Okay, day 2 of having my wisdom teeth out.
I’m terrified of surgical procedures of any kind (unlike my mom, who requests if she can watch them perform surgery on her), so I opted to go for half-body anesthesia so that it knocks me out and by the time the dentist is done, I wouldn’t have felt a thing.
It all went pretty well. I thought waking up from the drugs would be a lot worst (the last time they put me under for a surgery, I woke up and felt like barfing), but it wasn’t. And that was it. All 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled out.
Of course, there comes the aftermath. The first day was alright. It hurt a bit, but it was bearable. I can’t believe how much I miss chewing on foods. I ate only soft foods, and my meals consisted of congee and mashed potatoes. And even then, I realize I used to semi-chew through these foods too instead of letting it go straight down my throat.
During the night, that’s when it really sucked. I guess my painkillers wore off mid-night, and then I woke up about 20 times— no lies. Every time, I’d have to swallow my saliva but it was the most painful thing in the world. In the morning, when I woke up to rinse my mouth, I realize I’ve been swallowing blood this whole time. I hate this.
Now to tackle day 2… I predict plenty of ice packs, and actually taking all my painkillers today. Scumbag wisdom teeth.

I had all four pulled, cost me a bundle but I wanted it gooooone!
Yeah, me too. I want to get it over with all at once…but man..eating is so terrible. 😦 And there’s just..more blood than I had anticipated lol
I thought I wanted to be put to sleep during my surgery but the mouth numbing drugs were good enough. I didn’t feel anything. I still have my extracted wisdom teeth as souvenirs.
I also have my teeth as souvenirs! I think that’s my favourite part of this whole thing. Everything else sucks.
Hearing the drilling and cutting would probably make me have a panic attack!
I dunno…I think I’m pretty terrified of the sounds that comes along with the surgery
Haha…ya, being conscious during the whole ordeal is kind of spooky. It makes me feel alive though..lol.
Haha you’ve got messed up ways to feel alive XD
When there is no pleasure I will settle for pain…lol
I know your pain, I just had it ‘activated’ for the second time in past month 😦
Ahhhh!!! How do you deal?!
