i just got home from getting all four of my wisdom teeth out. i didn't expect to be doing that today but one of them started hurting so bad yesterday that it had me in tears. i was really dreading getting them taken out but i have to say it was actually fun. i was crying with fear and mad because i could not see trees or sky, which are pretty much the only things that can calm me down when i'm scared of sterile human inventions like hospital rooms and dentist chairs. then at the last minute they moved me into a room with a window! and i could see the clouds and trees and i felt a lot better. then the demoral drip pretty much rocked world. now here i am with a mouthful of gauze. i have big plans for a lot of vicodin and mushy foods for the next few days. and lots of movie watching.

Aw, that's lame! I still haven't gotten mine out but they keep playing peek-a-boo every once in a while. They come out a bit and tear my gums all to hell, then they go back down for 6 months or so. Then they're back again but just the very tips of them come up so.....okay, okay, okay...I'm putting off getting them out. I've seen what that does to people though! Do you look like a chipmunk? I had a friend in highschool come to school one day and it looked like she had been jumped! So I second the ice notion. None of us want your pretty face to get bruised.

It scares me that, even in California, the medical profession does not generally acknowledge a patient's well-being. Was this at a dentist's office or an oral surgeon's?
