A trip to the Dentist...

Yesterday was the big day ! The day I would get my wisdom tooth removed, boy was I pretty...bored about it. Never really thought much about it till then. I admit I got a bit concerned once we go there with questions in my head like *how are they gonna remove THAT?!* But boy was I in for a nasty shock for it was not just removing a tooth...I would be removing 4 wisdom TEETH. Shocked would be an understatement. Now I started to get a bit worried...

It all began 2 years ago...one of my gums was really bad and I could hardly eat without wincing in pain. It was horrible and I must have had to hold on for a few days before we visited the dentist. It just kept getting worse and worse. Well, after treating the infection and releasing me from the paaaaaaiiin, she told me I had a wisdom tooth that was growing in the wrong place and had deep roots, I need a specialist, a dental surgeon. If not, it'll grow and this will happen again. Aight doc, I get the picture. Thus plans were made for this surgery since that day....

which was 2 years ago. Quite a delay eh ? I can explain ! See, my dad kinda likes to procrastinate these things, probably where I got bad habit of procrastination from. Before we go on, procrastination adalah melambatkan waktu bagi yang kurang faham. Contohya, Adam suka melambatkan waktu sembahyang dan akhirnya kena rotan oleh mak. Ah, like tat...See, unless it's absolutely important, it shall be procrastinated. No different with this one. Unless I absolutely needed it, like I was gonna die or lose a limb or worse my speech if i don't get it, only then will we react swiftly and at once ! Good news is, after 2 years we finally got an appointment..just in time for my next infection ! That was last Friday. Appointment was on Monday, yesterday.

So the place is really nice and had good feng shui, manyak ong...anyway there I was sitting down, and the doctor drops the bombshell and says we are going to remove 4 of ur teeth. I was like.........................oh............k............ before calmly calling my mom because I was absolutely out of my zone of comfort... deep down i was like WTF !!!!! Anyway, doctor told me I can't escape from this and before I get it while doing an important thing or getting shipped overseas etc better I do it now because escape is simply IMPOSSIBLE. It will happen ! Better remove them all now he says...oh...k I say and suddenly I started drinking 2 pills and got painful prick on my left hand..all this happened in a like second, too little time for my GET ME OUT OF HERE reflexes to kick in...suddenly my heartbeats started to get very low (they were monitoring my heart) only then I realised there was needle on the vein in my hand pumping something that was making me feel very lightheaded..i must be being put to sleep but I would fight it ! ....

Next thing I knew, they were almost at the end of the operation. I was knocked out for around an hour. 3 teeth had been removed and only 1 left...but I should have been asleep for the entire surgery. Turns out one of my teeth, like his master was a real stubborn one with deep roots, took the doc an extra 20 minutes to remove and so I woke up just in time for the doc to start on my last tooth...it was very painful and the sound of crunching of my tooth didn't help. I kept trying to gurgle...put me back to sleep pls.....but they could'nt understand and the doc who was ex-army probably saw the warrior spirit in me that I was too drugged to notice only noticed I was in pain towards the end =_=

But it's all over and I got to skip 2 days of classes, not a bad trade for 4 teeth..oooah ! Gums are pretty much swollen and still getting use to the stitches in my mouth, at the moment it all is a real biatch but I'll manage :) The tooth fairy failed to show up last night but I will not give up. Will try again tonight.

Cheers..
