Yes, it’s been a while. My disclaimer at the beginning said I wasn’t good at blogs, so deal. ;)
This is Day 6 of the gaping holes in my mouth that used to house my wisdom teeth. It’s not at all what I expected it to be. I figured ‘hey, I’ve lost baby teeth before, it’ll be easy!’ It’s nothing like that at all! These sockets never close up. Ever. I’m going to have four more holes in my head for the rest of my life. And I still have pain. It depends on what I’ve done (laughed, talked, slept) as to how much it hurts, but it’s still there.
Also, I’m paranoid about dry socket. I haven’t gotten it, but feel the need to check that the blood clot is still there every few hours or so. I know, I’m ridiculous. Yesterday during FHE I was giving announcements, and felt something soft in the corner of my mouth, and was thought ‘oh no, this is it, this is the blood clot coming out’. Nope, it was a piece of egg from supper. Thank goodness.;)
Yes, I’m a dweeb, I’m aware of this.
During the procedure of having my teeth removed from my skull, I was knocked out on anesthesia. I did, however, reach twilight about 4 times. That’s a vague awareness of what’s going on, but without really being .. uh.. aware of it.
Two of those times, I heard myself snoring. Lovely.
One time I felt something metal in my mouth, between tongue and jaw. The nurse said that was the tongue rake used to hold my tongue out of the way.
The last time I was aware of what felt like a chisel and hammer on my bottom left tooth. The nurse said it was used to elevate the tooth so it could be removed. And that it did kinda resemble a chisel and hammer.
Kinda glad I wasn’t awake for that. ;) tee hee…although the nitrous oxide they gave me (so they could find a vein to put the iv in, since they had to poke me a million times) was kind of delightful, I wont lie…
I’ll spare you a picture of my actual teeth…for now… bwahahaha! I did keep my teeth, and found out (after I decided to keep them), that they can be used to retrieve stem cells. See, being kind of creepy has it’s advantages…if I ever need some stem cells, I can just hand over my teeth and see what they can to with it. Awesome! That’s provident/resourceful living right there. :D
