I got my wisdom tooth extracted on last Saturday. Before the extraction, I was already worried like hell, especially hearing a number of friends' not-so-good experiences.
At first, the dentist gave me 3 shots of local anesthesia before he use a surgical knife to cut open my gum. But, you know what? I still felt the pain so my body jerked a little, eventually the dentist gave me another shot of anesthesia. Oh mind! It reminds me what my superior once told me - one of his alcoholic friend also needed extra doses because his blood was insensitive to anesthesia due to drinking. But I'm not a drinker, am I ?
During my extraction, I was horrified. My heart was trembling so fast as if it would burst out any time. The process was like first sawing a huge tree trunk (I could smell a burning odor) and then plucking the roots from a hard ground. Full of forces. Terrible feeling, i could say. After the ordeal, my whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Amazing that I still managed to send messages to my 愛人, 情人 and friends on my status with my fingers trembling, before the anesthesia wore off, or before the pain started.
Now, the pain is not as bad as what I've imagined. However my wound is swollen as if I have stuffed an egg inside my mouth, and accompanied by a mild fever. Luckily, the bleeding stopped pretty fast.
I can't go out, can't eat much, can't talk much. I'm bored to death already. Hopefully, I will recover soon enough so that I can at least attend my colleague's big day this coming Saturday.
First of all, I want to ask, "Do you miss me ?"

I remember when I had my tooth extraction. My friends were also having those not-so-good stories. Being frequent at the dentist's chair for my braces for quite some time, I thought I can deal with the pain. But I was wrong, so wrong. I had to deal with the pain for almost two weeks. Like you, I felt so bored! I can't talk; I can't eat whatever I want. It felt so different to be forced to have a diet and to keep my mouth shut. I can't play acts with my band and I can't even tell them how I am over the phone. Good thing I was able to visit a great dentist. Germantown, TN will be our next location for the gig. And thanks to his skills, all of my ordeals are already gone! I can now sing!
