done. then i asked for my tooth. it's not that huge! the one in my xray was uber huge, exaggerated :|
we bought 17 caps of Amoxicillin that i have to take on time, we bought ice cream for me . . . thinking that i can't eat anything solid for 24 hours.
after taking my meds because my cheek was starting to swell . . . i sleep it off with an ice pack on my cheek and a towel for my drooling.
i felt better when i woke up. Bianca and Kathleene were here handing me the invitation for Bianca's wedding. :D i asked her about her gown, she wouldn't give us a clue :| purple is her theme, her gown was all white . . . a hint :D so she's wondering if she could put on something purple too. she already have "something blue and something borrowed" "something old" is still pending. sabi namin panty, yung wala nang garter :))
i ate some cake and carbonara a while ago, i can't open my mouth nor chew . . .crap. the area on my left jaw is starting to swell too. wah!!!!
