less wise?

Yesterday i got my wisdom teeth out. What an experience! I went in with an open mind and not too nervous but when i sat in the chair and the assistant passed me the glasses i felt shakey, i wanted to hold my mums hand but i didnt want her to know i was scared. He talked me through what was going to happen however that didnt calm the nerves.

6 needles, two for each tooth. Others had said these kind of needles were the worst but i didnt find them too bad. My whole jaw was numb, my lower lip and chin felt 75x's their usual size, i felt like an alien.

He started with the lower right, the one he thought would be the hardest. I couldn't feel a thing, apart from pressure which i was told was normal. Next thing i knew i was chocking on something. That something turned out to be my tooth. I sat up and spat it out laughing about it as was everyone in the room. I layed back down feeling less anxious this time. He then said, "Yes, this one will definitely need some stitches". I smiled with excitement as i had never needed stitches before.

The next to go was the lower left. This one also came out quite easily. So easily that it flew out of my mouth and onto the floor, along with a fair bit of blood. Some more laughs were had and the tooth was picked up.

Last but not least was the top left. This one proved to be one tough tooth! It didnt want to budge, out of all three this one took the longest. It eventually came out but no cool stuff this time, the assistant just caught it.

You're probably wondering what happened with the other one? Well the dentist said because it wasn't causing any drama it would be fine to leave.

Yesterday was pretty miserable, beautiful weather and i stayed inside and watched movies. I wasn't allowed to rinse my mouth out just yet so i tasted pretty gross. All i ate all day was about two mouthfuls of ice cream that shaye bought when she visited and even that hurt.

Today im not feeling too bad. All my teeth hurt, my cheeks are swallon and one of my stitches is digging into my swallon cheek but ive had worse pain before. Im feeling very hungry but am not game to try any food just yet. Instead ill sip on my water bottle through my straw. Might even lay in the sun for a while.

Fingers crossed i can play for some of the grand final tomorrow night.
