today's visit with the dentist

mouth open for 3 hours straight

countless anesthesia injections (my gums would not cooperate and would not get numb)

cheeks pushed and stretched the entire time

2 teeth (upper molars - the ones at the very back) - scraped, probed, poked, scratched, hooked, pushed, twisted, and eventually, pulled out

gums sewn closed

really bad migraine

can't eat anything except for cold soup (I don't know about you, but I like my soups hot)

feeding myself tiny bits of crackers that I have to wait to melt in my mouth before swallowing just to ease the hunger

ice packs stuck to both my cheeks

pain reliever - not working very well

not allowed any strenuous activities for the next 3 days - as if I could actually do anything with the grogginess

wishing I was high on stronger pain medication (haha)

thanks wisdom teeth.

BUH-BYE!
