Damn Vestigial Organ

So I woke up today and realized today was the day I would take out my wisdom teeth. If you're like me, you'd be hella scared (I said 'hella'). Well, I was. At 10AM I went to the Dental Surgeon. Seriously, that is his title. Who the hell would have such a scary title!? Anyhow, I went in and to my surprise, saw Danny Ma. Jump for joy! I wasn't alone. I looked through the appointment list and found Anna Ma's name too! Double jump for joy! I signed my name and sat down. Anna came out after several minutes and I asked her countless questions about the operation. She told me the 'shot' was the most painful part, but the rest wasn't so bad. Well, she was right. The shot felt like someone was scratching your gums. They shot about 8 shots in my gums (Yes, I counted). Basically, I analyzed the whole surgery, despite the fact that I was listening to my music on full blast. For those of you who will have your wisdom teeth taken out, here is how the surgery goes. (I'm using the word surgery to scare you guys :]).

So first, you are taken to an x-ray room. No big deal. The real fun start when they put topical medicine on your gums. They then inject several shots into your gums to numb your teeth. This varies from dentist to dentist however. They will then leave you alone for about 10 minutes for the injection to spread throughout the mouth. They will then test it by stabbing a metal stick into your teeth. It won't hurt that bad. The process begins there. They then start drilling your teeth area (from what I felt). If you have two on one side, they will drill both at the same time, even though it felt like they did only the bottom. They will then literally ply out the tooth. Rinse, repeat on other side. It wasn't so bad, because it seems to only take 10 minutes. Afterwards, you bite on a gauze and they will instruct you on how to treat your teeth. My advice is this: Take all of the wisdom teeth out at once. The time they take to do additional ones are only several minutes longer, and you won't have to renumb, go back and deal with all the crap again. You don't even feel a difference.

Anyhow, my face feels really swollen and the anesthetics have not worn out yet. I cannot talk, nor can I feel my face. I don't feel stupider (Yes, I know 'stupider' is not a word). I think I should nap and ice my face. I'll wake up to hell, I suppose.
