jus came back from wisdom tooth extraction. target : left upper one(the 3rd Molar)

i made appointment very very long ago. way before the examination or even the study break. but it didnt help allievate all the pain that my brain was generating. y i choose this date? because i figured that i cant do my exams with all this forecasted pain hence i decided upon a date somewhere after the exams. since 1 week later, i will be having the 2nd meeting, of my involvment in the 29th Anniversary Sub-com, i decided to do have the pain asap. hence forth the date and stage is set on the 19th sept.

the appointment was set at 1000 in the morning. i was still anxiously looking for Joyce to accompany me to the clinic at around 0945 in the morning. y? because of my dear mummy again. she jus had to scare me into all the scary teeth extraction that she went through in childhood. all the thing about feeling swollen when the anesthetic is administered. just yesterday night, she specifically reminded me to stay at the clinic to rest a while if i wasnt feeling alright after the extraction. -.-
how did i grow fearless and timid at the same time?
answer : thanks to mummy's consistent bombarment of scary stuff.
anyway, she had something on. SO i had to brave it alone. arggh!!!!!!!

i left the house at around 0950+. thankful that the clinic was nearby, otherwise i might be panting throughout the whole extraction. when i reached, it was about 1005 and the doctor was late. phew~ not that i am complaining about her late lack of punctunality, but i enjoyed it. maybe it was the raining that was keeping her. i wished KATRINA would keep her away, but no luck.

i was at the SEAT at around 1010 and thanks to the wall clock that is directly situated in front of the SEAT, i was able to chart the whole progress. when i sat, i could feel my heart literally pumping. i swore, the whole seat was shaking, but was i shaking? dun know. i tried to calm myself, that its nothing. haha...wat a joke. as soon as she neared me, i pumped enuff blood to flood my brains. arrghhh~~ wat insanity.

the dentist was a very nice lady. she gave off a very motherly feeling, so each session with her was nice and pleasant. she doesnt look auntie if you had gotten the wrong feeling. btw, the raining had stopped. i guess the sky stopped crying.

throughout the next 5 min, till 1015, she administered the anesthetic course, WITHOUT my knowledge. WOW~~~ isnt she great. :) first she applied this pink yet translucent anesthetic gel on my gums. next she changed a few metal syringes. but there seems to be no feeling at all. actually, the numbness came right after the gel. it worked GOOD...till now my left side of the mouth still feels very very very tired.

then the next 5 min was the main highlight, the extraction. the most gratifying thing about the extraction was the use of something similar to a workshop piler. i didnt actually question her about it or clarify my doubt. however, watever tool she got in her hand, reminded me of the tool i used in the mechanical workshop. the extraction didnt hurt, but there was this tingling feeling, which i will try to explain.

ever tried to pull a tree out of the soil? yea? when you do, there is this whole bunch of snapping sound in the soil. although you know that the roots have snapped it is still kinda of hard to totally pull it out. haha...this is the whole extraction process. i heard alot this snapping sounds in my head. i am definitely sure that i didnt make these sounds up. i think these are the sound of the veins snapping. it wasnt exactly a clean pull, she did have to jerk left and right abit before it was totally out. guess wat...NO PAIN...yea~~~

i am feeling abit lost. guess its due to the lost of blood and might you, i did lose alot. now i am biting on the gauze that the dentist gave. she instructed to bite on it for at least an hour. i guess its to apply pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding. hehe...should be done biting on it at around 1130. she also instructed to take porridge for the next few days.

the next extraction, eta one month, 19 oct. snobs..sometime after my bday. wat a birthday. oh well, at least its all within the holidays, there wlnt be any inconvience propped.
