It's Time!!
I'm coming back, London!!
It's been a hard month away, but in only 2 more sleeps, I get to return to my beautiful home.
While everyone has started the patio season without me, I have been here in misery and pain after getting my wisdom teeth pulled out. Today is the first day I feel like a human being again. Before I was this horrible pile of hurt. Anyways, now it is possible to tell you all about it.
Let me just tell you...Getting my wisdom teeth out was the worst experience of my life.
To start, my mom took me to this Korean dentist in Toronto because he had taken one of her wisdom teeth out YEARS ago and said that he did a great job without any pain etc.
So, I go there. I ask to be put under because the thought of the cutting and the pulling just did NOT appeal to me. However, this dentist says that he doesn't do that. WHAT! are you kidding me??? Well, we drove 6 hours to do this so we can't just turn back. So I had to face the pain and just get it all over with.
The freezing process was by far the worst pain ever. It felt like a jackhammer repeatedly stabbing my gums. And he was not gentle AT ALL!!!
Then came the whole prodding at my impacted teeth, and the drilling sounds and the horrible pressure of yanking at the tooth...
Then when it was allllll over, the only thing he prescribes me is Tylenol 2!!! WHAT! I'm in a serious load of pain and that's ALL you are giving me? What happened to Percasets (spelling?) and Tylenol 3s that I hear people getting after their wisdom teeth extractions!? Huh!?
Anyways, I was lucky enough not to have bruising but I did swell up, and I'm still unable to eat solid foods.
After this, I will not want any soup for a looooooooooong time.

awwwwe *hugs*
at least it's all over now!
and back to london, yay !!
I don't know if this will make you feel better, or vicariously worse for reading it. Buuuut... When I had my four wisdom teeth out, it was at the same time as what my dentist called "an unprecedented case in all his years". I had a full-sized molar growing upside down, embedded in my jawbone just beneath my canine and first bicuspid.
The how and why it was there is a long story, but suffice to say it took a lot of drills, knives, and blood to get that out, along with the four wisdom teeth which, by comparison, were a pleasure to have pulled.
You'll be right as rain in no time -- hope you feel better soon! And I miss London already :( Patio season is so much more fun there than in this wretched bedtown. *pouts*
wisdom teath.... yeak!
