Well, my wisdom teeth are OUT! Finally!
I have to say that all in all it went pretty smoothly; three of four were able to be pulled out without much trouble and the fourth was taken out in pieces because they couldn’t pull it out. The sound of the dentist pulling out the teeth was one of the most disgusting sounds I’ve ever heard though. That crunching noise sounded like bones breaking, to be honest. And it made me go ice cold and want to throw up.
After getting ‘em pulled, I had to wait around at the drug store to get a prescription for medical grade aspirin filled: my face was still numbed and I had my mouth stuffed full with gauze. We were there maybe half an hour waiting for the damn prescription to get filled? At some point I started drooling blood all over myself but I couldn’t feel it. We noticed way too late; I wrecked a favourite sweatshirt of mine because of the blood stains. So much blood…
Then I had an afternoon of nothing but pain and liquid foods. However, the dentist specifically banned any hot foods: only cold things. So, I went a day without any with one exception tea because I didn’t have anything cold brewed. What I did have was a lot of ice cream, some YOP, and some cold butternut squash soup. I’ve since upgraded today to very soft foods in addition to liquids. It’s frustrating though, tbh.
My one exception to the day without tea was a bottle of this: I know I made a note not to buy it again but I really needed something to drink and it was on sale at the drugstore when I was getting that prescription filled. It was quite satisfying; cool, refreshing, creamy…
Now I’m just waiting for the massive holes/sockets where the teeth were to heal up. I’m quite tender today; enough so I went home from work early because I was in so much pain. I wish I was allowed to take more of the medical grade aspirin but they’re pretty strict about the allowed dosage…
