Well, the worst’s over now…at least I think so. The pain isn’t as bad as yesterday.

Yesterday my brother bought the new Harry Potter book for me. And we also watched Return to Oz. That was nice of him. I was wearing gauzes for about 8 hours. Fun. It just wouldn’t stop bleeding.

I was home alone for quite a while since my mom was at work and my brother and dad were working too. It hurt to swallow! Imagine how I was with pudding! I felt like a baby…small bites, afraid to swallow, and very messy lips since I couldn’t lick them or stick the spoon in my mouth properly, lol.

When my mommy came home she made me cry…like twice. Not because she said anything hurtful because she was nice; I was just really emotional and I had the urge to cry about anything. Must be the hormones again!

I went to bed at 9 PM. I wrote a note to my mom asking her to wake me up and find me a non-electrical toothbrush. My dad read the note first since she came home late and woke me up, giving me a toothbrush. So I brushed my teeth…or at least I tried. It was painful to barely open my mouth. I went back to sleep only to wake up at 11 or 12 again. That was when my mom came home and came in to check up on me. Then I slept until 3 AM. Then I slept until 7 AM. Then 8 AM. Then 9 AM. Then 9:30 AM. I’m not in pain really, just only when I swallow, so it’s kind of weird that I kept waking up.

Drank an antibiotic pill, brushed my teeth, and rinsed with warm water and salt. Oh yes, the taste is great…lol. I’m going to rinse every time after I eat.

Ate pudding at 11 and had my pain reliever pill. Ate pudding and applesauce and had my pain reliever pill at 3. 7 I had my pill and ate ice cream and cheese. My mommy made me soup so I can eat it cold later tonight at 11 when I take my pill (I can’t eat anything hot yet).

What a lovely schedule. I miss eating real food! I have a hankering for Mac N Cheese…yum….but I don’t dare to eat it now. My brother was microwaving food and basically everything my family is eating smells so good at the moment. Funny how the one time I get to eat junk all day I don’t want to.

The phone’s been ringing a lot today. No way I’m picking it up! ;D

My family’s been so nice to me. I wish it was like this all the time. It makes me want to have more family time together…I’m hoping once I can eat again I can get the family to go out to eat at least once a week. I’m not going to be able to have this time in the future. It’s scary to think about so I don’t think about it…but I should at least think about spending lots of time together for now.

Operation TWTO (Take Wisdom Teeth Out) is over! …Until I have to go again next year! Doh! dklfjsl!

The dentist people were really nice to me.

It wasn’t as HORRIBLE as I had anticipated all month…or however long I’ve been waiting until today. The thing I was the most afraid of was gagging and/or having the injections really really hurt. Well, I didn’t gag (Although I did a few times before I went to the dentist lol) and the injections weren’t as bad as the ones 4-5 years ago (…the ones that I still remember till this day >_<). My dentist put some apple smelling numbing stuff on my gums before the injections so it didn't hurt as bad. What hurt the most during the surgery...was the surgery. lol. It was when...I don't even know. She was cutting and digging in there or something and it was like OWW. So she stopped and asked me if it hurt and gave me more of the good stuff (injections). There was cracking and drilling and all those kinds of scary noises.

Finally when it was done…it was done. I saw my wisdom teeth *shakes fist at them*. They were all bloody. I had to sit and wait because my mom was out buying food since she was really hungry. They gave me ice and cold water in a glove for my face, lol.

Um…the phone is ringing. Eww, I’m not picking it up. All they’ll hear from me is mumbling, lol. No one’s home right now except for me. I think it may be Benny? He’s probably worried. I should go online soon.

Then we got medication from the Pharmicist. One bottle of antibiotics, which I take three times a day an hour before I eat or 2-3 hours after I eat. One bottle to relieve the pain, which I take every four hours after I eat something.

Once we got home I peed. Lol. I had to go really badly.

So what my dentist did was totally remove one wisdom tooth. But the other was too deep in my gums, so she cut the bone to make it grow out more. My wisdom teeth were mean, they were both deep in my gums and growing under my second molars, which would totally damage my second molars if they kept growing or if they tried removing it.

I have to go again next week so they can cut the stitches.

And now the aching is kicking in. And yet I still can’t feel my lips.

What saddens me is I will have to go through this again next year…or during break or whatever. At least only one side of my mouth will hurt?

Anyway, thanks to the peoples that (tried) to comfort me lol. I thought about some of you when I was at the dentist. But dude, how cool would it have been if they just gassed me to sleep? No pain whatsoever! Oh well. I heard it’s really unsafe or whatever though.

YAY! I look like a chipmonk…one with one side of his mouth full of food. Hah. I’ve always wanted to look like one?
